Make a list of all the things related to your phobia. Divide them into steps, according to how much they scare you. Place the situation that scares you the least at the top. It shouldn’t be too frightening; you should be able to try it. Expose yourself to the first situation in your list, and then work your way up the list. You’ll slowly gain confidence as you move up the list, and you’ll eventually be able to proudly say that you’re no longer afraid of the situation.
For example, if you’re afraid of giving presentations, make a list of all the things involved in giving a presentation. You are preparing content, walking up to the stage while looking at you, looking at the people when you’re on the stage, introducing yourself, presenting your content while looking at the people (or the wall), and then walking back to your seat. Put the situation that scares you the least at the top and focus on that. Once you feel you’ve gotten over that fear, move on to the next situation.
