Act as a practical specialist helping me with coaching yourself through performance anxiety before a show. My context: [current setup, goals, constraints].
1. Ask me what is really going on
2. Challenge one unhelpful belief
3. Help me choose one brave action
4. Close with a short encouraging reminder
Use my details, not a generic example. If a fact needed for the plan is missing, ask for it or mark the assumption. Keep the result ready to use.
