Research Note: Alleviation of Performance Anxiety through Hypnotherapy

Many musicians experience stage fright. The present article describes a two-session hypnotherapeutic approach combining success imagery and Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET) which is designed to reduce musicians' performance anxiety and so alleviate this problem. Three case studies illustrate how the approach is employed. The first involves a member of a symphony orchestra, the second a final year music student, and the third a rock band guitarist.
