Public Speaking Hypnosis Course: From Petrified to Powerful in 10 Steady Steps
Follow Mark Tyrrell's journey from a presentation panic attack to confidently speaking to an audience of 500
I had been worried about the upcoming presentation, but nothing had prepared me for this. Suddenly my audience was a wall of critical silence, intent on exposing me. Logically I knew that was nonsense but my emotional mind had stopped listening.
My name is Mark Tyrrell, I'm the co-founder of Hypnosis Downloads and this public speaking nightmare I'm about to reveal is a true story about one of our very first hypnosis workshops.
My public speaking panic attack
So now it was time to start my speech. But the level of panic I was feeling made speaking impossible, the only option I felt was open to me was running away. I was experiencing an 'emotional hijacking', which as someone experienced in psychology I knew fine well, but that made not a jot of difference.
So my urge to leave was on the same level as awaking to find your bed on fire, but there were thirty people waiting for me to educate and entertain them. For two whole days! What was I going to do?
I'd done some public speaking before, given a few small workshops, so why now was I swamped with out-of-the-blue, gut-wrenching fear? If I was honest with myself I'd never been entirely comfortable standing up and speaking to more than, well, one person, but sheer panic was new to me.
I have never felt so much like fleeing from anywhere. It took all my willpower to stay in the room, and steadily, bit by bit, my anxiety levels lessened to the point where I became a thinking, communicating human again. But what had happened? And even more worryingly, what if it happened again?
How I made sure I never again got presentation panic
I knew that if I was to carve out a career as a trainer, I had to change myself. So I set out to master both public speaking fear and presentation technique. I didn't just want to be confident, I wanted to be inspiring. I studied presentation expertise by watching the best over and over until the patterns of their success sank deep into my mind.
I used every technique in the book to detraumatize the experience of panicking in front of an audience, and to create a new roadmap for being relaxed, spontaneous and humorous when presenting. I rehearsed presentations hypnotically, ensuring I both knew my material inside out, and prepared myself emotionally.
And although before the next workshop I presented, I couldn't be sure I wouldn't panic again, I felt that something had changed. And indeed, when I stood up on that first day I had the mild performance-enhancing nerves that even seasoned presenters can feel. (Without those I can come across a bit bored ;-)
Since that horrendous day I've given presentations to tens of thousands, at hundreds of events; once to 500 people for 8 hours straight. And enjoyed it. In fact, I would go so far as to say that these days I get the biggest buzz possible from public speaking - I love it. There have been times when I've forgotten my notes, when the powerpoint presentation didn't work, when unsolvable technical hitches occurred and I still presented confidently. Heck I've even temporarily forgotten what I was going to say and still relaxed and given an overall great speech.
How a glass of water showed me how calm I'd become
I remember once when I invited audience questions a man put up his hand and asked: "Tell me, because I'm amazed, how can you lift a glass of water to your mouth in front of 400 people without your hand shaking?" That wasn't really the sort of question I had in mind but it did make me realize just how far I'd come.
Now admitting in public that I, as a hypnotherapist, had a panic attack while presenting is not my idea of making myself look good, but I'm telling you this because it's important you know you can overcome your fear of public speaking, no matter how severe it is.
The blueprint of how I achieved this is written into the pages of this 10-step course. Everything I learned during that process, and a lot I've learned since during thousands of hours of presentations, are included. The hypnotic experiences I used for myself are contained within the course's hypnosis downloads.
I want you to believe that we can all learn to master fears and present more creatively to amuse, inspire, even captivate any audience. At one time I couldn't even imagine presenting with confidence; now I can't imagine presenting without feeling supremely self assured.
You can too.

How the course works:
I've poured everything I know from my business experience and my years as a therapist into this multimedia course.
10 Steps to Powerful Public Speaking contains a 151-page downloadable Course Manual with a Progress Checker and 10 carefully crafted hypnosis downloads, one for each step of the course. After reading the first chapter, your mind is optimized to benefit from the specially tailored hypnosis session that follows.
You listen to this session once a day for a week (or whatever feels right to you), and when you're done you assess yourself using the Progress Checker.
Feel free to go faster or slower through certain steps. This is your program, and your road to confident public speaking.
How to use the program:
The workbook takes you through every step, discussing the emotional barriers that get in the way of our natural ability to communicate, and providing tips, case studies, and exercises to stimulate your thinking and help you become a confident public speaker. Even after you've read the very first chapter, your attitude towards public speaking will start to feel very different indeed.
Motivation is built-in
Fill in the Progress Checker when you start each step and see how you're doing. The Progress Checker makes a number of statements on the topic covered in that step, and asks you to indicate how true these statements are when applied to you, giving you a clear and simple way to monitor your progress. Keeping tabs on yourself like this makes you more aware of small improvements and helps you to stay committed.
10 hypnosis sessions make your learning last
Each step in the program is supported by a specific audio download to provide a deeper, unconscious level of change and create new, more helpful patterns of behavior.
Each deeply relaxing audio tackles a different element of public speaking fear, to ensure you develop a well-rounded, sustainable confidence about speaking in front of large audiences. All you have to do is tap play on your audio player, lay back, absorb and let your unconscious do the hard work.
Both head and heart are taken care of
The workbook gives you the ‘head' knowledge and the audios give you the ‘heart' knowledge, helping you make emotional updates that change how you feel. To bring the head and heart together, we've included tried-and-tested exercises to tackle different aspects of public speaking fear in detail. These exercises will help you break through to the next step on your journey. You can move onto the next step whenever you're ready.
