End Test Anxiety

How you can let go of the anxiety and be your best on the test

Do you get really stressed before you take a test? Does the stress affect your performance? If you're like a lot of people, the answer to both questions is yes. It's a real problem. Fortunately, it's one you can solve.


How can this work for you?

THE PROBLEM: Logically you know it's just a test. You know that it's not the end of the world if you don't score perfectly. Consciously...rationally...intellectually... you know you've studied and you should feel fine. But you don't. There's a part of your mind that sends a very powerful anxiety signal. Your heart races. Your stomach clenches. You're terrified.


THE SOLUTION: To use hypnosis to work directly with the part of your mind that's sending that anxiety signal. So you have the chance bring help to directly to that subconscious/emotional part of your mind  the part that doesn't care about all those reasons why you should feel fine. So you have the chance to genuinely SOLVE the problem where it's happening rather than just talking about it or learning techniques to manage it.


Is all the work done through hypnosis?

Oftentimes, but not always. There are a number of ways you might be "doing" your test anxiety and you may need a combination of approaches to get things solved completely. All the work is tailored to you as an individual, so that no matter how you're doing it, we can use the right combination of approaches to get your problem solved successfully.


How many sessions does it take?

I can't say how long it would take to resolve your fear. You may work slowly, you may work quickly. Some problems are straightforward, some are complicated. Most people fall somewhere between two and ten sessions.


How much does it cost?

Your work would be priced on a flat-fee-for-successful-outcome basis. So regardless of how much help you might need, you'd pay one fee knowing you have all the time you need to get the problem - as defined by you and as judged by you at the end of the work - solved completely. Fees vary by client and the specifics of their issue. If you'd like a quote, just give me a call and I can give you one after I learn about your situation.


Is it guaranteed?

All test anxiety work is guaranteed with a half-back refund if the work isn't successful. Assuming, like most clients, that you're successful, it's also guaranteed if you have a problem down the road. Issue recurrence is rare, but if it ever did happen, you'd just give a call, and we'd get together to resolve whatever had come up, no extra charge.


Does it work for everyone?

The vast majority of clients I've actually worked with on their test anxiety have solved their problem. It's been more work for some than others, and many have resolved other issues in the process. There are people who it's not a good fit for though. Fortunately, I'm able to screen most of those people before they spend time or money getting started.
