Public Speaking / Performance Anxiety

Dr. Dyan has worked extensively with individuals at all levels of success and from many different walks of life, professions, and cultures, in helping them with anxieties about public speaking or performing.

Have your fears and discomforts about performing or public speaking manifested with the following?

Turning red and flushing
Muscle tension

Tunnel vision

Cognitive symptoms:

Forgetting key points or words
Stuttering,
Shakey voice
Tripping over your words
Talking really fast
Lots of filler words like “um…”

Emotional symptoms:

Feeling afraid
Self-critical and sure you will fail
Feeling panicky
Feeling helpless
Disappointed in yourself
Frustrated

These types of anxieties can affect actors, directors, students, and even CEO’s. Dr. Dyan has found that by helping individuals to understand the origins of their discomfort, and how the body and mind are communicating, individuals can feel more in control and empowered.

These forms of anxiety symptoms are frequently manifestations of the fight, flight, or freeze response. In her individual sessions with clients, Dr. Dyan often uses her training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® (SEP) to help clients calm their nervous systems and to develop tools to remain at ease and feeling in control.

She has observed that individuals with these types of anxieties seem to respond very well and very quickly to hypnosis for performance enhancement and hypnotherapy for public speaking anxiety. By focusing their attention in certain ways, people can generally redirect the symptoms mentioned above to transform them and then their problems often resolve quickly.

Dr. Dyan loves helping people to learn to use self-hypnosis for anxiety and specializes in teaching people self-hypnosis techniques that they can use on their own for the following:

Self-hypnosis for fear of public speaking
Self-hypnosis for performance anxiety
Self-hypnosis for athletic performance
Self-hypnosis for sports performance anxiety
Self-hypnosis for music performance anxiety
Self-hypnosis for presentations
Self-hypnosis for pitches
And more…

When people set a goal to use self-hypnosis for relaxation or to alleviate anxiety, they can easily learn to use self-hypnosis strategies as part of their daily routine.
