Performance anxiety encompasses a spectrum of situations ranging from job interviews, public speaking engagements, to exam-taking, driving tests, auditions, or performances. It involves the emotions experienced when presenting oneself in front of an audience, exposing oneself to scrutiny, and potentially feeling vulnerable in the face of possible mistakes
Examinations, conversely, assess your understanding, yet the anxiety they induce remains the same. Such anxiety typically stems from self-doubt, concerns about competence, falling short of personal expectations, and a lack of confidence in sharing the knowledge we possess.
Here are some suggestions to help mitigate performance nerves:
Performance nerves have the potential to be overwhelming, triggering panic and causing temporary cognitive lapses as we struggle to recall familiar knowledge.
Subsequently, anxiety can intensify, manifesting in symptoms such as palpitations, sweaty palms, dry mouth, and a queasy stomach. As our nervousness escalates, it may culminate in panic attacks, accompanied by a sense of losing control. Should this pattern persist, it necessitates a change in behaviour.
Integrated NLP and hypnotherapy can help to support you in eliminating this assisting you to beat your performance or exam nerves forever.
