How does EFT help performing artists?
Training and study and talent are all necessary to achieve success in the field of the performing arts, but they can’t take you where you want to go unless you are clear of fears and self-sabotaging thoughts.
Powerful Performance works with special considerations for clients in the performing and creative arts, resolving the issues of:
- Physiological reactivity
- Believing that past failures will be inevitably
repeated
- Feeling uncertain about talents and capabilities
- Fearing rejection or hearing “no”
- Believing that one must perform perfectly
Often
performers struggle with stage fright —that
common anxiety associated with having to perform
in front of others, which can plague performers
with fears of being criticized and of not performing
perfectly. Noted psychiatrist Aaron Beck has
dealt with such issues through his cognitive
behavioral therapy. But increasingly, performing
artists are turning to Emotional
Freedom Technique (EFT) to rid themselves of unnecessary emotional,
physical and neurological blocks to reach their
highest levels of performance. You can read
just a few stories from my years of helping
performers make their artistic careers come
alive.
The most impressive thing I noticed was how quietly
everyone was watching your demonstrations with
volunteers from the audience. You had our full
attention!
