Public Speaking.
Fear of speaking in public is so prevalent that even people that have never had to do any public speaking can find themselves scared of what may happen to them. That there is some anxiety is quite natural, top public speakers included; they have just learnt how to use it to their advantage. A modicum of anxiety can be used to help with focus, concentration and delivery. It is when the anxiety gets to a level that prevents us from doing what we are capable of that it has got out of hand. We have to look at why this anxiety has risen the way it has.

Preparation is very important when we are building confidence, the feeling that you have mastered the subject, or become word perfect in the lines will be of great help. It is also very important to rehearse thoroughly before any actual performance. You should concentrate on speaking slowly, clearly and deliberately and concentrate entirely on what you are saying.

The is much that we can do with hypnotherapy to help people feel more comfortable whilst speaking in public. It may be that we need to deal with past events, look at negative thought processes, build self esteem etc.

Self hypnosis can also be used to run through presentations in the mind, addressing the audience without difficulty. You can then give yourself suggestions that you will find it increasingly easy to do this in real life without nervousness, self-consciousness or apprehension.
