    According to the definition provided by Barlow and Durand (2015), a specific phobia is an irrational fear of a specific object or situation that markedly interferes with an individual’s ability to function (p. 143). Considering the different subtypes of specific phobia (e.g. blood-injection-injury type, situational type, natural environment type, and animal type), and based on my own experiences, I could say that I struggle with two particular phobias. First of all, an animal type of phobia that I struggle with is frogs. I’m completely terrified of frogs. Just by seeing a picture of a frog, or if I’m walking around a pond, I start feeling unusual sensations such as my neck gets numbed, and I begin shacking right away.…

    Speech Anxiety A time I had experienced speech anxiety was the first time I had to give my senior project speech in front of my peers. The night before my speech I had stayed up all night writing my speech and that morning I finished my power point. Writing the speech at the last minute was not the best idea, but I was fine because my speech was about something I had passion for at the time. Decorating the power point was not all that bad either.…

    My fingers shook like a leaf caught in the breath of winter, sweat stippled my body, the breakfast burrito in my stomach heaved, and with growing anticipation, I sat down in my seat and started my math quiz. All of my life, I had been quiet and reserved. As a baby, I rarely cried, and in elementary school, I was deemed, “the shy kid.” As I progressed through school, my reticence was easily overlooked, but at the end of seventh grade, my parents decided to move. I started eighth grade at a new school and my first day was a total shock.…

    Although I feel that I did an adequate job on the group project one of the most important skills that I desperately need to improve on is learning to present in front of an audience. We had two assignments this semester that revolved around speaking in front of our class, the first being a speech by ourselves and the second being the group presentation. I am a cheerleader, so being in front of crowds does not bother me but what makes me the most nervous is when I have to speak in front of others by reading something I have written or completed. In the group presentation I was not as nervous since I was not alone in speaking to the class, but on the speech I did I was overcome with anxiety. Being able to talk in front of others is my biggest setback, but I am certain that with enough practice, patience, and preparation I will be able to calmly give a speech over any subject that I am required to do.…

    I sometimes get nervous about what people are thinking about my speech when I am giving it but if I don’t judge people from the audience then I will have the mindset when I am on stage that people from the audience are not judging me. Lastly, I think that I will be able to get up in front of people and give a speech without getting extremely nervous. I haven’t had much experience with speaking in front of big groups but hopefully by the end of this semester I will be very good at it without having any nervous feelings if someone asked me to give a public…
