Re: EMDR and Stage Fright

I have recently successfully completed EMDR treatment with a 17 year old violinist who had a severe performance anxiety problem. EMDR was extremely successful in desensitizing the stimuli associated with the anxiety, as well as uncovering the deeper underpinnings of the problem,which related to unrealistic self-expectations, fear of disappointing others, perfectionism, etc. She is now not only performing with no anxiety, she is actually for the first time enjoying playing before an audience. By all means, give EMDR a try!
