exam stress & motivation

 Exam stress is affecting much younger children these days.  Traditionally it was common to see teenagers about to sit GCSEs or A levels, or adults who needed to sit an exam for work.  In addition it now seems to start around Year 6 SATs.  This can have a huge impact going forwards for a child who develops a fear of exams.  In Secondary School exams are a regular occurrence and are often sat in proper exam conditions.  This is very stressful for a child who has developed a fear around this issue and can have a profound impact on school attendance.

Similarly, stress and anxiety around Peak Performance can stop us being able to achieve our goals if we have unhelpful subconscious patterns running silently sabotaging us.  Darts champion Scott Mitchell insisted life-changing hypnotherapy enhanced his performance and changed his belief that even after missing chances he would get that next dart.  This difference in his subconscious beliefs meant he didn't give up when he missed a dart and won him his maiden World Crown.

Public speaking fears work in a similar way.  Subconscious patterns of behaviour getting in the way of being able to deliver a speech.  Whether it be that Best Man's Speech that many dread or an important Pitch for an important client, hypnotherapy and tapping can help you become the person you want to be.
