??Although it does not pose any serious threats to one's health, curing stuttering is of utmost importance to one suffering from it. Why? It is because a person with a stutter cannot live a normal life. He will constantly feel self-conscious and avoid situations where he will have to speak to other people. Even simple tasks such as ordering at a restaurant seem daunting. But there is hope. Here are a few tips on how to get rid of a stutter.
The first step is to make sure that the condition is correctly diagnosed. Stuttering is often confused with stammering and speech disfluency. Make certain that the condition has been accurately diagnosed so that proper treatment can be given.
Once stuttering has been diagnosed, you can choose a method or a combination of methods for curing stuttering. Consider your priorities. Speech therapy is pricey and time-intensive but has been proven effective. It may, however, take a while before you experience the results. Medications, on the other hand, may be less expensive and may give faster results. But the effectiveness of this method has not been proven and there is also the possibility of side effects.
You might want to attempt curing stuttering by subjecting yourself to one of those software programs that claim to help a person get rid of his or her stutter. There are also anti-stuttering devices available that are supposed to improve one's fluency by altering how he hears his own voice. If you think that these might work for you, try them out.
Most of the time, stuttering is linked to abnormal breathing patterns. If such is the case, learning correct breathing techniques will prove beneficial. This method entails intense concentration and lots of practice.
For some people, stuttering is triggered by social stresses or certain physical conditions that cause stress or unease. If this is the case, work on reducing your levels of anxiety. Avoid places or social situations that stress you out. Create a home and/or work environment that is comfortable and tension-free. When you find yourself having to speak at a social gathering, take a few deep breaths and try to speak in an unhurried manner so that the tendency to stutter is diminished.
The key to curing stuttering is belief in one's self and one's ability to overcome the condition. Be determined and keep your goal in mind. Don't give up. Practice, practice, practice.
While you are trying to cure this condition, joining a support group or simply having a network of supportive friends and family members around will help you tremendously. These people will be there to encourage you to continue on when you feel like giving up and will be there to comfort you or cheer you up when you're feeling down. The probability of a person succeeding in his or her attempts in curing stuttering is greatly affected by the amount of support he or she receives from loved ones.
Curing stuttering and stammering is not impossible. Most people just choose to ignore it hoping it will go away, but it does not.
