Bouncing Ball
Life is like a ball. When you hit it harder, it will bounce higher.
When I wanted to speak, I feel a kind of fear. I do not know what I am afraid of. It was said that stuttering is caused by fearing of stuttering. I have so much bad memory of embarrassment in my life. I simpl do not want to be embarrassed any more. This psychological burden is too heavy to carry. If carries this burden with every speaking situation, I will definitely stutter.
Actually, my speech is not so bad. I could speak much better than I believe I could be. In many situations, I could speak quite well. I could speak better when I need to speak definitely. All the worries are left behide in these situations.
The fear of stuttering is very similar to the fear I experience when I am learning to dive. I know clearly that I will not be hurt when I dive from a one meeter platform. However, each time I feel a kind of fear, insecurity before I actually plunge into water. However, when I actually plunged into water, this fear disappeared.This kind of fear is getting less and less when I practice more and more.
Use the diving as a metaphor for initiating a conversion, I could perceive that if I do it more and more, I will be able to get rid of the fear of stuttering, and eventually, overcome my stuttering problem.
