Anxiety and performance fear

If you are constant at watch for your fellow human beings and in a constant internal inner dialogue, about what you imagine the others are thinking about you, and if what you are doing is acceptable, you probably suffer from anxiety or performance fear.

The perfectionist

I often meet perfectionists with performance fear

I have a number of clients with the above problems. Shared for them there is a well-developed perfectionism, which permeates all they do. All is measured and weighed, the surroundings inner thoughts are tried de-coded and everything is compared with "the others"

The vigilant

never is calm

Why this watchfulness? Because the person with performance fear basically is a wounded child, always at watch against displaying his vulnerability just a split second. This could result in for the performance-fearing person, catastrophic situation that he was for a moment seen in a human light. Nothing must look as that really does, but has to be harmonized to fit the persons inner mental perfect vision of himself.

A impossible project

is to find one's interior in the outside..

A person, who suffers from anxiety - performance fear finds himself within an impossible pjoject, measuring his inner worth by what he does and not by what he already is. Thus not said that it isn't important that we human beings challenge ourselves and develop our potential, but it´s important that we do not forget who we already are - exceptional individuals, who´s deep essence cannot be bent.

Treatment of performance fear

- about my experiences with hypnotherapy and NLP

The main project is to move from external to inner control through teaching yourself to know yourself. Part of the work could be:

• Healing of the wounded inner child, regreding back to core-experiences. Here some NLPs techniques may be helpful.
• Sensitivity training. Neurosis is basicly tension of the body. By learning to be less tense in the involved situation, the person with fear can take the control back.
