Full hypnosis download Be a confident teacher

I remember working with one particular ‘new’ teacher. She was terrified of the classroom. Typically, she was a very conscientious soul. She even described herself to me as a perfectionist but despite – or perhaps because of – this, she told me she wasn’t at all confident as a teacher and felt like an impostor; she was sure she would one day be ‘found out’.

When I had worked with her hypnotically over a few sessions, she began to forget about herself almost entirely in classroom teaching situations and become totally focused on the material she was teaching. This new-found classroom confidence also transmitted to her students, who started to enjoy her lessons more.

On overcoming teaching anxiety

As part of the Be a confident teacher session for hypnosisdownloads.com I have put together a process that not only helps teachers (or student teachers) relax in the classroom but also encourages a sense of being a channel, a conduit for teaching. We can compare this feeling to that of being the unwanted centre of attention. Great teachers aren’t too concerned with being liked or not – they are more focused on engaging their students, and even inspiring them. The writer William Arthur Ward once said, “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

I think some under-confident teachers feel that they have to appear ‘infallible’, or perfect. But of course effective teachers can show they are human, that sometimes they forget things, or mispronounce something, or become inspired and suddenly have a new understanding. All these are part of what it is to be human. And it is when people really relax with their own humanity that they can begin to become truly confident as teachers.

I’m hoping the confident teacher session is going to help lots of teachers and their students.

All the best
