About The Stage Fright Cure
We can cure stage fright? Yes.
What most people commonly show you is how to manage performance nerves, not cure them. But Marti MacEwan, MA, has a new approach so you can be truly free of your stage fright, performance anxiety or fear of public speaking in any setting. A real cure would have to make a lasting change, not just be a band-aid for the moment. With The Stage Fright Cure, you can be free!
Marti has had huge success with hundreds of clients and class participants when she approaches this common problem from both a psychological and physiological perspective. Any cure for stage fright has to eliminate that inner sense of “perceived emotional threat” that very often is completely unconscious until we are confronted with an actual situation. But, there is a way to eliminate that sense of perceived threat and therefore eliminate the “fight, flight or freeze” response that surfaces in performance situations.
Marti’s approach is a unique mind/body method that includes the original Rapid Relief Process(tm), a comprehensive set of mind/body “exercises” she co-developed with her colleague, Stephanie Eldringhoff, MA, LMFT, also a therapist. The Rapid Relief Process is the element of the Stage Fright Cure that literally dismantles the fear response.
What is stage fright?
By Marti’s definition is: “the fear that surfaces at the prospect of offering something for someone else’s consideration or enjoyment”. Each person’s experience of stage fright is unique. Marti says, “fear or anxiety in any setting is impeded energy. The opposite, comfort and confidence, is unimpeded energy.”
For you, “impeded energy” may surface in front of an audience of one, or a few, or thousands. There may be a formal stage involved or not. It might be in the business world, the professions, the arts, sales, education or personal situations. You may experience a pounding heart, trembling, cold clammy hands and feet, nausea, or difficulty in concentrating or responding to your surroundings. Each person is different.
What causes stage fright?
The underlying cause is that for some reason, your conscious or unconscious system perceives the situation you are in as an emotional threat. That triggers that “impeded energy” in your physical system. To truly eliminate performance anxiety, you have to discover and eliminate the personal inner threat that is causing your reaction. Marti knows the specific techniques to do that and move you from “impeded energy to “unimpeded energy”, even under the same circumstances.
This is the main difference between other methods and Marti’s. With Marti’s Stage Fright Cure, you will eliminate those uncomfortable physical sensations, the fight, flight or freeze symptoms. Those symptoms are triggered from the inside – from your unique psychology, personal history and unique fear response.
The only reason you would say you have stage fright is that you experience those symptoms, right? When we calm the negative adrenaline response caused by the inner connections you have with the situation, your physical symptoms will calm down, too, and you would no longer say you had stage fright.
What’s so different about this approach?
Most approaches just teach you a variety of techniques to manage your stage fright at best. This approach teaches you how to cure your stage fright by actually eliminating the mind-body perceptual link that is producing your fear response in the first place.
This is not just a set of superficial suggestions, positive thinking, hypnosis or “mind over matter”. This is a way to free your system of those stage fright symptoms altogether. Without those nerves firing off in your body, you can be comfortable. Once you are comfortable, you can relax into your purpose and experience the true pleasure of freely presenting whatever you have to offer. When you are comfortable, you can find that easy confidence whenever you are doing anything when you are the center of attention.
Marti knows the true underlying cause and she knows the cure. In her Stage Fright Cure book and coaching, she will show you how you can honestly say, “I used to have stage fright, but I don’t anymore!”
What comes with The Stage Fright Cure book?
This is more than a book. It’s a book-video combination package. The Stage Fright Cure is more of a program: as though you are being led through a workshop. In the book, Marti coaches you step-by-step through a process of new understandings and personal insights, but more importantly, the concrete techniques that will help you eliminate your stage fright.
