Picture this: you're standing in front of a crowd on the stage. All of a sudden the palms of your hands start to sweat. You feel anxious, nervous and like the whole world is staring at you and waiting for you to make a mistake. You fear that people will judge you. You fear that people will see you as a weak person who is a failure. Sounds familiar?

Feeling anxious about speaking in public is very common. In fact, most of us experience, at some point in our life, discomfort when speaking in front of a group of people. But if you feel that this fear is limiting you and causing you to miss out on opportunities in social, academic or job sectors, then you might be suffering from speech anxiety.

No matter how long you have experienced this, or what you may have done in the past to overcome it, there is hope! Our therapy for speech anxiety is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). You see, it is your automatic negative thoughts and perceptions about yourself and others that cause your fear of speaking in front of other people. Our speech anxiety online therapy program will provide you with insightful knowledge about glossophobia (speech anxiety) as well as how to control your anxiety. Your therapist will teach you techniques like cognitive restructuring (changing what you brain says to you), meditation, positive mental visualization and other valuable skills to help you combat your negative thinking. Each time you practice these techniques, you will find it easier to take control of your life and your speech anxiety. You will get useful tips on how to work in a group of people, with the aim of getting you comfortable with making your voice heard in front of others.
