Speech Courses For People Who Stutter
Posted: February 1st, 2010 | Category: Women's InterestI found life with a stutter extremely frustrating as at times I could speak very well. I could talk to my partner without too many problems however could hardly speak a word when chatting to her family.
I was at a loss to comprehend why I could speak free from this speech impediment to person A but that I could not talk fluently to person B. I did attended various forms of stammering treatments but to no avail.
I read many books about speech imediments, achieving fluency and about how to stop stammering, about a potential stammering cure and spoke to many speech therapists. From what I read and from what I was told, I was made to believe that I was unable to live a stuttering-free life as it suggested you are unable to eradicate a stutter. This was not really the form of stammering advice that I was looking for; I wanted specialised therapy etc.
This is a very negative attitude, however I could not really believe what I was hearing and reading as I knew I could talk very well at times.
I then was fortunate enough to watch Bruce Willis being interviewed on the television. He stated that he had had a stutter which had started when he was a young boy, however he had managed to achieve fluency when he was a late teenager. I felt inspired and then decided that the time had come when I needed to try to also achieve total fluency.
After nearly a year of working very hard and with the help of watching a seventy minute DVD that I purchased from The How To Stop Stuttering Centre I was able to achieve fluency. I now have a much more fulfilling life and I also have a successful career selling front doors.
Stuttering can be overcome with hard work and a lot of desire; if I can do it then so could you.
