Self Improvement Guide

There are many types of stutter therapy including stutter cure courses or traditional speech therapy. I have overcome a stutter and in this article I describe what it is like to be fluent for me.

I am now able to order food and drink for example, without fear of a stutter, speak on the telephone and am able to enjoy socialising. I have become a more positive person, life is no longer the struggle it once used to be. I appreciate my speech compared with the average fluent person, who does not realise how lucky they are. Some would even say that I talk too much, but this is something I will never apologise for – when I had a stutter I hardly spoke at all.

As a person with a stutter, I seemed to accept second best. At the age of sixteen I left high school; not because I was not clever enough to stay on for further education but because I had had enough of people at school mocking my speech impediment. The stutter also affected my ability to meet girls as I basically did not have the confidence to talk to them. My stuttering mind convinced me that I could do no better. I was unhappy where I worked, but just accepted it; I did not feel able to put myself through the interview process again.

I now run The How To Stop Stammering Centre where I run one-to-one speech therapy courses to help people to achieve fluency. As well as these courses I also offer a variety of self-help options including the ever popular seventy minute DVD, an audio book and an e-book. All of these self-help options include full descriptions of the techniques which I successfully used to overcome my own speech impediment.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, I also have a special offers page on the blog which has details of the current discounts that are available.

I look forward to helping you to overcome your speech impediment.
