I have tried taking a course on public speaking and through out the class I learned several techniques. Which really help and I do try to take then into consideration. But I realize over time when I was taking the course I became comfortable with my classmates which made it easier for me. So when it was time for me to do it in front of a completely different group I had the same feelings all over again. I also tried taking medication prescribed by my doctor to help with the panic attacks but I did not like the way it made me feel and sometimes I would forget to take it. But it did control the feelings that I was having but to a cretin point I felt as though those feelings still over powered the medication. So I have learn to do a combination of these techniques and also try to do breathing exercise and think of positive things. It’s more of a state of reinforcing everything that I have learned and trying to condition myself to a better stat of mind. Reference Baron, R. A., Kalsher, M.J. (2008).
