'The reason that people exhibit these tells is because it is a way that they can cope with their emotions, providing a temporary relief from feelings of tension'
Leading behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings is on a mission to educate the nation on how to deal with involuntary physical reactions to feeling nervous, apprehensive, or even excited.
Almost three quarters say they fear their tells held them back from going for new opportunities, making new friends , securing a job or even taking a relationship to the next level . Behavioural Psychologist Hemmings, who has teamed up with PokerStars to reflect on the research, said: “When you feel nervous or anxious, your brain activates the body's stress response, also known as the fight-or-flight response.
This was closely followed by in job interviews , when feeling the centre of attention , when talking to important people at work and when making small talk .But among those who have, one in two had sought help from a professional, either face to face or virtually, a third searched for advice on the internet or friend or family member and just under a quarter looked towards the personal experiences of leading figures such as athletes, entrepreneurs, or politicians .
2. Practice relaxation methods: Learn and practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness exercises to help you stay calm. 7. Keep a steady pace: When under pressure, slow down your movements, speech, and thinking. Rushing can make your tells more pronounced. Take deliberate, measured actions.
