Performance Anxiety / Stage Fright and the Fear of Public Speaking
Overcoming Performance Anxiety
Performance anxiety, stage fright or even the fear of public speaking (glossophobia) are the names given to a social phobia whereby people experience a large amount of nervousness when they have to make what amounts to a 'public' appearance. These can include such situations such as being on stage, or giving a speech, or any situation where someone is 'on show'.
While stage fright is commonly thought of as affecting people like actors, actresses and musicians, stage fright can just as easily affect people like flight attendants, teachers, polititians, train drivers and pilots, in fact, anyone who has to make an announcement or a similar 'performance'.
While stage fright is closely linked to social phobia, it is also recognised as a 'performance anxiety', and indeed, someone who suffers from strong 'stage fright' symptoms might not exhibit any other symptoms of social phobia on a day-to-day basis, and it's only the 'performance' that brings on the symptoms.
In fact, anyone who has to do something like a best-man's speech at a wedding for example, might experience a form of stage fright more commonly known as the 'fear of public speaking'
Of course, for an actor, actress, musician or pilot, they are in the sorts of jobs that means that they have to face their fear on a daily basis, and this can become quite stressful for the sufferer. Using hypnotherapy to help with overcoming stage fright
