Online StoreStop Stammering on Your Own
To modify your feelings, perceptions and attitudes, you have to lessen, if not eliminate, your fears of public speaking, of mingling in social circles, and of being the subject of ridicule. In other words, you need to overcome your avoidance of situations where you will be expected to speak, whether as part of a group or as the guest speaker in a national convention.
As a matter of fact, you need to make a real effort, as often as you can, to speak out. To stop stammering, more often than not practice is a great way. As an example, use one of your daily activities like coffee break at work, as an opportunity to practice your speech patterns.
You can do a number of small things. Even asking a stranger for directions will help easing your anxiety about having to speak to people. And if you are loving yourself enough and have self-confidence, you have come a long way towards complete recovery!
The abnormal behaviors that are connected to your stammering takes more effort to change, but it’s very effective in self-therapy. You have to be familiar to the primary and secondary behaviors that occurs every time you stammer.
Included in these behaviors are blocks, repetitions and prolongations(primary) as well as use of filler words like “ah” and “you know”, head jerks and loss of eye contact (secondary). What you need to do is taking control over these behaviors.
For example, to stop stammering when you are talking to someone, don’t just speak out. Before speaking, gather your thoughts. Look him in the eyes all the way, let your words out clearly and slowly. And remember to take complete control over your speech patterns, particularly when it comes to using 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.
