Presentations and public speaking

I wouldn’t even try to guess why you feel this way or why things haven’t changed as you gained experience. The fact that you mention "day one" in your question would suggest there is a subconscious connection to the anxiety associated with giving your first ever presentation and this has become an inherent part of your public speaking experience. It would appear that you are now, unconsciously, triggering and re-enforcing the negative thought process and emotion every time you speak. In other words you now expect it and are consciously waiting for it to happen.

Hypnotherapy can help in a number of ways. Firstly by learning self hypnosis and the relaxation techniques I teach you can learn to control the rapid heart beat and the uncomfortable physical feelings you experience. Then you can reframe the subconscious mind and attach different thoughts and feelings to the experience of public speaking so rather than thinking anxiety you can replace those thoughts with words like success, calm, control etc. You will be amazed by how simply changing a few words in the unconscious mind can change the emotion and feelings associated with something that has caused you such difficulty in the past. If you wish we can also examine any negative association you may have with presentations or public speaking and look to replace the negative associations with more appropriate positive ideas.

On a final note, you are not alone. I have had many executives in high profile positions who would be considered successful business people who have the same problem with public speaking.
