Hypnotherapy in Highgate Can Help Overcome a Fear of Public Speaking*

public-speakingIt may come as a surprise to know that an estimated three out of four people have a speech anxiety. If you feel that you are being held back from achieving your true potential and enjoying life to the full due to this phobia, hypnotherapy at the Conway Practice in Highgate can help with a fear of public speaking*.

Hypnotherapy will enable you to speak with confidence whenever you are required to converse with others*.

‘Public speaking’ covers a multitude of situations, from a one-to-one conversation to presenting to a large audience. Identifying the source of your anxiety and getting past your fear is the first stage towards building your speaking and presentation skills*.

Often the root cause can be a fear of rejection, from something as simple as recalling a bad experience in the classroom or amongst peers. Perhaps in the past you feel your ideas have been criticised and you now dread a similar response. You may be afraid that you will ‘dry up’ when you start to speak and be unable to say anything at all. This is typical of ‘stage fright’ where the performer knows every word of the script but becomes frozen with fear.

Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking can adversely affect so many areas of life. On a career level, job seekers experience pre-interview nerves and executives may find it difficult and inhibiting to present their proposals at board meetings or to clients. Even social events can be spoiled if the anxiety extends to meeting someone outside of the normal circle of friends and the ‘comfort zone’.

So how can hypnotherapy help for speech anxiety?  During sessions with Jonathan at the Conway Practice in Highgate, hypnosis and NLP will be combined*.

You will be shown relaxation response and positive visualisation techniques* which you will be able to continue later on your own.

Relaxation is opposite to the ‘fight or flight’ response and reduces the adrenalin rush triggered by fear. Self-hypnosis can be practised at any time when you find yourself in a stressful situation*. The power of your own sub-conscious mind will be used to develop a more positive way of thinking, ensuring that with improved self-confidence there will be no missed opportunities or emotional distress due to a fear of speaking in public*.
