Introduction

If you're new to anxiety it can be shocking - all sorts of unpleasant new things happening to your body - shaking, tunnel vision, brain fog, gagging, yawning, etc.  It's a rug that pulls your confidence from under you!  The good news is, you CAN get past it, and relatively quickly.

After suffering from panic attacks for 15 years (back in the day when mental health was far more stigmatised than it is today) I went to The Phobic Trust and did weekly workshops to get support.  I was introduced there to Toastmasters - of all things!  I knew I had the confidence for public speaking, but the thought of it made me sick to my stomach, my heart race and hands sweat.  However, I braved it, and found it to be a life-changing experience - it helped me learn to be nervous again, instead of going from 0-100 into full blown panic.  

I am thankful now to be able to say that anxiety attacks and anxiety in general are well in my past, and whenever I get the chance to speak publicly, I am always so grateful that I can!  I would love to share what I have learned with you so that anxiety can be in your past too.
