remedy for stutter?

Answer 1

I have stuttered since I was little and I have tried everything. I have taught myself how not to stutter. I have gotten a lot better so I do not need these particular methods, but I will tell you what helped me. I used to count before answering the phone. Like 1,2,3, then hello. It helped my brain to focus on the counting not the stuttering and I would use a mirror when I answered the phone (like at work because I would smile when I answered the phone, that always works for me). If I can't think of a certain word, I get stuck on that word, I exchange it for something else. Otherwise I become frustrated. I have practiced myself over and over how to talk. This year has actually been the first year I have talked in front of a group of people. I have always hated being called on to read or have a group stare at you. I can understand your plight. It is frustrating and something that is hard to work on, but if you take your time, even get out a few books on stuttering (there is an association for us), it will help you.

It certainly helped me.

Good luck.

Speech therapies are a must. You will control your speech and understand it more. But for me the main remedy was to overcome fear of actually stuttering and fear itself. It has not gone completely, but I am on a good way. You have to realize that stuttering might not ever disappear from your life and have to stop being angry at yourself. I have been stuttering since I was 14 and I am 32 now. Trust me, I have gone through hell, but these things only made me stronger. My speech is ok now, although is not 100%. But who's is?? It will be the same with you. Concentrate on what you are good at and what you want to achieve in your life. You are 20, your future is bright. All the best! Stop losing time with sad thoughts. ;-)

"Self Therapy for the Stutterer" published by The Stuttering Foundation (www.stutteringhelp.org) is what helped several of my family members overcome stuttering. One uncle went to a speech therapist who specialized in treating stuttering at the same time that he worked through the book. It is not a book to just sit and read; it is to be thoroughly worked through step by step. The Foundation has referrals for specialists as well as a toll free helpline.

Usually, stuttering can come from a person's brain thinking faster than the mouth can express. Here's a tip: take your time when talking and ennunciate each word. This lets your brain think and process.

Ask a doctor for some advice, he knows you best. But, singing could help. It gives your brain something else to think about besides how you are talking.
