Hypnosis-Fear of Public Speaking
I was wondering if anybody knew anything about hypnosis and if it works for public speaking and even if you don't know anything about it do you think it would work.

I love hypnosis. I did a study on it last year in Psych and the use of hypnosis to counsel a person is actually called Hypnotherapy.
Right now, there are about -- techniques you could use to help yourself.
The first is repetition which is pretty much repeating a statement over and over again until it is accepted, i.e. "You like public speaking. You love standing in front of a crown.". Usually being positive works better than being negative for example, it's better to say "You like public speaking" than "You are not not afraid of public speaking".
You also have three types of suggestion; direct, indirect and post-hypnotic. Direct is straightforward, i.e. "You feel happy when public speaking" and indirect isn't as straightforward (I don't know too much about indirect suggestion). The third is post-hypnotic which is the ever-cliched, "When you awake, you will feel happy about being on stage and speaking in front of people."
One of my friends quit smoking with hypnotherapy and it really does have potential to help you through your fears but many critics say that you can reach the same effect without being hypnotized like using the techniques while you are awake.

i personally don't know much about the art of hypnosis, but i know that it doesn't tend to work on most people. honestly i think it's a load of bs. but thats just me.
i feel that the only way to really get over the fear of public speaking is to get pracice; do it in front of family members and friends. that's what i do when i have to talk in front of a group of classmates who im not necessarily comfortable talking in front of.
hope that helped somewhat!
