Hypnosis for EXAM NERVES AND ENHANCING PERFORMANCE
Very few people enjoy exams. It's hard not to let it all get on top of you. What happens if I fail? What if my mind goes blank? Have I done enough work? It’s probably all gone through your mind. Thankfully hypnosis can help.
Research shows that hypnosis can be a very effective way to overcome exam nerves (see references below). It is a well kept secret, but professional hypnotherapists will give you example after example of clients who have had exam success after hypnosis*.
Hypnosis helps by enabling you to safely and gently release any pressure or anxiety and focus more on the task in hand. After a course of hypnosis people often report that their worries fade with every day and (believe it or not) you even find yourself looking forward to your next exam!*
Obviously there is no substitute for putting in the hours hypnosis can help motivate you to keep up the study whilst preparing you to perform to your best on the day. Hypnosis can help you perform by increasing focus and concentration at the times when you need it most. You will find that the moment you sit down to do that exam you will feel calm and alert. Any nervous energy will be converted into pure focused awareness so you can perform to your very best*.
