Testing and exam anxiety is real and on the rise. Anxiety can hold a great student back. A recent study found 30% of college students are having exam anxiety. Which impacts their success. In 1995 the total of students with exam anxiety was 15%. Anxiety symptoms are rapid heart rate, sweating, dry mouth, fainting, and nausea. Emotional symptoms of exam anxiety can be depression, low self-esteem, anger, and feelings of hopelessness and inadequacy. These symptoms can cause the student to go blank while taking exams. Then poor grades will increase their anxiety.
Why Has Anxiety Increased for Today’s College Students?
The data is staggering: Nearly a third of all college students have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, the number of reported cases of student anxiety has increased by 50 percent over the past eight years, and counseling centers are facing unprecedented demand. The sense of crisis is unmistakable. The rising cost of education places additional stress on students and their families. Youth are being pushed to their limits as early as elementary school. As a result, their mental health and well-being are suffering. Students experiencing Exam anxiety may think there is nothing that can assist them, but there are a variety of treatment options out there.
Hypnotherapy Helps Testing Anxiety
There are large differences between individual students; there are some who never become anxious or become moderately anxious, while others become highly anxious. Highly exam-anxious students perform worse than their low-anxious peers. There is also a link between exam anxiety lower well-being and poor mental health. It can develop into more serious forms of anxiety such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder or Panic Disorder (panic attacks accompanied by intense feelings of unease) and Social Anxiety Disorder (intense fear of social activities, speaking to people, and feeling like one is being judged all the time). One of the best options for long-term success can be Hypnotherapy. It will allow the student to learn techniques to manage other types of anxiety as well as exam anxiety. Hypnosis will assist students in replacing the negative emotions and thoughts surrounding exams with positive feelings and ideas so they can learn to control their anxiety and be as successful as possible.
How Will I Feel During Hypnotherapy?
Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis conditions people to be in control of their state of awareness so they can alter their physiological responses to stimuli. During a hypnotherapy session, a therapist will first assist a patient in achieving a hypnotic state, verbally offer imagery and strategies to help cope with undesirable issues, and finally, reinforce it all through repetition. You will not be asleep but rather allow your subconscious mind to take over. Gentle suggestions will be given to access the triggers for stress, anxiety, and doubts. You will with the therapist address your triggers, allowing you to take your life back.
Try Hypnotherapy and look forward to a great College career. It also works great for employees who need ongoing education and certifications.
