Performance Anxiety Treatment
How effective are the current psychological techniques in the treatment of anxiety?
Has your anxiety been cured by CBT, psychotherapy or NLP? Just to tell something about my problem – I found that I can’t really relax entirely in front of people, especially strangers and that whenever I am expected to perform in front of an audience, an enormous sense of anxiety seems to grow inside and consume me and this naturally has an impact upon my performance. My brain doesn’t seem to be able to function at all when stressed. I lose the ability of language, memory, reason, etc.
I assume that these techniques are fairly effective because they appear to be endorsed by medical professionals and yet I can’t help being skeptical about the abilities and qualifications of the counsellors who practice them, having had a poor experience with a well known hypnotherapist. The only change I noticed was a lighter wallet and several hours out of my life wasted on the drivel he was pouring out. It is quite easy to make money out of the desperate.
Sounds like you have a mild case of social anxiety. Anxiety is actually THE group of disorders that therapy is best at treating. On the downside, social anxiety is harder to treat than other anxieties. It seems to have more of a physiological component than other anxiety disorders. While having a good therapist certainly helps, a lot of this will be up to you; it will be very difficult, but the more willing you are to engage in the therapy and related exercises, the better your outcome will be.
Here’s what you do: find a psychologist (person with Ph.D in psychology or a Psy.D.) who can do CBT. While others can do therapy, psychologists are by far the most highly trained in therapy. You may also wish to see a psychiatrist (M.D.) to get on an anti-anxiety med. Studies consistently show that the combo of meds and therapy work better than either by itself.
Good Luck!
