HAZEL GALE
From Athlete To Therapist
I first discovered cognitive hypnotherapy as a kickboxer training towards the ISKA World Championships in 2009. Although I was used to training through all sorts of illnesses and injuries, chronic fatigue (caused by consistent overtraining and maintained stress) was giving me serious problems.
I was tired and depressed, and I was rapidly losing hope. I told myself that if I couldn’t get fit this time I’d hang my gloves up for good.
Cognitive hypnotherapy meant that I didn’t have to do that, and I went on to win multiple World and European titles in kickboxing, and later, numerous National and European titles in ABA boxing. For more about my journey, check out my article “The Fighter Mindset: From Burnout To The Medal Podium”.
After experiencing the power of Cog Hyp first hand, I felt (and still do feel) compelled to help others achieve their goals in the same way.
