To those of you who believe you get the “skill” of courage with work has never felt social phobia. I have a very strong work ethic. But, I get all of the classic symptoms of socialized anxiety disorder during a job interview. I would get them when I was in high school and dating. There’s so much more to solving it than working at it. Your article doesn’t suggest exactly how to work at it. It’s like a switch goes off in my mind that’s full of tension and fear. When I want or need something such as a job in the worst way, I freeze up and tense up. It’s not caused by a tramatic event. I’ve been to counselors who tell me I’m not in need of counseling because there is no trama to get over. For me, I was just always that way. Most professionals believe it’s the way my brain chemistry works and anti-depressants are their only answer. However, I don’t feel depressed except over any circumstances that would make anyone sad. You have stay on these pills all the time and I don’t want that. For me I just need something on an as needed basis. You shouldn’t judge someone until you’ve walked in their shoes. I haven’t tried Bravina because I’m doing my research first (yes,Dion I’m working). I just don’t like seeing so many judgemental people out there.

Marc,
Great point about users cutting down their Bravina doses as they give more and more speeches/presentations. I think it would be difficult for someone to pinpoint the source of their decrease in anxiety: is it (1) Bravina or (2) the incease in speeches/presentations? Naturally, the inclination would be to continue the program that led to your decrease in anxiety: that program being (1) taking Bravina AND(2) continually giving speeches/presentations. So I doubt most people would quit Bravina if they felt it was a major source of their success. After going through Bravina’s site, I couldn’t find where they showed any desire for people to discard their product after gaining more practice. Don’t get me wrong, they do give advice for reducing anxiety outside of using Bravina. But that is more of a good gesture than an effort to undermine Bravina use. So I don’t think the intent is to have it used as a nicotine patch would be used.
