Detailed Description

This narrative is about my own problem of a speech disorder generated by my past experience of rejection. Sometimes I speak so fast and rapid that it’s difficult for a listener to understand. My words overlap, they come under pressure, and I speak as if I have to go somewhere urgently. My problem of the “pressure of speech” affects my life in many ways. It makes me incapable of communicating with others. I want to be free from this psychosis of a speech disorder. I want to speak my mind. Something struggles within my mind to come out. Some times when I am unable to communicate, I feel a suffocation and a severe pain in my throat, neck, mouth, jaw, and within my head. I am stuck in my past negative experiences. Also now I hesitate to speak because I respect others; I think they are perfect and have a bigger personality than me. I want to erase my past. I want to realise my self-worth and self-esteem. I want to love and care for myself. I try to heal my psychological problem through my creative expressive art therapy, i.e., animation therapy. It’s my way of realising my creative self-worth and experiencing a well-being within my mind.
