Remove Blocks
During Peak Performance Therapy we will remove blocks to achievement, build mental strengths and resources. Self-defeating behaviors, attitudes and beliefs can be modified and replaced with high-functioning behaviors, perspectives and beliefs. You can remove blocks caused by past failure. The first step in performance enhancement therapy is to define your goals, and any limit or ceiling you are encountering. Identify stress, blocks, fears. What are your strengths? Where do you want to be, when? What factors are slowing you in reaching your goals, or what could speed your success?

The Power of EMDR
Peak performance, or "performance enhancement" takes EMDR's power and removes negative beliefs, enabling new programming in the mind, strengthening the physiological sensations and visualization of the desired performance.
It can be difficult to imagine a positive future when negativity has dominated one's thinking, emotions and behaviors. The goal of this therapy is that the devastating effects of negative feelings, thoughts and behaviors will be transformed into positive programming and more vibrant health and well-being.
Note that research results don't yet support all the ways that individual therapists use EMDR in their practice. Please ask your therapist to tell you about their training and successes with clients. Read more about the current research and the efficacy of EMDR (emdria.org). Peak Performance can enhance and "install" positive programming for future tasks, challenges and performances. It can increase creativity, enthusiasm, self-confidence, and quality of work performance. You will move beyond your current best to higher levels. And you will find that these techniques “pre-program” your brain, allowing you to focus exclusively on the task or performance itself.
