So what type of symptoms can you experience if you have a fear of public speaking?
For some, they have the sense of not being in their body, it is as if they are an observer listening to themselves. Weird but true. Their voice can even sound distorted to them. They can feel as if they have little to no control.
How can you stop this happening? Learn skills? No
You can know all the skills in the world but once you are triggered you are not going to pull yourself out of this one.
Repeat exposure, get used to the experience and get more confident? No. It could get worse.
The best way to deal with this is to eliminate the trigger. How can you do that? EFT, TAT and NLP can help do this very effectively.
No trigger, no problem. Simple.
Interesting post. I teach people to overcome their fears of public speaking and I’m always hearing of new symptoms.
