Get Help for a Fear of Public Speaking with Hypnotherapy*

confidenceIf you are someone who is trying to cope with a fear of speaking in public, the Conway Practice provides help to overcome this with hypnotherapy.* Speaking in public isn’t necessarily limited to addressing a large audience and anxiety can also be a triggered when presenting ideas and reporting to a small group of people or even on a one-to-one basis.

Hypnotherapy can help with a fear of public speaking by enabling you to recognise the source of the problem.* It could well be traced to an incident in the past which you may not even consciously recall. The subconscious mind can store negative thoughts which surface when you find yourself in a similar situation and fear that you will experience a repeat reaction. You may be afraid that you will let yourself down and others will judge you badly. This could relate as far back as childhood when you were called to speak in the classroom and were chastised by tutors or ridiculed by your peers.

Stage fright is a good example of when a fear of public speaking can become overwhelming. Adrenalin is raised in a fight or flight reaction when faced with performing in front of an audience, with acute anxiety about how people will react when you speak. You may be called to deliver a speech at a wedding or other social celebration and are anxious about how you will get through it on the day, concerned about forgetting your lines or the words simply drying up in front of everyone. This fear can also limit how well you are able to present yourself during an interview or when communicating with work colleagues, negatively affecting your career progression.

During hypnosis Jonathan will show you calming methods to enable you to relax not only during your presentation, but also while you are preparing to speak.* You will be able to visualise a positive outcome and erase any negative thought patterns that have been reducing your self-belief, enabling you to speak with confidence.*  For more information call Jonathan Conway today on 01273 540425
