If learning how to stop stammering appeals to you, then this article is exactly what you have been looking for. Let me tell you, I know all too well what it's like to suffer from a stammer, otherwise known as a stutter in the UK. I had this issue for many years, and it can really affect your confidence, as well as a whole host of other things.

I guess for people who speak fluently, they just don't know what stammerers go through. To them, they look at a stammerer, and see someone who struggles with speaking. Well, I think this type of speech problem is like an iceberg. What everyone else sees is only a fraction of the problem. When I stuttered, my confidence was at rock bottom, and felt very unhappy with where I was in life.I also used to shy away from large social gatherings, or places where I would have to speak a lot, or speak louder than normal, such as clubs. Often, I would simply decide to stay in at home by myself, than go out and have fun partying with my friends, all because I was terrified of stuttering like crazy, and people looking at me like I was some sort of freak.
The abnormal behaviors that are connected to your stammering takes more effort to change, but it's very effective in self-therapy. These are behaviors that includes prolongations, repetitions and blocks (primary) and also loss of eye contact, jerking with the head, and the use of filler words, such as "ah" and "you know" (secondary). These are behaviors that you need to take control over.
Let me give an example. To stop stammering while you talk to a superior, try and gather your thoughts before you speak. Maintain eye contact and speak slowly and clearly. And pay attention to your speech patterns, especially the use of filler words. In fact, the road down to stop stammering can be reduced to two things: changing your mental attitude and taking control over your physical behavior. In time, you will find that your speech patterns will be normal.
