You’re about to take the stage and your palms are sweaty, your mouth is dry and your heart is beating in your ears. In these high anxiety public speaking situations, how can you calm your nerves and quell your public speaking anxiety? Today’s guest Deb Dana teaches you how to befriend your nervous system so you can understand what’s going on in those moments and find calm in a sea of nerves.
Deb Dana, a licensed clinical social worker, uses Polyvagal Theory to understand and resolve the impact of trauma and create ways of working that honor the role of the autonomic nervous system. Dana is well known for translating Polyvagal Theory into a language that is both clear and accessible, and for pioneering Rhythm of Regulation® methodology, tools, techniques, and practices for people from all walks of life — including public speakers.
