WHAT IS STAMMERING OR WHAT IS STUTTERING?
Stammering is an interrupted way of speaking, blocking of speech or repetition of the same letter or word. If the normal flow of speech is hampered in any way, it is called stammering.
Stammering may be in the form of mind block, hesitation, blocking, taking more time to utter any word, repeating any particular starting sound or the word itself, elongating words more than normal and making forceful sounds due to unnecessary excessive exhalation.
It is an in-coordination among respiratory organs, vocal cords and articulatory mechanisms. Stammering is speech which is hesitant, stumbling, tense or jerky to the extent that it causes anxiety to the speaker.

STAMMERING vs STUTTERING?
Stammering and stuttering are two words for the same thing. In the UK, the word stammering is used and in the US, stuttering is used. In India, both stammering and stuttering are used and can be used interchangeably.
WHAT IS NOT STAMMERING?
Incorrect pronunciation of the words is often mistaken to be stammering. But it is not stammering. It is called lisping.
Someone who cannot speak at all is not stammering. Those who stammer speak fluently but sometimes get stuck while speaking or repeat the words.
NATURE OF STAMMERING OR STUTTERING
Although the basic factors for getting a stammering problem are 60% to 70% the same, no two people stammer or stutter in the same way. The nature of stammering always varies from person to person, time to time. It may increase or decrease drastically according to circumstances, people, differences in mindset, change of mood, etc.
It is never the same at all times because the extent of stammering depends on one’s mindset, level of self confidence, specific feared situations, whether things are going as per person’s expectations, etc. Even with the same set of people and identical situations, sometimes you speak better and at other times you tend to stammer more.
The main problem is that when stammering comes frequently and severely, your speech mechanism is in a very disorderly state. For speaking fluently for a long time, all the speech muscles and organs along with regular inflow and outflow of breathing should function smoothly at the same time.
Even a small in-coordination of one of the organs may result in disfluency of speech. You have to go through a hard struggle to utter the words. But the fact is that the more the struggling behaviour to communicate, the more is the problem.
Sometimes stammering or stuttering vanishes for a short span of time and again comes back in the usual form. Along with the normal problems, when many facial distortions, secondary abnormal symptoms, problems with specific conscious words, etc. occur, to speak in a normal and spontaneous flow remains a distant dream.
The good news is that STAMMERING IS NOT A DISEASE. There is nothing wrong with your tongue, throat or any other speech organs.
Stammering or stuttering is purely a bad habitual and psychological problem and any bad habit can be cured with the right approach to tackle the problem.
CAN WE CALL
AND EXPLAIN
ALL THE DETAILS?
IS STAMMERING A DISEASE?
Let me clarify the fact that ‘STAMMERING IS NOT A DISEASE’. It is a psychological and a bad habitual problem. Stammering or stuttering is psychological in the sense that it is there only in the mind and not in any of the speech organs. Your speech organs are absolutely fine.
The bad habitual problem comes because of fear, nervousness, excitement, tension and anticipation of problems in the mind and the person tries to speak in a faulty manner.
Consider the fact that when you talk alone, you talk fluently. Most of the time, you have no problem talking with your close family members or even some friends. You can also sing perfectly. If it was a physical defect, the problem of speech would have been always, everywhere irrespective of the situation, place or person.
The problem lies in the mind, not in the mouth
The way you think makes all the difference. If you allow negative thoughts and thoughts anticipating stammering more and more, then the problem becomes very complicated and it gets deep-rooted in your mind that stammering is not curable.
Along with this, avoidance to speak, always staying in the shell, depressed mood, negative and pessimistic thoughts increase the problem rapidly. When this state of mind continues for several years, the entire speech mechanism is in a disorderly and disorganized state. Negative and pessimistic thoughts start commanding your mind.
All this definitely makes a simple problem a very complicated life-long problem.
WHAT CAUSES STAMMERING or STUTTERING?
Stammering develops mostly from the early age of a person. It is caused by multiple factors and their interactions. Some of the factors that can lead to the development of stammering are :
And many more factors can lead to stammering.
Whatever may be your reason for developing stammering or stuttering, it occurs now due to uncontrolled excitement, tension, fear, nervousness, hesitation, anticipation of blocking, faulty way of breathing, very fast speaking habit, lack of confidence and courage to speak.
HOW DOES STAMMERING OR STUTTERING DEVELOP?
In most of the cases, stammering or stuttering develops from an early age (from 3 to 10 years). Neither does it start by birth nor is there any physical defect. A child learns to speak normally first and then may start to develop stammering.
A number of factors are responsible for its occurrence, some of which are given in the previous section. Stammering usually starts with minor problems but gradually complicates due to certain circumstances, ignorance, an unconducive environment or wrong parenting.
When a child begins to stammer, the family members and others draw the attention of the child to it and make the child conscious of their disfluency. The child, at this stage, is not mature enough to deal with this sudden problem and the constant awareness of the difficulty makes it even worse.
Different advice and guidance from an array of people makes the child confused as to what to follow and what not. The child feels guilty and helpless if the parents are over-anxious, sad and dejected. The problem gets triggered if they discuss these problems in front of the child.
So the child starts hiding it by avoiding, substituting, hesitating and the confidence level dips down gradually. There is a lack of co-ordination between thought and speech as the child is battling in his mind to cover up his problem.
Fear, nervousness and tension develop with the constant anticipation of blocking. Slowly the problem becomes so acute that the child becomes branded as a ‘STAMMERER’ or ‘STUTTERER’ for life.
Naturally depression, dejection and inferiority complex encircles the child. Being small, they are unable to express their feelings. They want to express so many things but pull back because of the fear and anticipation of the problem.
They are caught in the vicious cycle of being subjected to teasing, mockery, humiliation and under-estimation. Their negative beliefs and pessimistic thoughts get pampered.
With the passage of time, the initially minor problem worsens and the child loses confidence in himself and believes that their problem cannot be cured. All these things which start in childhood continue to be a lifelong problem.
But you don’t have to suffer any more because stammering is completely curable at any age
HOW TO CURE STAMMERING?
IS STAMMERING GENETIC, HEREDITARY OR BY BIRTH?
Stammering or stuttering generally develops in childhood, STAMMERING IS NOT BY BIRTH. A child learns to speak in a gradual manner. First the child listens to sounds and learns to respond to them. Then he tries to imitate and produce sounds which develop into short words and eventually into sentences.
If an elder in the family stammers (may be a parent, brother or sister or even a friend), after listening to or by imitating that person, a child may develop the bad habit of Stammering. Sometimes two or three generations of people who stammer are found in a family because of this reason

