How to manage nervousness without stuttering

I'm an introvert and not very suitable for speaking. I still remember the first time. At that time, the whole class looked at me in unison, really nervous. After a few words, my mouth is dry and my brain is blank. Finally, in a "boo", he was kicked off the stage by the teacher.

Perhaps the reason for the stutter can be found in this movie.

His stutter comes from a strong father, an unusually strict family education

It is often mentioned in psychology that adult psychological problems are closely related to childhood experiences.

As a child, his father was impatient, often interrupting conversations and giving a rude command to "speak quickly." Thought it would allow him to overcome his stutter. How can people who live in fear not stutter?

At the same time, his brother often made fun of him.

To overcome stuttering in a speech, you need to…

First, learn to let go of the past. No matter what has happened in the past, good or bad, it will not affect the future. Let it go, it's all over.

let go of the past

Second, Rogge, the speech therapist, has been helping him get back to who he really is - regaining his confidence.

During the rehearsal for the coronation ceremony, the archbishop sidelined Rogge, and the king's confidence had been shaken. But Rogge didn't give up and told him with the "aggressive method", "You are a very good king."

Don't listen to the villains around you, be your true self

Third, turn the stuttering into a pause in tone, and a long pause will appear more solemn. Then King George VI said, "Then I must be the most solemn king in history."

Fourth, on the manuscript paper of the speech, make pauses, continuous readings, and pitch marks.

In the end, hope for the best and plan for the worst

Really screwed up and nothing. Who hasn't experienced failure?
