Performance Anxiety
My client belongs to a local choir and he loves to sing but had recently become very self-concious about singing and in particular performing in front of an audience. He had stopped going to rehearsals and felt very despondent as he missed singing and the company of the choir. In therapy we talked about how and why the anxiety had developed and using various techniques in CBT and hypnosis I was able to help him change the way he thought and felt so he could return to singing which he so loved.
“ I had a profound change in the way I now think about the concert and singing, I am now excited to perform and have been able to control my self-conscious thoughts about it. Absolutely thrilled”
“Natasha was able to give me perspective, she acknowledged my feelings and did not judge or diminish my anxiety.”
“I had never experienced being hypnotised before and I found it deeply relaxing, it was profound when Natasha introduced the pain dial as I experienced making my pain go up and I was able to also reduce the pain, this has made me feel confident that I can use this skill for my upcoming procedure.”
“I was sceptical that this would work/help with my procrastinating but by discussing alternative predictions/outcomes and thinking through how to prepare for any problems a lot of my apprehension went away
I feel I am now more in control and can use these skills/coping strategies for other problems/situations in my life”
