Are you struggling with performance anxiety that hinders your ability to showcase your true talents? Do feelings of nervousness and fear overwhelm you before a performance, presentation, or important event? Have you tried various methods to overcome these feelings but still find yourself battling anxiety?
Restorative Psychological Services is dedicated to helping individuals like you overcome performance anxiety through specialized therapy. We understand the unique pressures associated with performance and provide a supportive environment to address and manage your anxiety.
Performance anxiety, often known as stage fright, can affect various aspects of life, from public speaking and artistic performances to sports and professional responsibilities.
Common symptoms of performance anxiety include:
- Excessive nervousness or trembling before or during a performance
- Racing heart, sweating, or other physical signs of anxiety
- Negative self-talk and fear of failure or judgment
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering during performance
- Avoidance of performance situations due to fear
- Feeling out of control or detached from the situation
- Gastrointestinal distress or feeling physically unwell before performing
- Loss of enjoyment in activities that were once pleasurable
In Performance Anxiety Therapy, we focus on understanding the root causes of your anxiety and developing strategies to manage it effectively. Techniques may include cognitive-behavioral therapy to challenge and change negative thought patterns, relaxation and mindfulness exercises to reduce physical symptoms, and practical skills for effective performance preparation.
