Of course not.

Becoming angry and sad are just part of being human, perfectly human. The same goes for stage fright.

In therapy, they call saying something like “I’ll never get angry again, a Dead Man’s Goal. It’s one only a dead man could achieve.

The same goes for stage fright.

When an audience’s judgment of you represents a threat, the autonomic nervous system is going to engage in a counterproductive attempt to protect you.

And that’s why there’s no one-and-done cure for stage fright.

Fortunately, you CAN do something. And it’s fairly easy to accomplish once you know the ins and outs of it.

As paradoxical as it may seem, you can learn mindful acceptance of your anxiety as the effective way beyond it.
