Each attempt just past the edge of comfort makes the next one easier, and the discomfort becomes proof you are growing rather than something to fear. Like a balloon that never shrinks back to its original size once it has been inflated, your sense of what feels comfortable only expands. From a few minutes talking online to standing in front of a real audience, that edge keeps moving outward until it stops moving at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt runs about 22 minutes, and the version of you who comes back from it tends to raise a hand a little sooner next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"episode-backlink\"\u003eListen to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thehypnotistpodcast.com\/episode\/stretching-the-comfort-zone-of-public-speaking-anxiety\/\"\u003eStretching the Comfort Zone of Public Speaking Anxiety\u003c\/a\u003e free on The Hypnotist Podcast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr class=\"product-disclaimer-rule\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"product-disclaimer\"\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThese sessions are for relaxation and personal empowerment.
