Marc St. Camille, or as I like to call him, MSC, has helped me overcome the biggest obstacle I’ve ever had to deal with in my lifetime. I had severe anxiety when it came to public speaking. I was horrified even thinking about standing up in front of a crowd and giving a speech. In the past, I would sweat profusely, my voice would be shaky, and my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest when I had to give a speech.
For over a year, I was feeling trapped, as if I had a handicap, right after one of my friends asked me to be the best man at his wedding. I had nightmares, I obsessively thought about it during the day, and it was negatively controlling my life. I ended up visiting MSC, by referral of a great friend of mine, and the process to overcome my anxiety began. We worked on building up my confidence, visualizing realistic outcomes, and giving a great performance. The meditation and self hypnosis exercises he taught me really worked for me. MSC helped me stay calm and relaxed when in stressful situations. As the days to the wedding dwindled, I knew I was about to achieve something so great and special for me. I was going to beat the anxieties that were troubling me for such a long time.
When the time came for me to stand up and give the speech, I was cool, confident, and ready to give the performance of my lifetime. I gave a 5 minute, best man speech that had the room filled with excitement and laughter. When I spoke, I could feel my fears leaving my body, and they were being replaced with confidence. The entire wedding reception loved my speech and I received a standing ovation. It wasn’t until after the speech that I realized I did not even sweat a little bit. My friends and people I didn’t even know came up to me after my speech and told me what a great job I did. No one ever knew the battle that I had just overcame. It was such a great feeling, and I’ll never forget that moment. I owe so much to MSC for the time and effort that he put into helping me beat my anxiety of public speaking. He is a great man and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with similar issues that I had.
