How To Stop Stammering At Home

By David C. Messier


If you want to put an end to your stammering on your own, not having to rely on pathologists and professional therapists to help you, there are only two things you need to remember. First of all, your perceptions, attitude and feelings regarding your stutter. Second, you must change your behavior connected to the stammer.To change those perceptions, attitudes and feelings, you have to do something to lessen, or even remove, your fear of speaking in front of others, of the mingling in social life, and of making yourself look like a fool. In other words, you must overcome your urge to avoid situations where someone might expect you to speak, whether as a guest speaker or as part of a group.

A lot of sufferers complain that they simply try to get the words out too fast, and therefore cannot get their point across clearly as the stuttering comes in to play. So therefore you need to slow things down! I don't mean talk like a sloth for the rest of your life, but don't rush! Take in deeper breaths and simply talk slower.Here is a fact for you. Stammering is made worse in stressful situations.

Therefore, if you find yourself stuttering a lot more when trying to make a good impression with a stranger, or talking to a group of people, then you need to find a way to relax. Yoga is a good way to relieve the built up stress in your body, so this could help improve fluency.A great tip I can give you, if you want to know how to stop stammering, is to pause and collect your thoughts before you speak. Give it a try when you're next out, it may really help you out.

That's when I learned this technique. Basically, in order to speak more fluently, you need to start talking slower, and move your mouth around a lot more. Exaggerate what you're saying with your lips. I often mumbled a lot whilst I was a stammerer, and this technique teaches you to speak more clearly and fluently.This was a great method to learn how to stop stammering, however I didn't want to speak like this forever. I didn't simply want to talk slower, I wanted to speak like everyone else!

If you have a stammering condition, and want to know how to stop stammering, it's best to consider first a few facts: Stammering can affect almost anyone - In America alone, there are over 3 million people who stutter. But it doesn't matter where in the world you live, how safe your environment is, or what kind of family background you have. Stammering affects a great deal of people from all walks of life. However, it is often common in young children who are still learning to speak. And usually, these children are able to stop stuttering as they grow older. Only a small percentage of adults stutter (around 1%).

There are some ways to help to stop stuttering in adults and they are easy to do. A great way to overcome your stuttering is to read out loud whenever you can. This will help you to control the pace in which you speak so you can stop your stutter from happening. Another great way to stop stuttering in adults is to take a class such as yoga. Yoga will help you to calm your nerves and also, to control your body and your mind. You will be able to have some control over the way that you speak so your stutter will no longer be an issue. Try these methods to stop your stuttering so you can fit in and feel confident about yourself.

There is no instant cure for stammering - you're well likely to encounter a number of people who would offer a miracle cure for stammering, but quite frankly, the "cure" there usually consists of methods that require ongoing practice. And by definition, that is not a "cure", but... it definitely helps you manage your stuttering, even to a point where it is hardly noticeable at all.There are many famous people who stammer but have achieved success and significance - Winston Churchill, Bill Walton, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Love, King George VI are just some of the big time persona who had to deal with stammering. You as an individual should not let stammering affect you, or determine the vocation and life that you will live. There are many individuals who have made a difference with their lives and have impacted society in a great way, even though they found it hard to stop their stuttering.

No, stammering is not a disease, it is a speech problem that very much takes control of how you communicate with others, how others listen to you, and sometimes the way you perform at the job.As a little girl, I use to be embarrassed to talk to people because of my speech problem. Whenever I spoke, people stared at me crazy and laughed at the face expression I made when trying to pronounce certain words.

As I got older, my stuttering wasn't as bad and I realized that every time I wasn't feeling scared or thinking about me stuttering, I wouldn't stutter at all or it wasn't that bad.So, If you could decrease your stammering by one notch, I bet you would feel better about yourself. I've learned that people who stutter want to get into certain emotional states of mind and that causes them to begin stuttering because it acts like a trigger.

Another cause of stuttering is a neurogenic ailment caused by signaling disruptions between the brain and the nerves and muscles used for forming speech. Neurogenic stuttering may develop because of a stroke or other type of brain injury.Other forms of stuttering are psychogenic, caused by the mental activity of the brain. At one time it was thought that stuttering was mostly psychogenic, brought on by emotional traumas and problems, but it is now known that this is true only in a small number of cases. Psychogenic stuttering can occur in a person who has experienced some ordeal or severe stress. The stutterer may develop emotional problems and fears surrounding speech as a result of his stuttering.Researchers know that stuttering can run in families and it may have a genetic component. No gene has been isolated yet that causes stuttering.
