Performance anxiety is caused when the mind makes a faulty connection that a particular situation is a threat, even the thought of being in that situation can cause people great distress. The good news is, it's usually easy to resolve. with hypnosis we can reconnect to the situation to a feeling of being in control and calm, leaving a bit of excitement to give your performance a bit oomph - we don't want a dull and boring performance either.
