Elisa Di Napoli Fear of Speaking? Hypnosis Is Your CureElisa Di Napoli has been a full time integrative clinical hypnotherapist since 2001, her practice expanding across New Zealand and Scotland. Her work places a great deal of importance on positive mental health, Neurolinguistic Psychology, and Holistic Coaching. She studied hypnotherapy at the prestigious Hypnotherapy Training Institute of Northern California, training with world-renowned teachers Randal Churchill and Ormond McGill. She is among the first practitioners to embrace the innovative discipline of hypnotic coaching. She is a drummer and an accomplished singer-songwriter with 20 years of performance experience and eleven albums under her belt. Her background includes philosophy, art, comparative religion, music performance, and acting.

What hypnosis is

Hypnosis is a natural state of deep relaxation and inner focus that we experience more often than we realize. When we fall asleep when we are engrossed in a movie, when we are involved in long distance running or when we experience a deeply emotional or traumatic event we are in a state of non-guided hypnosis.

Fear of Speaking? Hypnosis Is Your Cure

Elisa uses hypnotherapy to help speakers and performers to beat fear or anxiety. As a singer and performer herself, Elisa found her own cure in hypnosis and now she has a coaching method for anybody. Hypnosis helps you address negative conditioning created by past experiences, and coaching helps you move on and create the life you want in the present.

A good practice is called mental rehearsal. Being relaxed and concentrated, imagine you are doing the real performance with all details: your feelings, senses, your mood, the lights, the audience, etc. The advantage of doing it before a real rehearsal is that it will force you to eliminate negative feelings of failure that will interfere with your performance.
