FAQs

1Why You Need Hypnotherapy For Public Speaking
The anxiety related to speaking in public is considered a fear that is often linked to the act of performing. This fear typically arises when an individual exaggerates the importance of conveying their thoughts in front of an audience, worrying that they may face criticism and risk damaging their reputation and perceived competence. While it is common to experience nerves or unease when being in the spotlight, severe cases of glossophobia, or fear of public speaking, can have detrimental effects on a person's quality of life. Public speaking phobia restricts social interactions and interpersonal opportunities, posing challenges in navigating society and relationships. Although it may not lead to long-term physical health issues, the anxiety symptoms associated with this phobia can diminish an individual's quality of life. This can range from experiencing overall discontentment to developing avoidance behaviors in social settings, potentially impeding one's ability to reach desired professional and personal objectives. It is advisable to adopt a proactive approach in addressing your fear of public speaking.
2How safe is hypnotherapy for public speaking ?
Yes, hypnotherapy is very safe for public speaking. Hypnotherapy creates a safe space where you feel comfortable, calm, and at ease. A 2015 review published in the academic journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine# found there were no adverse effects of hypnotherapy when treating trauma.
3What does a typical session look like ?
Sessions last for 60 minutes. This gives me time to treat both the mind and the body. The first session lasts for 90 minutes. All other sessions are 60 minutes each.) Beginning: Typically, each session begins with a discussion of what’s happened since your last session. This gives us a clear idea of the progress you feel you’ve made and what areas we need to focus on. Middle: You’ll sit back, relax, and listen as you receive hypnotherapy (most clients’ favourite part of the session!). End: Finally, we’ll discuss what actions need to take place between this session and your next to ensure your healing continues.
4How many sessions will I need ?
It’s important to understand everyone has a different set of circumstances. That’s why I tailor each treatment program according to your individual needs. As a general guide, most people develop the tools they need to achieve symptom decrease and gradually overcome anxiety after 3 to 6 sessions
5Can sessions be done online?
Hypnotherapy can be done either online or in person. Both forms are equally effective, so it’s really up to you. I’m located in Caulfield, Vic. Some people prefer online treatment because they don’t have to leave the comfort of their own homes. Others prefer to come in person because they’re more relaxed face-to-face and they don’t have to use video call technology.
