Dont let them get to you mate, i grew up with a stammer also, bugger them all, im 26 and still stammer when im stressed, but the older you'll get, the more you learn to control it, but it doesn't make us different from anybody else, we stand from the crowd, wich isnt a bad thing 😊 and remember if your feeling down, it could be worse, be happy you have your eyesight, both arms and legs awell as your breathing.. in other words we are alive and well, keep your chin high 👍✌️
People can research this to the end of time. It does not matter to me personally. The only thing that matters is if something doesn’t work then i need to change something, and keep trying new things till something helps and works for me. People stutter in hundreds of ways and there’s hundreds of causes , and combinations of things. And it constantly changes even with myself. If a person has been in control even for a minute or five minutes in their life they did it once and they can do it again if they do exactly what they did then. I am convinced of this. The battle is not going back to the failed speaking habits that you have done hundreds of thousands of times and instead use the new process that has worked for you in the past. The whole war and battle is ourselves, it’s all in our mind it’s all ahead game we play with our self.
I use to have a very bad stutter, I mean a bad one, I learnt a few tricks on my own, the only way you know I have a stutter is if I allow it, I am still on my way there😎!! To those who have a stutter, you should love yourself first and remember the fear of you stuttering it’s what makes you stutter😀😀
As a Clinical Hypnotherapist, I have worked with PWS. I think if you can get to the cause of your stutter, you can get to the cure. I have found the cause of 100% of my clients. Stuttering is caused by a traumatic event between the ages of 2-7. Any thing from a dog barking in a child's face, to a child seeing someone get shot! This is the spectrum that I have worked with. A lot of people can't remember what caused their stutter. But the subconcious remembers everything. So with Hypnotherapy it is easy to get to the traumatic event. Now that you understand what caused the stutter, now you can let it go from your mind and body. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your time.
Thank you so much for this, I am exactly like Felicity. You have to own your stammer and accept it which isn’t easy may I point out. Please keep these coming . Thanks :)
As someone with a stammer I joined Police as a Police Constable in 1973. I followed my dad into the job. He was a recently retired senior Police Officer. The bullying I received was not stop. I resigned after three years. I would definitely not advise anyone with a stammer to join the Police; unless attitudes within the job have drastically changed After leaving the Police I went to University and intended going into teaching. At end of first year I went to Professor of Education and explained about my stammer. His reply "It could be a problem" No advice or help shocked me. I completed my degree and taught in Further Education college as a temporary lecturer for six years. Many regrets
Thank you for sharing Robert. It's a shame to read of your negative experience in the Police. At ASC, we're on a mission to raise awareness about stammering within all lines of work and will take your comments onboard. With that being said, congratulations on completing your degree and getting through.
Respect Robbie. My son was a manager at Deloitte until few months ago(Now Commercial Finance Manager with a large drink's manufacturer listed on London Stock Exchange). I know the pressures you are under. As someone who has stammered since a very young age I haven't coped well with my stammer. If I could pass on advice to anyone with a stammer I would say be open and do not try to hide your stammer. I did this and unfortunately I have built a wall of anxiety around myself, resulting in many problems
Full of admiration for Dan. I was a Police Officer in Scotland for three years. Unfortunately my stammer held me back and I eventually resigned. My dad had retired from the Police three years before I joined and although he didn't really want me to join I felt I had let him down when I resigned. That feeling has stayed with me for more years than I care to mention
Hi Julia. As a lifetime stammerer of 69, I admire your courage in creating this video, something which I have yet to accomplish. I have found that my stammer amazingly has become more manageable over the last 5 years something which I could never have imagined previously after so many years of hopelessly feeling that I was a lion in chains because of my stammer. I attribute my recent unexpected progress to listening to videos on UTube of inspirational speakers such as Tony Robbins and Brian Tracey and forcing myself to attend local Bournemouth property meetings. Please believe me when I say that our speech can inexplicably improve at any time in our lives without us even understanding why even when someone like me has lost all hope of ever becoming even remotely fluent. Well done again Julia, you are a hero!
