Well, zillybug, it sounds like the use of hypnosis/therapy for performance anxiety would be (already is) a very good fit for you. I'm glad to hear that you've taken advantage of recent opportunities to play for others, and that you're becoming more comfortable with it even if it's not a favorite activity. I say keep hammering away at that performance anxiety, using all the tools and methodologies at your disposal.

After having my own anxiety about playing and then being trained thoroughly by the Milton H. Erickson, M.D. Institute in therapeutic and medical hypnosis, I definitely discovered it is highly beneficial and helpful. I even made an audio file available to musicians to help them. It's broadly made so that it can be used to address a number of musical growth goals or challenges.
