Poker players are constantly trying to improve their skills and their emotional control for those big bluffs, and it was only a matter of time before someone came up with a mind program to help them achieve their goals.
Certified hypnotherapist Michele Burghardt is first to the draw with her Mind Mentor Coaching Program designed to help Texas Hold’em players with their psychological game by retraining their brains to control body language reactions in stressful situations.
The program uses one-on-one telephone sessions to help players overcome problems in their game using hypnotherapy, neuro linguistic programming techniques and repetitive relaxation (the last one sounds like fun!). As new positive behaviours are introduced to a player’s game, the results are used as feedback for following sessions.
Players can enroll for up to 12 one hour sessions. Each session includes a customised 30-minute recorded hypnotherapy session for reinforcement that the player receives in the mail.
Burghardt says there is an audio series available as a starter tool, and the Mind Mentor Coaching Program is the best choice for players who know they have specific challenges in their game and want to focus on these.
With eight years of experience and thousands of hours of hypnotherapy on her resume, Burghardt and husband Eric know what they are talking about, and are also successful Texas Hold’em tournament players.
