Speaking anxiety or speaking phobia can be a very annoying problem. You probably know Joe Vitale from Larry King or the law of attraction movie The Secret, believe it or not he had a fear of public speaking and every time after he was asked to speak a tremendous amount it turned into a panic attack.
Joe was desperate for a cure to his speaking phobia. One day while he was on a flight he saw an ad for a course that said “I can teach you how to stop having the fear while speaking in five minutes or less…” He was very skeptical but desperate so he decided to give it a chance and that’s how he was introduced to Roger Callahan and to the EFT, The Tapping Solution therapy.
The results were just short of phenomenal as he describes it “I was amazed at that by tapping on different parts of my body that my body would relax that I can actually feel it shift and i thought that this is a little weird like why is this happening in if I tapped on a different part of the body would it still happen the same way that I was beginning to think maybe it’s the placebo effect.
Maybe it was working because I was believing it would work or I needed it to work, just desperately wanted it to work.
I remember wanting to chew the curtains because I was just so afraid when I was imagining that what if I go on Larry King and I choke. What if I can’t think of what to say. What if when he asks the questions and I don’t have an answer for. What if I sit there like an idiot and this is live and the whole world is watching it and I’m thinking to myself this is the fear of public speaking….”
Watch the complete interview learn what is the tapping solution and discover how Joe was able to get over his fear of public speaking and his panic attacks thanks to the EFT – The Tapping Solution.
This is Jill Bolte Taylor‘s amazing story. Jill decided to study the brain and to become a neuroanatomist after her brother has been diagnosed with a special brain disorder – schizophrenia. She has dedicated her career to research why her brother because of his mental illness couldn’t take his dreams and connect them to his reality and make them come true as she can.
Together with doctor Francine Dennis in the harbor department of psychiatry in Boston she was researching what physiological and neurological differences between the brains of people who’d be defined as normal as opposed to the brains of men and women diagnosed as suffering from mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
One day with out any notice discovered Jill that she had a brain dysfunction of her own. As a result of a blood vessel explosion in the left side of her brain she watched and experienced how her own brain completely deteriorate in its ability to process all information within couple of hours. Jill could not do any basic movements and activities. She wasn’t able to write, read, walk or recall any part of her life.
Essentially she became an infant in an adult woman’s body. Watch this short TED video and find out what happened to Jill after her near to death stroke experience.
