Is your fear of public speaking taking over your life?
Having a fear of public speaking can be very frustrating. You can find yourself going to extreme lengths just to avoid having to talk in public and this often means avoiding social situations and
choosing education and training courses and even careers that don't involve giving formal talks or making presentations.
Spot the signs
- Constantly worrying about an up coming talk or presentation.
- Unable to enjoy social occassions without the nagging worry that you 'might' have to give an impromptu talk or even have to introduce yourself in a formal setting.
- Unable to get your physical reactions to public speaking under control. These often include, shaking uncontrollably, a nervous uneven voice, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, dry mouth, or butterflies in your stomach.
- Over-thinking what could go wrong or caught in a continual thought loop.
- This fear is holding you back or stopping you from progressing your career.
- Annoyed with yourself because you seem to change from a fully functioning confident adult into a quivering wreck, and it's just not you.
How does this fear start?
Sometimes there is a trigger incident, but often there is no specific cause or event that you can remember and this uncomfortable feeling just grows over time. One certainty is that taking control of
this fear is outside of our conscious awareness and no amount of logical thinking or "giving yourself a good talking to" seems to help.
There is a simple solution
Imagine being able to talk freely in public. Those exasperating physical responses are gone and you feel calm and composed. No more heart palpations, breathlessness, or shaking. You're speaking
clearly and audibly and you're able to talk comfortably and freely in any situation.
You can relax and be yourself, free to enjoy social occasions, go on courses, join clubs and progress your career. And knowing this fear is far behind you gives you a new sense of purpose.
Hi David,
The wedding was on Saturday and my speech was fantastic. Even got asked to email copies to other future 'Father of Brides'. Hardly any nerves at all and
congratulated by most of the guests. Great day thanks to you.
Kind regards
Chris
How does it work?
Hypnotherapy can help by simply changing the way you respond to those thoughts. It's a bit like re-programming a computer. You already know how to feel relaxed and calm. Hypnosis helps to change your
responses so you just can't seem to get worked up about it any more, so it just doesn't bother you like it used to. And the good news is it's simple, affordable and has a good track record of
success. Usually, one or two sessions are enough to solve the problem permanently.
Hi David,
All is going really well. The presentation I did went really well ... I quite enjoyed it!
Believe it or not I've actually been scoring at football too - previously unheard of!
Thank you for your help, you've really made difference and I'm much more comfortable and happy.
Nick.
The initial no obligation, half hour consultation is free, so there really is a good reason to finally sort this out.
