Are you seeking a cure for stammering? Do you yearn to be able to speak without the fear of getting stuck on a word? Does having a stammer frustrate the hell out of you? Would you do almost anything to achieve fluency? I am a person who lived life with a stammer for eighteen years. After trying many different forms of stammering therapy, I finally managed to achieve fluency when I was aged twenty-two. In this article I am going to write about how I went about achieving fluency.
Firstly, it is important to stress that it is not easy to overcome a stammer; there is no magic pill that can make it disappear. To achieve fluency takes hard work, determination and a lot of guts. Yes it can be achieved but you have to work at it.
My own stammer started affecting my speech when I was just four years of age. The speech impediment badly affected my childhood as it put a huge dent in my self-confidence and made socialising very difficult.
The only form of therapy for the stammer seemed to be traditional speech therapy. This proved less than successful, I am not going to go on about it too much as it makes me quite annoyed but lets just say that I attended speech therapy for fourteen years and that my stammer was even worse at the end of this period!
In my teens and early twenties I looked and participated into alternative forms of therapy. I would have literally attempted anything in my quest to achieve fluency. I had been told, by one of those speech therapists, that you are unable to overcome a stammer, however I ignored this information. What did they know about stammering in any case? Not that much!
At the age of twenty-two I decided to attempt to find my own cure for stammering, it was a long road but eventually it did lead to fluency. Phew!
