Exams -
... don't you just love 'em?
Why on earth should anyone be anxious about exams? Surely it is an opportunity to show someone how brilliant you are! If you have done the work, you should have nothing to worry about. However, it is not as simple as that, I am sure you will agree.
Your degree of anxiety might depend upon the importance that you place on doing well. If you are sitting an exam the result of which will not make a jot of difference to your life or career, you would not feel any pressure. The impending poor grade is not sufficient to get you even mildly worried. If, however, your next exam decides which university you get in to or which job you get, the thought of failing might send you into a tailspin of terror.
There is a situation when nerves are totally justified - when you have not done the required work and have not prepared thoroughly enough. Here you are trusting far too much to luck. Will the questions be on the material I vaguely know? Will I be able to write anything at all? This situation is so easy to avoid.
What the Hypnosis downloads on this site tackle is the time when you have done all the work and you have prepared thoroughly, but still feel anxious, afraid or even terrified. The fear is inappropriate and will stifle your performance on exam day.
The fear of exams is triggered by the memory of a negative experience. All fears (except the fear of sudden loud noises and the fear of falling which are built-in at birth) have to be learnt. In most cases the learning will have happened so long ago that you cannot consciously remember the event. Nonetheless, just the thought of an exam is enough to trigger the classic 'fight or flight' response: adrenaline rush, sweaty palms, shallow breathing, racing heartbeat... all very un-helpful symptoms and all totally inappropriate and illogical.
The hypnosis download re-programs your unconscious belief so that you remain calm, cool and collected in your next exam. The visualization download helps make all your knowledge easily available on the day. No more frustration trying to remember stuff - it will all come to mind much more easily.
