10 Clinical Dynamics for Resolving Public Speaking Anxiety Disorder 

 

“It’s wonderful to strive for peak performance. It’s absurd to be paralyzed by fear of not being perfect.”

Jonathan Berent, L.C.S.W.

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, blushingbreaking 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.

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.
