Do you suffer from Phobias Panic Attacks? Firstly, it is important to establish the difference between anxiety and fear. These terms are used interchangeably but they are quite distinct. Anxiety is a vague feeling of impending doom precipitated by either an internal or external stimuli. Fear, on the other hand, is terror felt from an identifiable external stimulus which poses as a genuine threat to the person.

Why are so many people terrified of the thought of public speaking? You could be the most confident person, but if someone asked you to speak in front of a crowd of people you would immediately start to sweat, shake and feel very sick. It is a fact that Americans fear public speaking more than death. The British fear it less – they fear death more! Some actors go through stage fright at some point in their career.

The American actress Daryl Hannah went to Paul McKenna to overcome her stage fright – it was her first time on stage. British actor Steven Fry actually didn’t turn up for his stage performance – he fled the country instead – because he could not face the theatre audience.