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Excellent communication skill is an absolute and vital necessity to reach great heights of success, be it in your education, friends circle, career, interviews, job, service, business, etc.
No matter how learned or wise you are, whatever be the extent of your knowledge or how innovative the ideas filled in your mind, you will be totally powerless, completely ineffective and absolutely handicapped if you cannot transmit your ideas and communicate your thoughts to others in a firm, crisp, clear and convincing manner.
Most successful people possess the quality to communicate according to the need of the situation and market themselves and their ideas well.
When a child goes for admission to any school, the interview process is a very important part of selection. If the teachers and the principal come to know about the child’s stammering, they might refuse to give admission to the child, despite good marks or academic performance.
The school authorities or other parents may also refuse a seat to the child, thinking that other children should not imitate and learn to stammer. Some children who stammer may even be given a Transfer Certificate because of their problem.
Even if the child manages to get through admissions, the teachers and classmates make their life hell with unjust punishments, taunts, teasing, humiliation and social isolation.
Speech is the most vital skill of communication for people of all ages. They are a medium of communication and reflect the cultural and environmental influences of your personality.
In this modern era, effective public speaking acts as a bonanza and makes a remarkable impact on your success and failure. When you cultivate the ability to communicate well, it will be your greatest asset and add effectiveness to your professional and personal life.
In spite of getting excellent education and other facilities, unless you take prompt steps to cure your stammering everything will be wasted. So please make stammering cure as your first priority since the benefits of a transformed stammering-free life is priceless.
So the biggest mistake one usually makes is to wait for stammering to get cured on its own naturally. As a result of this wrong belief, a stammering person’s biggest part of life is finished.

