Question 2
We talked about systematic sensitization as a treatment for public speaking apprehension. Here is an example of how you might use this technique.

Find a comfortable chair and start with some relaxation techniques. Breathe slowly and think about each part of your body relaxing, moving slowly from your legs to your head. Once thoroughly relaxed (but not asleep), imagine a public speaking encounter. To begin with, imagine a relaxed speaking encounter. Let’s say you picture telling a story to a group of friends. The more detailed you can make this visualization, the better. Next, imagine a slightly more stressful speech. Let’s say you picture yourself explaining your last work project to a small handful of colleagues in a relaxed office setting. Still relaxed? If not, recognize that and relax your muscles again. Move on to a more stressful event, and so forth, increasing the formality, size, and prestige of the audience.

Why is this supposed to work?

  • You are calmer.
  • You are increasing the stimulus while maintaining a relaxed state.
  • You are visualizing yourself doing well.
