Overcome Test Anxiety

Free yourself from test anxiety by learning powerful techniques.

• Increase focus

• Increase confidence

• Increase concentration

• Increase memory recall
There are many ways to help you overcome test anxiety. 

We can help you change self-defeating, worrisome thoughts into more positive, encouraging thoughts.  Because of the mind and body connection, when you change your thinking, your emotions improve, enabling you to feel more optimistic, energized, and mentally focused.

Anxiety has also been known as FEAR, Fantasized Experiences Appearing Real.  Changing your "fantasized experiences," distressing images, worst case scenarios, and other negative thoughts can reduce feelings of anxiety.


3 Techniques to Increase Test Taking Success
1. Cognitive training to reduce negative self-talk, limiting beliefs, and excessive worry, and
increase positive self-talk, reassuring beliefs and boost confidence.

2. Relaxation training to recondition the mind and body from a physiological state of anxiety
to a state of relaxation and comfort.

3. Hypnotherapy and NLP to uncover the unconscious cause of anxiety and reprogram the
mind.

You can learn a combination of any of these life changing techniques, and there are several other methods available.

2 Essential Factors to Overcome Test Anxiety
1.  Use your imagination to boost your confidence.  Working with a trained professional who
understands the mind body connection will enable you to obtain mastery over your emotions. If
you have been using your imagination to create worry and project negative outcomes, you can
retrain your mind and body using your imagination to reduce or eliminate anxiety. 

2.  Decrease anticipatory anxiety.  Anticipatory anxiety is the anxiety you feel before taking
an exam.  Reducing this anxiety will improve your ability to study and prepare for the exam, as
well as improve your quality of sleep. 

As a result, on the day of the test you will have already achieved the ability to calm your mind and body so you will be able to complete the test with greater ease.


Benefits of mastering these life changing skills:

•  Increase concentration

•  Increase retention and recall of information

•  Increase emotional freedom

•  Decrease performance anxiety

•  Increase creative and analytical thinking

•  Increase confidence


"I had been preparing to take the bar exam.  The stress of law school, the competition, it all got to me. I was comparing myself to other people who passed the exam and thought if they can do it
and I can't that will mean I'm a failure. 

Kiomi helped me realize I didn't need to be so hard on myself.  And it's not just test taking, it was all areas of my life.  I had to be perfect, excel, look good, be better than everyone else.  It was a huge burden off my shoulders when I realized my self-worth is NOT dependent on a test or what others think of me.  I am happier and more successful than ever which seems ironic in a way.  Easing up on the pressure allowed my natural abilities to come out. 

I passed the bar exam!  It was truly remarkable how relaxed and confident I was during the exam.  I had several interviews with my top pick law firms which prior to working with Kiomi would have made me a nervous wreck.  Being a lawyer is a stressful job, pressures to perform are always there but I feel more confident than ever.
