Hypnotherapy for Performance Anxiety



Are you considering a career in hypnotherapy and eager to understand how you can help clients overcome performance issues hindering their success in various areas of their lives?

Performance anxiety can be debilitating, whether it's in work, relationships, or presentations. But fear not, hypnotherapy offers a path to breaking free from its grip and accessing true potential, both in the bedroom and the boardroom.


The Subconscious Mind and Performance Anxiety


To truly understand performance anxiety, it's essential to grasp the workings of the subconscious mind. The SC mind is driven by the need to protect us, often in ways that override our rational thoughts and beliefs, leading to debilitating anxiety in performance situations.


If the SC mind perceives being in the spotlight or performing as threatening or undesirable, it will do everything it can to remove you from that situation. The power of hypnotherapy lies in accessing the SC mind to uncover the origins of performance anxiety, shedding light on its triggers and underlying causes.


Real-Life Examples


Through my experience working with clients, I have encountered various causes of performance anxiety. Here are a few examples:


  • Childhood Trauma: One client’s anxiety stemmed from a childhood incident where she was mocked during her first oral presentation. That single event led her SC mind to declare, "We are never doing THAT again."

  • Public Speaking: Another client had intense anxiety about public speaking that stemmed from a feeling that it was unsafe to be seen. this feeling began as a child when her rageoholic father would "go off" and my client felt she had to be invisible and blend into the background in order to be safe.

  • Social Situations: A third client felt inadequate when being the center of attention at social gatherings, stemming from a series of uncomfortable interactions in their teens.


Your Path as a Hypnotherapist


As a hypnotherapist, you'll be able to guide clients through a journey to overcome performance anxiety. Our process begins with understanding their unique experiences and pinpointing the triggers of their anxiety.


You will learn to ask insightful questions to get a clear picture of their situation, such as:


  • How does performance anxiety manifest in your life?

  • In which areas of your life does it affect you the most?

  • How long have you been grappling with performance anxiety?

  • Can you recall any significant events or circumstances surrounding its onset?

  • Do you have any theories about what triggers your anxiety?

  • What would you like to achieve and feel instead in those performance situations?


Once you gather this information, you'll create a tailored strategy to help your clients overcome performance anxiety. The number of sessions required can vary, as additional factors may be uncovered along the way.