Do not make the mistake of not joining the course because of shyness. When you join the course and interact with everybody automatically you will gain courage to mingle with others and such feelings of shame will go away.
There is no age limit for the cure. Cure is for all ages. Enjoy the rest of your life by speaking fluently and confidently and feel the magic of stammering-free life.
STATUS OF PEOPLE WHO STUTTER OR STAMMER
It is very unfortunate that the status of people who stammer is extremely pathetic and painful. They are being subjected to teasing, humiliation, underestimation, neglect and ill-treatment everywhere. Sometimes they are ignored, made fun of and even tortured.
In society, people misunderstand them, do not respect them and people who stammer are exploited in various ways. They are often victims of cheating, bullying and injustice because they cannot protest. They stereotype people who stammer as dull, foolish, unsmart, incompetent, timid and other similar negative things.
In short, the people who stammer are very much deprived of leading a normal and respectable life. They are leading a life full of frustration, depression and hopelessness, wandering through life aim-less and goal-less.
In reality, people who stammer are more intelligent, creative, imaginative and have a fast thought process. It is frustrating to see them underachieving and being under-rewarded compared to their skills and talents.
Moreover they face such discouragement that they feel unaccepted in their own families and friend circles. Their relatives and friends may often try to hide the fact from the society that they are related to them or even know them.
Since that love, support and encouragement in life is lost, they are left with just loneliness, unhappiness, hopelessness, helplessness, frustration and feelings of worthlessness, which can all lead to suicide attempts.
People who stammer are not just discriminated against by their family, friends or society, but also by themselves. They view themselves as “diseased”, “handicapped”, incapable, worthless and undeserving of good things in life because of their stammering problem and their repeated failures to utilize opportunities and shine.
STAMMERING CURE CHALLENGE
Let us come together to take up the challenge of curing your stammering and making your life a happy, confident and successful one.
I am speaking to you from my heart and informing you how I can help you cure your stammering. My doing this will save you from falling prey to people who want to take advantage of your situation of hopelessness and helplessness due to stammering and your desperate need to get rid of it.
Our struggle today is not just to survive. It is the struggle to live with dignity. The basic dignity of being a human being who can speak is lost when we stammer. When we stammer we tend to lose our self respect and also become the laughing stock for people who don’t understand that we are not doing it intentionally.
Due to stammering, numerous students are not able to focus on their studies. Countless youth are unemployed not because they are not qualified, but because despite their qualifications, they are not able to express themselves without stammering in front of people. Neither can they get a job nor can they run a business effectively.
Such people often forget about ever getting married because they feel nobody will accept them with their stammering. After facing discouragement, rejection and feeling worthless at being laughed at and mocked at, mental illness and depression starts.
Their frustration also builds up within because despite knowing many things they cannot say it. Others who don’t know as much as them get ahead leaving them behind despite having worked harder. The continued frustration and sadness thickens and starts engulfing the person. It even pushes them to the brink of ending their life. Enough is enough!
We don’t want people’s pity or consolation. All we are asking is to be treated as a fellow human being and be treated with the respect and dignity of a person. We don’t want people to complete our sentences. We don’t want people to speak to us in sign language as if we cannot speak. All we are asking is just a little patience and opportunity to say what we want to say even if we take a little extra time than normal.
Together you and I can put an end to this torture. Together we can talk like everybody by curing your stammering and making you a fluent speaker. The society that had cornered you for your speaking ability will now start appreciating you for your biggest strength, i.e. your clear fluent and confident speaking ability.

You can finally say “Yes, I can do it. Yes, I did it.” This will be your perfect answer and comeback to society and to those people who had once neglected you and declared you worthless.
Thousands of people who have attended the course at Stammering Cure Centre have taken up the challenge with me and cured their stammering and showed the world that they can do it.

This is not all. They have now learnt to dream bigger and better in life after curing stammering and freeing themselves from the shackles. I am certain that you too can cure your stammering and achieve all your dreams after taking up the challenge with my guidance.
