Overcoming the Fear of Public Speaking (Glossophobia treatment)
- also, overcoming the fear of trying to speak
at the Huddersfield and Manchester Hypnotherapy Clinic

Glossophobia is a form of anxiety expression that manifests itself as a fear of speaking in public or trying to speak. The fear experienced is far more than just a mere concern or worry and can approximate to the kind of fear that all people are capable of experiencing in response to situations of danger (such as stepping into the road and being faced by an oncoming car).

Each person who suffers from this phobia will have different descriptions of how it affects them. One person affected by Glossophobia may experience symptoms at just the thought of speaking in public or trying to speak or may experience symptoms when he or she hears someone talking about speaking in public or trying to speak, whereas another person may experience symptoms when he or she is having some other sensory experience to do with speaking in public or trying to speak.

In general terms, phobic symptoms will occur when the subject matter of the phobia is presented to the sufferer in any number of ways, and the ways in which these affect the phobic person will be unique to each sufferer, however, all sufferers of this phobia and all other phobias do share very similar symptoms. These symptoms can include:

• a feeling of inner anxiety.
  
• gasping for air/ shortness of breath.
  
• a feeling that the world is collapsing in on them.
  
• a feeling of being trapped with nowhere to go.
  
• increased or irregular heartbeat.
  
• sweating.
  
• a feeling of sheer dread.
  

Some types of therapies can take very long periods of time (years) to cure phobias such as the fear of speaking in public or trying to speak, but here at Huddersfield Hypnotherapy Clinic, we can offer permanent solutions in relatively short time-frames leaving you free from your phobia and free to let you get on with the business of enjoying life. There is more information within this web site on how hypnosis can help you with your fear of public speaking.
