Self Sabotage In Exams
Exam Phobia
There is a very different scenario to the teenager who won’t try. It’s the girl/boy who works well throughout the year – but when it comes to sitting down to take an exam fails himself miserably.
The coursework proves that the student has understood the subject and can discuss it with intelligence and insight. And then you have the exam, in which the same student is completely incapable of summoning up any of the facts or of making any sort of argument or coherent discussion.
This phobia is very similar to fear of public speaking.
There is a feeling of such physical terror that the mind goes blank, the mouth becomes dry, a vacuum opens up between your ears, and you become incapable of recognising anything other than the dread in your heart and the terrible fear that accompanies it. Well learned facts and figures fly out of your mind. You can’t remember anyone’s name – let alone their dates. You know you have failed yet again. The despair is overwhelming.
If you have exam phobia you will know that this creates all sorts of problems in other areas.
You don’t feel well – and often have nausea, stomach cramps and perhaps diarrhoea.
The expectation of performing badly means there is not much point in revising.
The dread of the approaching exam interferes with sleep – so you can spend a long time worrying and have difficulty getting to sleep. Then when you do – you have nightmares.
Your energy drains away and you feel too tired to revise.
Your confidence hits rock bottom.
The whole thing is a blight on your life.
If it’s your child going through this – you watch and wish you could do something more to help. Is extra tuition the answer? Would a no – nonsense approach get better results? Should you put the child into a less academic environment?
You watch your child torture himself and you feel angry and impotent.
What is going to happen to the child who may be bright and have academic potential but who cannot compete in the race?
What sort of a life can this child expect?
Is he condemned to work at a level far less than his capabilities?
Luckily there are answers.
There are excellent homeopathic remedies which target this phobia.
Go to an experienced homeopath and they will find the remedy that most closely corresponds to the symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are safe and effective. You will not become addicted and your personality won’t be masked by them.
Go to a Theta Healer to find out why this phobia exists.
I have found that it is usually for the same reasons that are responsible for most of our negative and self limiting thinking.
A belief that:
• I’m not clever enough
• I’m not good enough
• I am unacceptable
• I’m a failure
And so the list goes on.
You may say that yours or your child’s situation is not as bad as has been described and that all this sounds very heavy duty. Of course – I have given the worst case scenario and there are many different levels of experience.
But the responsibility for all these levels of experience lies with the same beliefs – though maybe not as strongly felt.
Of course – most of us do not go around saying that we aren’t good enough, and we don’t think of ourselves as failures. But in the back of the mind there is a little voice which tells us exactly that. We do our best to squash it – but somehow the negativity seeps through and saps our confidence. We start to develope fear of doing whatever we think may challenge us. We only see the fear – because we have hidden what lies under and what is now concealed by the fear. The underlying beliefs are responsible for our phobias – the fear is only the symptom.
Think of the brain as a computer hosting many programmes. Mostly the capacity of this amazing machine is used up by our negative programming – leaving less room for the positive programme circuits.
When you eradicate that negative voice in your head, the fear goes with it, and leaves room on your circuits for the positive thoughts to enter and for confidence and positivity to start influencing your life.

Exam Revision: – Does Facebook feature more prominently than text books?
Exams are looming.
How does your teenager deal with them?
Is revision put off till the last possible moment until fear and panic set in?
Does Facebook feature more prominently than textbooks?
Or does she feel she can’t possibly revise the entire syllabus – doesn’t know where to start – so doesn’t do anything?
Or like one boy I treated – who was so terrified of sitting the exams he couldn’t bring himself to think about it – and that included revision.
Has procrastination becomes a way of life?
One parent told me of the sinking feeling of despair she had when she saw her clever but unmotivated son divide his time between yet another computer game and the TV. She told me how angry and upset she was that she was paying for a first class education so he could get a start in life – and how let down she felt that he was damaging his future by throwing away his opportunities and his potential, and that he hadn’t valued or recognised the effort his parents were making to send him to his school.
In these very common scenarios no amount of cajoling or bribery make any difference and guilt trips only succeed in making them even more stubborn.
It can look like laziness, but in my experience there is no such thing as a lazy child.
What I have seen are children whose attitude and performance are clouded by negative beliefs and low expectations of themselves. There are many who believe that they are not as clever as parents or brothers and sisters – they believe they will never live up to their family’s expectations of them and can’t possibly compete with the family track record. So they decide that they won’t put anything into it, and that will mean that they haven’t failed because they didn’t even try. You can’t fail if you don’t compete in the first place.
Belief: “I am not good enough” lies beneath low expectations and poor performance.
What we are looking at is avoidance rather than laziness:
• Avoidance of failure and humiliation if they try and then fail, or if they try and the results are just mediocre.
• Avoidance of the disappointment of parents and themselves if they decide to try and then perform badly.
• Avoidance of the confirmation that they are not good enough.
Failure and fear of failure are responsible for a lot of negative attitude.
• Avoidance of being thought of as a nerd or a boffin. This one has a lot to do with the school and if it’s judged to be uncool if you’re clever.
You could lose your social status, which would be infinitely worse than failing a few exams.
The fear of being seen as too clever can make a teenager underperform
Then there’s the inability to concentrate – sometimes classified as ADHD. If your teenager comes into this category, there is plenty that can be done to not only help, but to transform the situation. Homeopathic remedies and Theta Healing are both powerful tools.
Ritalin is often prescribed by the medical profession. I personally, do not believe that Ritalin is the answer or even a temporary solution. It does not cure the underlying causes and you end up with a child living under a permanent drug regime.
I have treated teenagers for all these beliefs and problems. Some of them have been very alienated, and in these cases it has taken them longer to get them back on track. But it can be done.
It’s not the studying that’s the problem – it’s the beliefs surrounding the studying.
These can be changed.
The fastest and most effective method I have found is Theta Healing.
On my website www.18.135.123.1. I have an explanation on Theta Healing and how it works. If you click on the page – What clients have said – you will see a message from a mother whose daughter began doing much better in her exams and with her revision after Theta Healing.
