There was a time when I was quite literally "petrified" of public speaking - nervousness would intensify to the point that I simply could not continue talking. Sometimes a lump in my throat would physically prevent me from speaking clearly. At other times I would blush like a tomato and mentally freeze so that I couldn't even think of what I had to say. It has been said that for some people the fear of public speaking is as strong as the fear of death. At times like that, I would definitely agree.
Perhaps your fear of speaking is not so severe as the description above, or perhaps it's even worse. But the fact is, anything that distracts your attention significantly is probably limiting your personal effectiveness (not to mention your peace of mind in any situation where public speaking is a possibility).
On the other hand, imagine that no matter how much fear or nervousness you experienced that you were still able to speak well in front of people. Ironically, once you achieve that mindset, the fear of public speaking simply disappears. And this is what happens when you use the Self Therapy Method WHILE speaking.
So once you've learned the Self Therapy Method, simply apply it to any fear that you feel arising before or during your speech, or during any social activity for that matter. Soon, what would have become bottled up energy overload will be a completely manageable reaction. And with confidence in your ability to handle those reactions, your fear of public speaking will quickly dissolve.
With the Self Therapy Method, you'll always know that you can handle that upcoming presentation or speech. This is a technique that really works!
