Overcoming phone anxiety
The best way to overcome phone anxiety is to make more phone calls.
- Start by making a list of the people you need to speak to on the phone, like friends or colleagues.
- Consider what makes you anxious, for example, making a mistake.
- When the call is over, acknowledge your success.
If you've tried to overcome your phone anxiety or need professional help, counselling might be a great option. Cognitive-behavioural therapy is another effective treatment.
