I used to have mild stuttering for a while, but recently it has become more intense. I was wondering if there was any way that I could help myself to stop stuttering without any therapist (no help at all) or any special devices (too expensive and just not into it). Please help, it really ruins my life.

well, i don't know how to stop it, but I have read or seen on news shows that while singing people usually don't stutter. Maybe if you learn to put some sort of rhythm to your words that may help. There was something else I saw, but I am not sure that I remember it correctly and not fully...something to with hearing; it seems like they had ear plugs in or something like that. Try doing a search for that and see what you come up with...wish i could remember more, but i know it was helping the boy who was doing it. It was something in his ear...when he took it out he would stutter again, but put it back and it would stop. It really was amazing. Good Luck

Several of my uncles and cousins stuttered and only one lived where he could go to a speech therapist who specialized in stuttering. He found his therapist through the Stuttering Foundation. He also used one of their books and got the others to use it after it helped him. The Foundation's book that helped all of my relatives overcome their stuttering is "Self Therapy for the Stutterer" which you can get from the Foundation or at some public libraries.

Stutteringhelp.org is the site for The Stuttering Associaton of America. They have many self-help publications at a reasonable cost.

slowing your speech down is a good way or practise speaking with your hand cupped behind your ear so you bend it forward a bit then it acts like a megaphone kind of and you can hear youself better. also i would suggest surfing the net..bet you can finds heaps on there. best wishes.

Practice saying "He strikes his fists against a post, but still insists he sees the ghost.". There are other sentences you can use, but that one came to mind. Don't ask me why.

Try to gather your thoughts and words before you speek. When you do start to speek, speek slowly.
