Stuttering is a speech problem that is quite common in children and can continue into adulthood. It is estimated that around 1 in 20 children will struggle with stuttering at some point. Around 4 in 5 of those affected will grow out of it and it’s estimated that one in 100 adults will continue to stutter.
Stuttering is a physical condition, and if you are worried about having a stutter you should speak to your physician in the first instance. He or she can refer you to a speech therapist if necessary, who can advise on different therapies to alleviate the stutter.
Some evidence suggests that hypnotherapy has been found to decrease ones stutter. However the results are anything but conclusive.
Hypnotherapy can help train the mind to not trip over the most common words that cause you to stutter.
If you decide that you would like to seek the help of a hypnotherapist for your stutter, phone to have a talk with them first. Find out if they have experience of working with stutterers, if stutter therapy is one of their specialisms, and generally make sure that you are satisfied with their approach.
