Examinations and tests Prepare yourself for forthcoming examinations and tests through the use of hypnosis. Some people find the very idea of tests unnerving. The accompanying excess tension they experience can actually impede their performance. Perfectly able drivers can go to pieces in their driving test. In written exams, knowledgeable students sometimes find their mind goes blank. They know the answer..it just seems impossible to write it down in that environment. Hypnosis is extremely effective for freeing people from excessive tension, so allowing them to perform more ably. It is normal, even useful to feel some nervous excitement around the time of tests and exams since this allows us to give that little bit extra in our performances. However, excessive nerves are unhelpful. Using hypnosis to relax the very important physical self gives us a break from unnecessary concerns about the forthcoming test. Running through arriving at the test centre, doing the exam, etc., in imaginative rehearsal whilst retaining calmness and relaxation allows us to begin to perceive of the exam differently. If we can allow a change in our perceptions this frees up the way for a behavioural change. If possible, its useful to have a couple of hypnosis sessions before a test. I make tapes for people so they can continue to prepare for the event on their own. |
