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

personality disorder developing. Click here to listen to interviews with real people who have resolved fear of public speaking and public speaking anxiety.
