Over time, you may find yourself tackling slopes with greater confidence, better control and a renewed enjoyment of the sport.

Can self-hypnosis help with fear of skiing?
Self-hypnosis may help when you have learned the necessary skiing skills but fear or anxiety is affecting your confidence. The recording uses relaxation, positive suggestion and mental rehearsal to help you imagine skiing with greater calm and trust in your ability. It is not a substitute for professional ski instruction.
Why am I scared of skiing even though I know how to ski?
This is surprisingly common. You may have the technical ability to ski safely but still experience anxiety about speed, steep slopes, falling or losing control. Previous falls or frightening experiences can also affect skiing confidence long after your physical skills have returned.
Can this help if I've lost my skiing confidence after a fall?
It may help you work on the anxiety and negative expectations that can develop after a fall. The hypnosis session encourages you to mentally rehearse skiing calmly and confidently again. However, if the fall has affected your technique or you have been away from skiing for some time, a refresher lesson with a qualified ski instructor is also a good idea.
What if I'm frightened of skiing too fast or losing control?
Fear of speed and losing control are common causes of skiing anxiety. This recording is designed to help you feel calmer and more confident in the skills you have already learned, including your ability to control your speed and movement on appropriate terrain.
When should I start listening before my ski holiday?
I recommend starting before you travel rather than waiting until you are already on the slopes. Regular listening gives you time to become familiar with the session and mentally rehearse feeling calm and confident before your holiday begins.
How often should I listen to the Fear of Skiing hypnosis recording?
You can listen regularly in the weeks leading up to your ski holiday and continue during the holiday if you find it helpful. There is no need to force yourself to feel differently after a particular number of sessions. Give yourself time to become familiar with the recording and notice gradual changes in how you think and feel about skiing.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
The recording can help with nervousness, but it does not teach you how to ski. Beginners should receive proper instruction from a qualified ski instructor or ski school. The programme is intended to support the psychological side of skiing confidence alongside appropriate tuition.
Can I listen to the recording immediately before skiing?
Yes, provided you're somewhere safe and don't need to remain alert while listening. Never listen while skiing, driving or doing anything requiring your full attention.
I don’t usually write about products that I purchase, but I wanted to share my experience with others.
I started skiing about a month ago and took about 4 private lessons (4 days in a row) - I was your average learner (snowplough, some parallel on greens), BUT I was always afraid. On my second lesson I had a complete meltdown and had to walk down the hill. My husband managed to get me back on the hill later in the day but the fear of going downhill and accelerating, plus the feeling of not having control, never really went away.
Last week we went to a new hill close to home. I did one run, found some icy patches, went through that horrible feeling again, and decided to pack up my skis for good. That evening, as a last resort, I purchased this MP3. I listened to it 3 times over a couple of days, not quite sure if it ‘worked’ or not, as I have never tried hypnosis before.
Anyway, last Sunday my husband pushed me to join him for the last ski of the season at a location where I have skied a couple of times before. I joined him, and as I was going uphill on the chairlift, I wondered if I would feel any different this time. So, on the first run I felt a lot less fearful, but I did stop halfway on the route, took some deep breaths, and told myself to STOP any negative thoughts. The next run was much better, and by run number 3 I was feeling very confident without any fear at all. I skied all day from 9am to 4pm with just a 20-minute break for lunch!
This really changed skiing for me. I still need to improve my technique, but now I can do so while enjoying myself and not having to deal with the fear that used to come with it
Jane MooreI have been on numerous skiing holidays but never really enjoyed the skiing part! Two years ago I was in Switzerland, and had a bad skiing accident resulting in me being in plaster and on crutches for five months.
I truly never thought I would ski again. However I searched for this type of product. Listened to it approx three times before I went on holiday, and then three times whilst actually there. It helped me enormously. I did not have the fear that was common for me as I approached the lifts , my skiing was pretty good and I enjoyed myself. I know that I probably would not have managed it without using this CD.
Sharon is wonderful to listen to. Cannot recommend highly enough.
TissoIt made such a difference to my holiday, can't wait for next year!
Ms Joan WrightThe recording is very relaxing. As Sharon herself warns, I fell asleep twice the first 2 attempts. After that I tried again and was successful! I don't know how this works but all I can say is that after 3 seasons of learning to ski and being paralyzed with fear much of the time, I skied after listening to this recording and I was transformed. I had about 90% less fear and (along with yet another private lesson)I finally was able to master the technique and was able to ski (with parallel turns) down a red slope which in January I could not even slide down.
I would recommend anyone to try this MP3. At the very least it will help you to relax and may even help you to overcome your skiing nerves enough to be able to progress. Thanks Sharon!
