Surfing is a way to dissolve underlying stress or triggers (Podcast in english)
Lisa Davidsson is the SurfPsycholgist. I talk to her about why she became a surf psychologist and why her clients reach out. Her clients are dealing with triggers, panic and just circumstances while surfing. For Lisa this is not surprising, since she says: "The ocean is a triggering place. It brings up things because it is that uncontrolled environment .. that puts us outside of our comfort zone. ... This arena that facilitates our struggles our maladaptive behaviors, the things that we do, that are not serving us." She also describes the situation, where she would die being Suring out in the ocean. I am a psychologist, hypnotherapist, surfer, and the founder of Surf Psychology. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from Lund University, with specializations in Neuropsychology and Social Psychology and I’m a certified hypnotherapist. For nearly two decades, I have worked within the field of psychology and mental health in therapeutic and developmental settings. Surfing has been a central part of my life alongside my professional path. Over time, I began to see how the psychological patterns I worked with professionally, fear responses, nervous system activation, self-criticism, avoidance, and identity were vividly present in the surfing experience. That intersection became the foundation of my work. Drawing from formal psychological training, therapeutic experience, hypnotherapy, nervous system awareness, and lived surf experience, I developed Surf Psychology as a framework for understanding the unique mental demands of surfing. My work bridges psychological depth with embodied experience in the ocean, helping surfers transform fear, build confidence, and shift the subconscious patterns that hold them back.
