Getting a Voice and Feeling Acceptance with EFT

In one of my Toastmasters' meetings there was a fellow who 'dragged' himself to the meeting because his daughter was getting married in the summer and he was terrified of getting up at the wedding and speaking in front of the wedding guests. At the end of the meeting he was very shiny (sweating profusely) and shared with me that he could just not "imagine" himself speaking out in the TM meeting and just could not come back. I offered him information about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and am assuming that he might have looked into that. What interested me was that this fellow was a successful realtor-- he was fine working one-on-one, but saw 'public speaking' as a fate worse than death (we have all heard of that). Take a look at this clip of a fellow who is getting under his fears to 'the suppressed thing' that prevents him from feeling confident and whole:
