- Interviews with Patients who have resolved Public Speaking Anxiety
The fear of being noticeably nervous is a big part of the untold story. One of the reasons this piece of the story is not well known is that many public anxiety sufferers are perfectionists. The last thing a perfectionist will do is admit they are not perfect. While the perfectionism is often a major positive variable for career success, it’s also been the energy that drives the anxiety. In “Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder as Etiology for Performance Anxiety,”Jonathan Berent describes how perfectionism drives performance and social anxiety.
Listen to our clinical interviews for examples of successful individuals whom you would never think suffer from public speaking anxiety. These high achievers said variations of – “this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life” – about their successful and transforming treatment. The reasoning, which is another component of the untold story, is the deeply ingrained psychophysiological response and conditioning of the sufferer. In fact, the biggest confusion that patients bring into treatment is unawareness of how ingrained the mind-body response has become.
