TAI Session for a Person Who Must Speak in Public but Feels So Stressed He Fear Vomiting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. C. contacted me because, in less than a week, he will have to speak in front of an audience of several hundred people. He enjoys doing this, volunteers to do it, and has been doing it for several years. However, every time, what he fears most in the world occurs: stress causes him to vomit in front of the audience.
\nEven if he doesn\u2019t eat, he still expels bile.
\nThis time, he doesn\u2019t want it to happen again. He is ready to do whatever it takes to handle the situation because it is very important to him.<\/p>\n

Hum!<\/strong>
\nI observe that, in reality, it\u2019s not the stress of speaking in public that causes the vomiting but rather the fear of vomiting in public.
\n\u201cYes, that\u2019s it!\u201d he replies.
\nSo, I investigate to understand what might increase his stress to the point of vomiting on stage.<\/p>\n

I identify that he has expectations regarding different people and fears disappointing them. For one person, he should be blonde, for another, brunette\u2026
\nBut this is not sufficiently activating.<\/p>\n

Then we delve into the meaning of the word vomit<\/em> in French. It can also mean to render.<\/em> Does he have to \u201crender\u201d the text he has learned?
\n\u201cYes, a little, but not to the point of \u2018rendering his meal,\u2019\u201d he tells me, because he knows his text well.<\/p>\n

Then another symbolism of vomiting emerges: before vomiting, one experiences nausea, and in French, one says, j\u2019ai mal au c\u0153ur<\/em> (literally, \u201cI have pain in my heart\u201d).
\nAh! This resonates with him: learning a text by heart and having to deliver it to the right person at the right time.<\/p>\n

I ask him when he first found himself in a situation where he had to deliver a text or express himself in front of others, but had a bad experience that caused him to feel \u201cpain in his heart.\u201d
\nImmediately, he recalls a childhood scene: the first day in a new school, when the teacher pointed out that he hadn\u2019t written his name correctly. He felt humiliated in front of the whole class.<\/p>\n

The second image that comes to him is of himself in the schoolyard, vomiting, and he remembers that from that moment on, every attempt to express himself orally in front of an audience ended in systematic vomiting.<\/p>\n

Okay<\/strong>, we now have two starting scenes to begin the TAI sequences.<\/p>\n

First Scene<\/h3>\n

The meta-questions reveal that the representation is visual: he sees the teacher yelling but doesn\u2019t hear what is being said; he only sees the teacher as an imposing, dominant figure.<\/p>\n

When he connects with this representation:<\/p>\n
