Fear of tests (testophobia)
A fear of tests can show up before exams, driving tests, job assessments or any time you are being marked. Your mind can go blank just when you need it most, and it can be helped.
What it feels like
- Feeling sick or shaky before a test
- Mind going blank despite plenty of preparation
- Putting off or avoiding tests altogether
Common questions
Is testophobia the same as exam anxiety?
It is very close. Testophobia is a modern word, not a formal diagnosis, and it describes strong fear of being tested. The feelings are real whatever we call them, and they can be eased.
How can you help?
I use hypnotherapy and NLP to change how your mind responds to the thing you fear, so the old alarm stops going off. Sessions are one to one over Zoom, and you get a recording of the hypnosis to listen to afterwards.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients notice a real difference after one 90 minute session. If the fear goes back a long way, three sessions gives us room to make the change stick.
