Anxiety/Panic Disorder

This is the kind of disorder that brings on unexpected attacks that paralyze you with fear for no apparent reason. Of course there are unknown factors that cause these attacks but the sufferer seldom understands what those causes are without the professional help of a family physician or a clinical specialist who are trained to cope with this type of disorder.

The most ordinary symptoms of the attacks are dizziness, feeling faint, increased breathing, pounding heart, tingling or numbing sensations in the hands and feet, feeling of imminent doom, a disconnection with reality or a total lack of control.

Using a few simple techniques can help cure panic attacks during public speaking. Most people are affected with shyness at some point in their life. Very few people feel comfortable being at the center of attention and find it a nerve-racking experience. For some, being in front of others can conjure up extreme feelings of fear and embarrassment.

Fears of being embarrassed and severe anxiousness around others; these are common characteristics of social phobia.

If you are afraid, you’re afraid, right? Fear is something which you feel. It’s simply there, and logical thought just doesn’t seem to be strong enough to banish the instinctive and debilitating symptoms of fear. Most often you know that your fear is illogical, and yet this knowledge doesn’t help one iota.

If you suffer a fear of any description you have probably tackled it in various ways. Most people with a fear of heights, for instance, approach their fear primarily by avoidance. If you don’t go “up there” you won’t be afraid. But there are many times when you would dearly like to be able to climb up to the top of whatever landmark it may be, or to drive over a bridge, or to use a ski lift.

Spiders, snakes, heights, confined spaces, flying, thunderstorms or even public speaking — everyone knows someone who has a phobia. Maybe you’re a sufferer yourself. The Collins English Dictionary defines a phobia as an ‘abnormal, intense and irrational fear of a given situation, organism or object’. Typical symptoms include dizziness, heart palpitations and a sense of terror. When the stimulus appears — sometimes it only needs to be thought of — the person responds automatically with a strong physical reaction. Some phobias can be hard to live with many limit people in what they can do.

The event itself has long since passed into the mists of time, so it must be the way the person is representing it internally that’s causing the difficulty.
