Rahul, a 22-year-old university student, had always feared public speaking. As a child, he once froze on the stage during a school recital, and since then the thought of speaking in front of an audience made him anxious. In college, his fear became a serious obstacle when he had to give presentations for his classes. His palms would sweat, his heart would race and his mind would go blank. After discussing his problem with a counselor, Rahul learned that he was experiencing performance anxiety. He was advised by the therapist to start with simple steps like speaking in front of a mirror, and then to a small group of friends. Gradually, he progressed to deliver short talks in his classroom. Over time, Rahul gained confidence and even began to enjoy public speaking. He learned to challenge negative thoughts and replace them with positive self-talk.
