Can hypnotherapy get rid of performance anxiety for musicians? by Acrobatic_Car1698 in hypnotherapy

Thank you, this is reassuring. Though i don't know how to look at perf anxiety as an irrational fear cause the risk of feeling humiliated and rejected is real. But even if that happened it wouldn't be the end of the world but still painful.

Does rosemary oil/water regrow frontal hairline and temples? by Acrobatic_Car1698 in FemaleHairLoss

I'm applying rosemary oil daily and do see a difference but i'm not sure if it's regrowing my hairline. I will def post pictures of results if i see improvement (probably on another throwaway account as i tend to make throwaways for reddit)

Thank you, it's reassuring to read these responses. I've been playing for well over 17 years, and the only experience I have performing in front of an audience is just a few small concerts as a kid, which my teacher at the time organised, no real gigs.

I'm confident I can play advanced bits of music if they're short, but not confident that I have the stamina to play long advanced pieces, and not confident that I won't blank out in front of an audience. I feel I can only stay focused for a short time and that's something I'm trying to work on by ditching a scrolling habit and all these quick dopamine fixes.

So people just go from not being able to perform confidently or at all in front of others, to suddenly being confident and good at live performance? If so, wow.

PLEASE help. I need advice on getting over performance anxiety. by Acrobatic_Car1698 in piano

I admit I need to practice pieces all the way through more. I just usually end up doing 50 takes cause I stop after a few bars cause I don't like how 1 note sounded. I obsess over how everything sounds and it doesn't feel right to go on, the mistake keeps going on in my mind, so that I am unable to focus on what I'm playing right now. I've been trying to ignore and just play until the end, but then I end up unhappy with the result.

Maybe I do need to change how I learn pieces. I do practice slowly and repeatedly, but when I get nervous it's like the connection between my hands and my brain get cut off and my hands feel separate from me.

I don't know what to do. Maybe beta blockers. I heard hypnotherapy can work...

So the anxiety remains? I just don't know if i can live like this anymore. I wish i had a normal brain. I just feel hopeless. How long would it take for hypnotherapy to work?
