Therapy: Test-Taking Anxiety

Do you panic when taking a test and feel that you underperform? There are some effective techniques that can help if you…

• Reread questions
• Stare at the page because your mind goes blank
• Can't remember the material even though you know it
• Think about something other than the test
• Tell yourself you can't succeed
• Compare yourself to other students
• Feel anxious and unfocused

I can help you learn how to stay calm and focused while taking tests. I combine guided relaxation and mental rehearsing to help you practice taking tests in a relaxed manner. It is possible to remember the material under pressure and get the score that you deserve.

These techniques are also useful for any number of situations that are anxiety provoking.
