To those who overcame their stuttering or on the way to recovery, please give me some advices aside from going to speech therapist to lessen and gradually overcome my stuttering. Also, please give me some books that can increase my speaking efficiency.
Last, is it true that stutters are highly intelligent? And that they stammer because their mouth cannot match the speed of their thoughts??
Thank you...

The best book that I know of is the one that helped several of my uncles and cousins who stuttered, Self Therapy for the Stutterer, available through Amazon.com and The Stuttering Foundation of America's estore. One uncle went to a speech therapist who specialized in treating stuttering and found that she used that book in her sessions.

I am not sure what you can do to help, but I have a friend that stuttered real bad, the more excited he got the worse he got. Then he found himself a girlfriend and now for some reason, he does not studder anymore. Maybe you just need to find a way to relax more.

The only thing I am sure of is this: My brother used to stutter and he was taught to stop and breath in then talk again. He is intelligent but not a genius. I don't know of any books offhand. Good Luck!!

I'm not a stutterer but I learnt in public speaking that talking slowly and learning how to breathe between your words and phrases can help a statterer dramatically.
