I can see how the PSTEC can be really spot on, and often, I will employ a "percussive breathing" technique I learned from Patricia Guyton, the famous Pilates guru from Boulder. It incorporates the nervous system, focused thought and requires attention to the "now". I'll use it even when driving. Thanks for the insightful input. best, Stephen Hi Tim,

I agree that the value of pattern interrupts simply cannot be underestimated. TPIs are a cornerstone of the free PSTEC (Percusive suggestion technique) the technique which I developed to help rapidly change emotional reactions. My own work makes use of non cognitive pattern interrupts extensively and is already being used by a number of sports people, although it is more commonly associated with the treatment of emotional problems. It's wonderful to see that others appreciate the value of pattern interrupts. They are incredibly useful and can be applied to almost any type of situation. I can recommend their use wholeheartedly.
