Calm when it counts.
Stage fright, public speaking, interviews, the big moment, performance anxiety is the freeze response firing at the worst time. I settle it at the source.
What you can expect
Performance anxiety is the anxiety response firing at the worst possible moment, and hypnosis has strong support there: a 2019 meta-analysis of 17 trials found it produced a large average reduction in anxiety, working best combined with other techniques, which is how I approach it.
What's included
You know what you're doing. You've prepared. And then the moment arrives, the stage, the room, the interview, the start line, and your body betrays you: heart pounding, mind blank, voice tight. The cruel part is that it strikes precisely when you most want to be at your best.
Performance anxiety is the freeze-or-flee response triggering when there's no actual danger, your nervous system treating a presentation like a predator. It's automatic and subconscious, which is why telling yourself to “just relax” does nothing. The trigger has to be reset where it actually fires.
I find your specific trigger, the moment it kicks in, and settle the response at the source, then rehearse the situation so your mind learns a new, composed pattern in its place. You can channel the energy instead of being hijacked by it. You'll get an audio to prepare with before the real thing. Most people need two or three sessions, and I can build the work around a specific event.
We start with a free diagnostic call to pinpoint what's really driving the pattern. From there I build a tailored plan, typically 2–3 sessions, blending clinical hypnotherapy with performance psychology, so the change holds. You'll also get an audio of every session to keep, listening back is where it gets reinforced.
Common questions
It's the same mechanism, the anxiety response, but aimed at specific high-pressure moments, so I focus the work on those triggers.
