Psychological help and counselling
If your jitters are more serious and long term, therapy or cognitive behavioural therapy[1] may help discover the reasons, put things into perspective and suggest long-term coping strategies.
If your fears relate back to long-standing difficult psychological events, it will help to identify and work through these with a suitable psychotherapist.
If your performance fears include panic attacks, social anxiety or phobias, or you have a wide-ranging tendency to perfectionism, work through these issues with a suitable psychotherapist.
If your fears are based on shaky or inadequate technique, book yourself some time with a trusted teacher or expert in your field.[2]
· Expect and accept it – understand what may happen and tell yourself that you are in control of you. Own it. Don’t challenge, ignore, try and hide, just face it.
