A Life Without Limits
PROGRAM
children | Adults
New Mentality Performance and Test Anxiety Program is designed to help elementary, middle school, high school, college students and adults mentally prepare for any big sporting event, test or presentation.
Performance and Testing anxiety are a combination of physiological over-arousal, tension and somatic symptoms, along with fear of failure, worry and dread that occur before or during competition or testing situations. With our innovative technology, our neurotherapist performs a neurophysiologic stress test, designed to measure heart rate variability, muscle tension, skin conductance and other physiological responses to gather a baseline of how the client’s body responds/reacts under pressure.
Our neurotherapist also performs what’s known as a “brain map” to begin to understand how the individual’s brain is functioning. With the neurophysiologic stress test, qEEG brain mapping information and a combination of other clinical assessments, the team at New Mentality can create a treatment program best suited to assist our client’s in mastering their physiological responses to stress and gaining confidence and control over their anxiety.
How We Can Help
Feeling anxious before an exam, a big presentation, or a championship match is common—and for many people, it’s more than just “butterflies.” Physiologically, the brain shifts into threat mode: heart rate climbs, muscles tense, breaths shorten, and attention narrows to worst‑case outcomes rather than the task at hand. Psychologically, this shows up as racing thoughts (“I’ll fail,” “Everyone will see me mess up”), blanking on rehearsed material, or over‑correcting every tiny mistake. In classrooms, this cycle is called test anxiety; on the field or stage, it’s performance anxiety. Both sap working memory and fine‑motor control at the exact moment precision and calm are needed most.
We help with a range of very powerful tools like targeted mental‑skills training—ranging from breathing drills and imagery to cognitive reframing and neurofeedback along with brain mapping assessments—can break the spiral. These techniques teach the nervous system to ride the adrenaline wave instead of being swamped by it, restoring steady focus, quick recovery after a slip, and confidence that endures beyond a single event. In other words, mastering performance anxiety isn’t just about acing one test or match; it’s about building lifelong resilience whenever the stakes are high.

Tomorrow a Test or Competition?
Research suggests the problem is widespread. Recent studies place moderate‑to‑severe test anxiety at 25 %–40 % of students, with more than half reporting at least some struggle in high‑stakes exams. Among athletes, prevalence studies show significantly higher rates of anxiety and depression than in the general population, driven by relentless competition, public scrutiny, and fear of injury or failure. Left unchecked, this stress not only drags down scores or split‑times but can also lead to chronic burnout, sleep problems, and avoidance of future challenges.
