Have you ever found yourself dreading presentations at your office meetings? Have you ever felt sheer panic whenever you are asked to go on stage in front of hundreds of people?
This is a common phenomenon called stage fright. Stage fright is essentially known as the feeling of nervousness that you may feel when addressing an audience.
It is also known as the fear of public speaking or performance of any sort. It often causes a great amount of stress and takes a toll on your self-confidence.
Many who suffer from stage fright or performance anxiety choose to keep it a secret to avoid embarrassment, however, that only proves to cause more damage. There are many solutions to problems like stage fright, one of the most successful ones is stage fright hypnotherapy.
At CityHypno, I can help you with several life issues, including stage fright.
Let’s take a deeper look into what stage fright really is.
What is Stage Fright?
When you are asked to address an audience, you are likely to feel that you have been put on the spot. This brings forth a feeling of discomfort, which translates itself into nervousness, panic or anxiety.
This state of anxiety and fear can often work against you and cause you intense distress. If you harbour these feelings before addressing an audience or starting a performance, you are likely to make mistakes.
For many people who suffer from severe stage fright and performance anxiety, even the mere thought of performing or addressing an audience can be intense. The worst stage fright symptoms include headaches, a higher heart rate, sweating, nausea, an urge to escape, stuttering or falling unusually silent.
There are many ways to overcome stage fright, including professional psychotherapy sessions. However, there are also some alternative therapy routes that you should consider for maximum success.
Stage fright hypnotherapy is a special type of alternative method that can help you deal with your feelings of nervousness and discomfort. Hypnotherapy makes use of a lot of different tools and techniques to deal with a variety of issues.
Overcoming stage fright with the help of hypnotherapy is not only possible but can also be highly effective.
Stage Fright Hypnotherapy—How it Works
When it comes to stage fright hypnotherapy, it is important to address what stage fright essentially is. Simply put, stage fright occurs due to negative thoughts and emotions that are linked to the action of performing on a stage.
These negative thought patterns and emotions can have links to past experiences, where you may have faced similar issues. The way you deal or cope with these issues could have a hand in formulating a pattern in your life.
That is, the way you dealt with this issue in a similar situation in the past could have formed a permanent reflex reaction for all such situations in the future.
Now, the question is, how can stage fright hypnotherapy help you? Let us dive into the details.
De-linking Past Experiences From the Present
During stage fright hypnotherapy, I will make use of techniques like relaxation and regression to help you go back into your past. We will uncover experiences where you have had similar negative reactions and work on them together. We will then replace them with more positive, healthy coping strategies so that you are no longer afraid of facing an audience.
The Need for Perfection
A lot of the time, people suffer from stage fright simply because they expect a lot from themselves. The need to deliver the perfect speech or presentation can make you afraid of making even the tiniest of mistakes.
However, this need for perfection can contribute to a feeling of anxiety within yourself. This anxiety constantly triggers thoughts like, what could possibly go wrong, instead of letting you focus on your task.
With stage fright hypnotherapy, we can work together to redefine what perfection is and work on your expectations of yourself. This will help you to feel more confident the next time that you need to go on stage.
Perceived Negative Reactions of Others
If you think about it, it is not necessary for you to have anxiety before a performance. However, it can occur if you are constantly thinking about how you will be perceived by the audience. In this case, you may be dealing with the fear of what your audience will think of you or your performance.
With stage fright hypnotherapy, we will work together on your self-concept, as well as confidence. This will then propel you to build a new perspective of others and how you react to their perceptions of you. It will help you to feel less anxious about how you will be perceived and more confident about your own performance.
