Stop Performance Anxiety

Easy Self Help Techniques For Overcoming Performance Anxiety!

Performance anxiety is an insidious disorder that prevents thousands of people from having the success they deserve and living the fullest life possible.

"Fear stops more people than anything else in the world."

The above quote is by the famous Ralph Waldo Emerson and his statement is as true today as it was when he uttered it. Performance anxiety in particular is one of the greatest stopping forces and is a source of massive frustration, upset, and discomfort for an increasing number of people worldwide.

• Aren't you tired of being held back by your fears and anxieties?
  
  
• Wouldn't you love to experience a life without this kind or level of fear?

Well I have good news for you.

There is a way to free yourself from most anxieties relatively quickly and easily. And there is a good chance you can do much or all of it yourself, with the right guidance. +

New techniques may be the answer.

In particular, I want to tell you about one new technique that is often capable of reducing anxiety forever - and frequently does so in a matter of minutes. This technique is called Emotional Freedom Techniques - or EFT - and it is based on a discovery so radical and so revolutionary that an entirely new branch of psychology has been set up to study it and several similar techniques. Every year hundreds of helping professionals get together at conferences to compare the results of their cutting-edge research. I am one of those people and I'd like to take this opportunity to share with you some of the things I have found in the last 8 years of studying and applying these techniques.

Who am I?

My name is Steve Wells. I am a psychologist based in Perth, Western Australia. I conducted a controlled scientific study on EFT shortly after I found out about this wonderful new technique - I wanted to be sure that the approach would stand up to scientific scrutiny. Well it did so with flying colours and we were astounded to find this "psychological acupressure" technique, a straightforward procedure involving simply tapping on acupressure points whilst you focus on your problem or issue, was capable of removing even life-long phobias in as short as a 30-minute treatment session! The name of the technique is Emotional Freedom Techniques, and for the people who participated in our research it did just that, providing them the freedom that they had wished for all those years.

We followed up the participants in our study 6-9 months later and were elated to find that the behavioural changes we'd seen in the laboratory 6-9 months previously had been maintained - and all this just from 30 minutes of tapping on certain sequences of acupressure points! If you are interested you can read about our research study in the September 2003 edition of the prestigious Journal of Clinical Psychology.

What else can EFT do?

My friend, Dr. David Lake, a medical practitioner from Australia had a public speaking anxiety so severe he couldn't give a talk to even 6 people without feeling overwhelmed. One simple 38-minute treatment session with Gary Craig, the creator of EFT and he was immediately able to give a polished presentation to 75 people in a packed seminar room. Since that time he has given dozens of presentations to both professional and lay people alike, always without a single shred of the anxiety that had plagued him for many years.

There are hundreds of examples like his, all testifying to the power of this new technique to remove the emotional blocks that have held anxiety sufferers back and allow them to get on with their life without the stress and worry that has been their daily companion. While some people need more treatment than others, the reality we have found is that the technique radically reduces the length and difficulty of that treating process.

After 6 years of studying the EFT technique and using it with clients with all sorts of anxiety problems, Dr Lake and I decided to put together a guide to make this wonderful technique accessible to anyone who wants to change their life and gain freedom from performance anxiety.

The Pocket Guide

We called our book Pocket Guide to Emotional Freedom as it is an accessible guide you can carry with you to consult as needed. It will teach you all you need to know to get started in using this very simple, user-friendly self-help technique - and start to get results. Most people could read the book - and get started using EFT - in under an hour.

And once you start using EFT you can judge the results for yourself - Most people notice results within the first few minutes of using EFT! Yes, its true that some more complex problems will take a little more persistence and application to gain complete relief, but you'll find that the extra time taken on those issues and problems will pay off many times over when you experience the freedom that comes from overcoming your anxiety.

It's also important I say right now that if you have a very complex and severe problem which doesn't respond to self-help, you may need to consider working with a skilled therapist. However, its also important to acknowledge that just because a problem is very intense or just because you have had it for a long time doesn't necessarily mean it is complex or severe. Often the best way to tell if EFT will help you is simply to try it. It's simple to learn and use, most people find it relaxes them, and there have been extremely few reports of anyone having a negative experience from using it. (Although I did have one client who tapped so heavily on the EFT points he gave himself a headache, and I've also read cases where some clients with severe psychiatric disorders had problems using the technique. However, in my experience most people with "regular" human problems (and performance anxiety certainly fits that definition for the vast majority of people) can learn to use EFT to help themselves - and many do very well with it.

It's our hope that not only will you gain freedom from your own performance anxiety with the guidance of the simple instructions in the Pocket Guide, but you will also share it - and EFT - with others who wish to gain freedom from their own anxiety problems. We're proud to say that many therapists from all over the world purchase multiple copies of the Pocket Guide to hand out to their clients and workshop participants.

The details on how to order the Pocket Guide are below - Since we live in Australia the prices are in Australian dollars but please do bear in mind that our dollar is worth significantly less than the US dollar or the Euro, so the actual price in your currency is likely to be much less than it looks here! If you'd like to check the exact amount on the day of purchase, we provide on the order form a link to a universal currency converter.

All the best for a life of increasing freedom,

Steve Wells
Registered Psychologist, Western Australia

PS: EFT has changed my life. I have used this simple technique very extensively with myself, my wife uses it and we have used it with every one of our 3 children to help them to overcome their anxieties and fears. I highly recommend you look into it - and our little book is one of the easiest ways to get started. See below for ordering details.

Still Unsure?

If you would like to know more about EFT you can read the many articles on this site and satisfy yourself regarding the legitimacy of the technique and claims made. You should also see the Practitioners and Resources Section where we have links to other internet resources, including information on research that has been conducted on these techniques.

+ Disclaimer

While EFT has produced excellent clinical results and is gaining in scientific support it is not yet widely accepted as a formally validated scientific technique and thus must be considered experimental in nature with no guaranteed outcome in any individual. Both practitioners and members of the general public must therefore take complete responsibility for their own use of EFT.

EFT is not a therapy in itself and all of the descriptions of treatment and advice on this website that refer to self-help are not meant to imply that everyone will benefit in that way. A lack of result or progress may mean you need professional assistance.

Adverse effects are extremely rare, and, if any emotional intensity occurs in treatment, it is often the manifestation of a previous or underlying problem. If you consider that you have long-standing or severe problems you should consider treatment with a qualified therapist. A listing of professional therapists is provided in the practitioners and resources section.
