“A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success.” Dr. Joyce Brothers
Scholastic success consists of two parts -- learning the material and being able to pass a test showing that you know the material. When we believe we can successfully pass a test, it is much easier to do so. How many times have you said to yourself, “I haven’t studied enough,” “I’m not sure I can pass,” and my favorite, “What if I fail?” Why not replace these statements with positive affirmations? “I have studied enough,” “I know I will pass,” and the best, “I am a success.”
Changing the expectation we have about our performance makes all the difference. Of course, you still have to learn the material. It is possible to know everything you need to know and still not do well on tests. Why? Because your subconscious is telling you that you are not good enough, you don’t deserve to succeed, you have gone as far as you can. Where do these thoughts come from? They come from many different places -- our parents, our siblings, our friends, social media and associates. Do they mean to do us harm, probably not, but the damage has been done anyway.
In hypnotherapy you can explore what your inner voices are saying about your ability to take tests. What are they saying about your potential level of success? If these voices are not what you want them to be, hypnotherapy can help you change them by replacing the negative self-talk with positive self-talk or affirmations.
I have worked with many students from junior high through college as well as professionals who needed to pass boards or certification tests. I have been very successful with improving ACT and SAT scores and I am ready to help you or someone you know today.
