In order to change your attitude, perceptions and feelings you need to try and eliminate – or at least lessen – the fear you have of speaking in public, of social interaction, and the fear of being the Fool. To put it differently, you have to quit avoiding those situations where you might have to speak, either in a group or as a speaker in a convention.

As a matter of fact, you need to make a real effort, as often as you can, to speak out. To stop stammering, more often than not practice is a great way. As an example, use one of your daily activities like coffee break at work, as an opportunity to practice your speech patterns.

You can do a number of small things. Even asking a stranger for directions will help easing your anxiety about having to speak to people. And if you are loving yourself enough and have self-confidence, you have come a long way towards complete recovery!

The abnormal behaviors that are connected to your stammering takes more effort to change, but it’s very effective in self-therapy. You have to be familiar to the primary and secondary behaviors that occurs every time you stammer.

These behaviors include repetitions, prolongations and blocks (primary) as well as sudden loss of eye contact, head jerks and use of filler words like ah and you know (secondary). You need to exert conscious control over these behaviors.

For example, to stop stammering when you are talking to someone, don’t just speak out. Before speaking, gather your thoughts. Look him in the eyes all the way, let your words out clearly and slowly. And remember to take complete control over your speech patterns, particularly when it comes to using filler words.

Actually, all methods to stop stammering can boil down to two important ways: Modifying your mental attitude and controlling the physical behavior. Soon, you will have normal speech patterns.
