Public Speaking Anxiety: The Obsessive Mind at Work
Performance anxiety within a public speaking context is based on worries about
being noticeably nervous and losing control due to panic. Physical symptoms such
as increased pulse, blushing, breaking
out into a sweat, nausea, and eye contact difficulty are common. A myriad
of deeper negative thoughts run rampant such as, “people will see who I
really am”; “I will humiliate myself”; or “people will
not get to see my true ability”. These are characterized by varying degrees
of obsessive thinking. When public speaking anxiety and panic
turn into avoidance, a social
phobia is present. The more avoidance takes
place, the more there is the risk of an avoidant
personality disorder developing.
Hear “Kevin”,
a successful lawyer, describe insightfully and in depth how he learned psycho
physiological control of performance anxiety, and accomplished his therapeutic
objectives.
Listen to “Carol”,
an ovarian cancer survivor who once said that “she would rather be
back in chemotherapy than speak in front of a group,” as she describes
her success in managing public speaking anxiety and involuntary blushing.
Start the process: Resolve Your Performance Anxiety
If you understand your public speaking challenge as an anxiety
problem rather than just a skills issue, and are truly motivated to change, this
is the program for you. Your performance anxiety is resolvable when you learn
to control “the
physiology of performance”, and understand “autonomic hypersensitivity” concurrent
to emotional and cognitive restructuring.
