Performance Enhancement helps people to realize their maximum
potential. It helps people to overcome barriers and maximize
strengths. EMDR helps stimulate
the brain’s information processing system and the rapid healing
of psychological barriers that prevent optimal performance.
EMDR Peak Performance was originally developed as Performance Enhancement
for athletes, performing artists and business people. It helps
to remove barriers that get in the way of peak performance abilities.
For example, it can help a musician who is getting stuck on one
part of a piece of music or an actor who is having trouble remembering
some lines. It can help a business person to feel more confident
with public speaking or networking. It can help athletes,
musicians, dancers, actors, and business people reach their full
potential.
EMDR Performance Enhancement is also helpful to improve day-to-day
activities that many of us experience. It can be helpful in
a variety of ways. Some examples include:
Improving social skills
Improving dating skills
Managing binge eating or overeating
Improving time management skills
Improving organizational skills
I attended EMDR Peak Performance training with Sam Foster, one
of the two creators of the protocol. I have also attended
EMDR conference workshops with David Grand whose Performance Enhancement
approach focuses on creativity and the arts.
