Performance anxiety is a term used to refer to self-consciousness and anxiousness about the quality of one's performance -- a self-conscious, self-doubting awareness that hinders performance instead of helping.

Performance anxiety can be anxiety about testing (also known as test anxiety), about an artistic performance of some sort, about lovemaking, about public speaking, about sports -- whatever -- any already fairly well learned ability that is likely to be better accomplished without a lot of self-consciousness and focus of conscious attention.

Performance anxiety is very easily caused. All it takes to become anxious about performance is having something happen that makes you cautious and mindful of what you're doing when caution and mindfulness are counterproductive to good performance. Then, once a performance has gone badly and you become worried that further performances will also go badly, you then become even more cautious and more mindful -- which results in even further problems with your performance.

Because many kinds of performance require a component of almost automatic actions, reactions and such, careful thinking gets in the way of optimal performance. [You can test this by simply trying to pay close attention to what you are doing next time you walk from one place to another. Careful, cautious, close attention to actions, moves, choices and reactions, while walking, will result in very clumsy walking and possibly a fall. Having a fall will often result in you being more attentive to actions the next time you walk and thus you will be even more likely to fall. This is how performance anxiety gets started.]

Optimal performance -- even optimal walking -- is best done when the well practiced aspects of the actions that are needed are allowed to simply happen under the control of what are usually called "unconscious processes." Self-consciousness and especially self-criticism is very counterproductive to the optimal performance of well-learned, "natural" actions.

Performance anxiety is very easily cured. Since it is the anxiousness about failure that makes performance anxiety come about, all it takes to stop performance anxiety is to have a few successes. Because the problem is the self-fulfilling prophesy of anxiousness about performance, all that really needs to happen is for the person experiencing this anxiety to a) understand how it all works and b) either be lucky enough to have a few successes in spite of anxiety or be lucky enough to forget to be anxious long enough to have a few successes.

Performance anxiety is generally very responsive to hypnosis and hypnotic interventions. Hypnosis is helpful because it can foster a sense of confidence and it can actually make it possible to forget to be anxious for a brief little time.

Head-Cleaners Hypnosis Tapes & Hypnosis CDs
for Performance Anxiety
be "in the zone"
increase confidence, calm
turn off self-conscious thinking

performance 2
on CD and tape cassette and MP3
For adults and older adolescents.
Hypnosis for reduction of anxious, intrusive, self-conscious, self-critical thoughts that interfere with optimal performance. Logical, sensible, hypnotically presented suggestions and guided imagery are designed to foster an empowering, effective sense of confidence and an ability to smoothly -- almost automatically -- perform without interference from self-doubts, self-critical thoughts or self-consciousness. This hypnosis CD/tape is for performance anxiety of all sorts, including male sexual performance anxiety, anxiousness about public speaking, anxiety about sports performance, anxiety about artistic performance, social anxiety, test anxiety, stage fright, etc. This hypnosis tape/CD is different from most of the other Head-Cleaners hypnosis tapes and hypnosis CDs in that it provides a powerful, potent, "specific-circumstance," "certain-amount-of-time," "powerful-but-temporary," effect. It is intended to reduce negative self-talk, self-consciousness, etc. ONLY for the duration of an event, performance, presentation, or whatnot. This is very different from other Head-Cleaners hypnosis tapes and hypnosis CDs which are intended to provide effects that are less intensive but enduring. Though there may be enduring effects that can be expected from listening to this hypnosis recording (i.e., more confidence, less self-consciousness), the main focus of the recording is to foster the ability to temporarily tune-out or turn off self-consciousness and self-critiquing.

avoid self-sabotaging attitudes
handle challenges optimally

self to self partneringstar-small-blinking.gif - 427 Bytes
on CD and tape cassette and MP3
for adolescents and adults
Hypnotically presented, compellingly logical suggestions for establishing and fostering the best possible relationship with one's self. A hypnotic fine-tuning of how one reacts and relates with one's self when dealing with the challenges, struggles and frustrations of life. A hypnotic aid especially important to anyone working on self-improvement, stress management, struggle, loss, challenge or change. Especially important to the "self-esteem-ally" challenged who may at times struggle with feelings of self loathing or a tendency to engage in self-sabotage and/or self-directed anger. Focuses on practical attitudes and perspectives on dealing with one's self for maximum, optimal practical, positive productivity and patience. [This hypnosis recording is a very important, practical hypnotic self-help aid all by itself, AND, because it is focused on optimizing the listener's attitudes about self, change, fears, past failures and growth, listening to it in tandem with any other Head-Cleaners hypnosis recording (e.g., listening to Self one day, the other recording the next) will increase the effectiveness of the other recording also.]
