How I overcame my stuttering-stammering

At the age of twenty two after gaining promotion to team leader at the Insurance company where I then was working I decided the time had arrived to try to overcome the stammer which had plagued my life.

From the age of sixteen two speech therapists had told me that as I stammered in adult life I would stammer for life which as you can imagine was very depressing for me.

This new position of team leader involved conducting interviews, presentations etc which needed a fluent speech. I decided to speak to my parents about the stammer, explaining to them what a struggle my life had been.

They were shocked and even though they were aware of the stammer, they certainly were not aware of the full implications and problems it had caused me. I always spoke fairly well around them as I felt comfortable in their presence.

My father and I then had an in depth discussion at the way forward and we decided that I should no longer substitute words, I had to concentrate on fluent people, trying to work out where and what they were doing differently from me.

This was a difficult time, I was stammering a lot more as I was no longer swapping words, I had to explain to my friends what I was trying to achieve and that it was now time that I ordered my own drinks. Explaining this was very awkward and embarrassing. My friends were very good to me though and vowed to support me.

What followed was six months of hard work with me feeling at times that I was hitting my head against a brick wall, as a lot of the things I thought would work didn't!

Finally I found what I now call the last piece of the jigsaw, which enabled all the other aspects I had learnt to all fit into place. A jigsaw isn't a jigsaw with one piece missing: These discoveries made what I know call the "speech rules".

At this point I did not stop stammering completely but each time I stammered I knew why I had. It was now a case of a severe amount of practice in making the speech rules natural, so that I would not have to keep constantly thinking about my speech, and learning from the mistakes that I was making. Within three months it became natural.

This as you can imagine was a great relief and achievement proving that stammering can be overcome.
