Anchoring
Attaching a calm, resourceful state to a physical cue you can use in the moment you need it.
A composed, present state is conditioned to a cue used just before you begin.
Hypnotherapy for fear of public speaking — being able to think while people are looking at you.

We resolve the threat reading and build a state you can drop into in the moments before you stand up.

Sessions are held online over Zoom, run 45–90 minutes, and are billed at a flat $200. Your first session includes an additional 30-minute intake interview at no charge.
