About performance anxiety
Many people experience varying degrees of anxiety before performing infront of others.
Performance anxiety can be a debilitating condition, preventing the sufferer from reaching their full potential in different areas of their life including work, social life and personal relationships and leading to lowered self-esteem and irritability.
Sufferers report feelings of extreme anxiety when faced with situations in which they must perform in the presence of others.
Performance anxiety may also affect relationships with loved ones, and may prevent the realisation of dreams and future goals.
Techniques that may be used in your therapy session
Sessions will be personally tailored to your individual circumstances and may include:
• Talking therapy
• Clinical Hypnosis / Traditional Hypnotherapy
• Relaxing visualisations
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
• Solution Focussed Therapy
• Desensitisation to triggers
• EMDR
• Autogenic Training
• Mindfulness
All of these techniques have proved to be very effective in achieving long-term change and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is extremely effective in helping clients increase their confidence levels and, as its name suggests, works on emotions, beliefs and behaviour.
For those people suffering with performance anxiety, it is important to keep on top of their reactions by learning stress-reduction techniques such as Self-Hypnosis and Autogenic Training, taught free of charge to all interested clients. Practising these wonderful skills enables rapid long-lasting achievement of desired results.
