Performance Anxiety: This is a common problem and millions of people use a safe drug known as Propranolol to allow them to perform when they are unable to perform. This medication is not addictive nor is it a sedative. You are not in any way unusual.

VRT for Phobias: Phobias and anxieties respond well to Virtual Reality Therapy(VRT). VRT is exposure therapy in a safe environment. The research suggests VRT is 90% effective. Seek out a therapist who uses VRT in your area. You can find providers through www.psious.com, www.limbix.com, or www.virtuallybetter.com.
