This article shares our fear of speaking in public and gives us many useful advises to solve this problem.

Do you have nightmares about speaking in public? When you have to stand up in front of a group does your mouth go dry? Hands shake? Stomach turn flip-flops? Feel lightheaded? Think you may pass out?

Welcome to the club. If it's any comfort, you are not alone!

According to a well-known survey, 65% of us would rather die than speak in public. Many have tried for years to overcome their fear and given it up as hopeless. But wait! There is hope.

We can now turn to three tested methods to end the fear of public speaking that have been shown to yield amazing results. They are Neuro-Linquistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and The Lefkoe Method (TLM). Each approach deals with the problem from a different perspective, and each is effective in its own way. So what's the difference?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

If the name sounds somewhat scientific, it's because NLP was created by two scientists, Richard Bandler and Paul Grinder, both professors at the University of California. Their research led to the conclusion that we tend to process information in at least three ways: visually (through sight), aurally (through sound) and kinesthetically (through touch). We may use one, two or all three, but we usually emphasize one or two. The way in which we use these processes determines how we feel about the information. Using this knowledge, Bandler and Grinder created several techniques to permanently alter how we feel.

There are many anecdotal reports of people who, by using just a few hours of NLP techniques, were able to substantially reduce or rid themselves of their fear of public speaking. Also, four separate studies done between 1975 and 1980 demonstrate that just one NLP procedure, “The Fast Phobia Cure,” was effective in helping people reduce or eliminate many phobias, including the residual trauma experienced by victims of rape.
