Overcoming Stage Fright with Hypnosis and Energy Psychology
One of the worst psychological disorders affecting many professionals is known as stage fright. What makes this fear particularly harmful is hat the internally generated response to the fear is greatly out of proportion to the actual danger that a person faces when presenting in public.
Say, for instance, that you’re afraid of flying. You can rationally argue that there is a certain probability of hitting bad turbulence, engine problems, or any other problem that could result in a crash. But with performance anxiety or stage fright, there is usually no actual danger at all.
That said, the funny thing about anxieties is that they can’t be killed through rational discussion. No matter how much logic you try to apply to the problem, it just won’t change the gut-wrenching response that you feel, as someone who suffers from such an anxiety. Why is this? Because the response you feel is kinaesthetic rather than one based on logic. This results in a highly unpleasant and very powerful physiological shift created by the flooding of stress chemicals in your bloodstream. Specifically, epinephrine and cortisol.
The unfortunate sole dealing with anxiety experiences a wide range of awful symptoms and feelings such as shaky hands, a parched mouth, weak knees, a pounding of the heart, and even panic.
No matter how strong your developed response might be in a situation when you’re on stage, it is possible to dramatically reduce or even eliminate completely the terror and stress. You can replace these feelings with empowerment and elation. Even if you are highly anxious and reluctant to speak you can make fast and effective improvements in both your skill set and how you feel while you’re presenting.
There are a number of effective methodologies in the modern psychotherapeutic arsenal that have an excellent success rate against stage fright, and all sorts of performance anxiety.
In my own private practice in Toronto, many years ago, I made use of the old discipline of hypnosis, alongside newer power therapies including EFT, Be Set Free Fast and New Code NLP. The former two are energy psychology therapeutic methods.
Hypnosis, is an excellent means of dealing with stage fright, inasmuch as it permits a skilled therapist to both rewrite the subject’s negative past, and build in a more resourceful future. With good trance work, we can access and transform problematic states and fix problems at the unconscious level.
Energy psychology provides an alternate way of deleting bad feelings that hold the client back. It is then a simple matter to install new empowering beliefs, and create resourceful states that transform a problem into a pleasure. One session is often all that is needed.
