Dear All
The technical name for Stage fright, is Glossophobia.
![Confident stage performance]( "Confident stage performance")
Having had stage fright myself when I was younger, I can very well understand how debilitating it can be for people. I can remember being forced to present in front of a large group of people and being unable to get the words out of my mouth.
My own issue had arisen, because when I was younger I had smashed my front teeth and the temporary caps I had to have on my teeth, before I was 18 distorted my speech. I can also remember being forced in a drama class to perform, when I felt uncomfortable, with the threat of seeing the headmaster if I didn't deliver.
I would say not one thing leads to stage fright, but a number of memories over the years added together, later in life can cause you to struggle to speak out in front of groups of people.
Different people will suffer in different ways, with the fear of Public speaking.
How would I help you with the fear of Public Speaking using Hypnotherapy?
To start with I would find out it little bit more about you and why you fear speaking in front of groups of people.
I would then relax you deeply into a Hypnotic trance and suggest a positive outcome into your subconscious mind and also get you to visualise confidently speaking in front of groups of people.
The session would be recorded onto a CD, which I would recommend you using daily. The key to all of this is relaxation. By listening to the recording daily, you will carry the feeling of relaxation over into your life and feel more relaxed when you get into high pressure situations, such as Public speaking.
On top of that, as you become more relaxed in your daily life, you will start to release negative experiences from your past, that make you feel uncomfortable, when speaking in front of groups of people.
You are now much more confident than the younger you, that experienced certain situations in a negative way when you was growing up. By coming to terms with these past memories, you will learn from them and file them away more cleanly in your subconscious mind.
If you stutter of stammer this is a much more deeply held fear of speaking, whether with individuals or groups of people and I would work in a similar way with you.
We can agree how often we need to schedule an appointment and each session will be a continuation of the previous session and you will be provided with a new tailor made Hypnotherapy recording, to take away and listen to daily.
Until next time
Think positive
Best regards
Tim
