Fear of Public SpeakingHow Phobias Work | The Cure | Other Treatments | Tools Fear of Public Speaking has been rated as the #1 fear in America. Some say it is more feared than death. If you have this fear you share it with millions and millions of people.
Called by many names - stage fright, speech anxiety, shyness, fear of speaking, performance anxiety, and speech phobia fear of public speaking can have a negative effect on careers and the ability to get things done. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, the inability to speak, a shaky voice, rapid breathing , rapid heartbeat, sweating, nausea etc. I have spoken with many people who's fears related to incidents in high school or college speech classes. You see, when a person has a negative experience, the brain can link the negative feelings associated with that experience to other similar experiences. A person could have a momentary feeling of panic during a speech and the brain thinks "Aha, here's a dangerous situation. I know because I feel panic. How do I keep myself from getting in this dangerous situation again? I know, I'll attach the feeling of panic to it - that'll stop me." This is one of the primary ways that humans learn - by attaching emotions to situations. The trick is to break the linkage in the mind between the context of public speaking and the fear.
