Social Anxiety, Test Anxiety and Hypnotherapy

As the school year comes to a close, there are usually lots of fun things to do.  Senior prom, graduation parties, grad night, and summer plans to name a few. Sounds like fun, right?  Yes, if you are comfortable in a social setting and enjoy being with others. What if you are not? What if the thought of asking someone to prom is terrifying?  What if parties are scary and not fun at all? 

Hypnotherapy can help with social anxiety. We can come up with alternatives to being anxious. There are tools that I can give you to make interacting with others less scary.

This is also a good time to review your or your child’s performance on tests.  Do your grades reflect your knowledge or is there a disconnect between how much you know and your test scores?  Maybe there is something blocking you from performing as well as you could. Hypnotherapy can help. Sometimes, we have a set idea about how well we can do on tests and that is our upper limit.  In hypnosis, we can change the ideas in your subconscious about how well you can perform. I worked with a high school student failing math. He knew the material but when it came to the tests, he could not reproduce the results needed.  He had a test the next day in math. In hypnosis, I asked him to visualize getting the test back with a passing score on it. After hypnosis, I asked him what score he visualized – it was 87%. He took the test the next day and received an 87%!  He passed the class. Another high school senior I worked with improved her ACT score by several points, enabling her to get into the college of her choice. You may be surprised at your results!

Hypnotherapy can be a great tool for helping you make changes and improve your life.  If you would like to talk, please give me a call at 818-929-4944 today!
