Stuttering/stammering

No one knows exactly what causes stuttering, although it usually begins in childhood and affects more boys than girls. It has been suggested that people who stutter or stammer have difficulty in controlling the muscles of the mouth, taking longer to form words and though this may be the physical problem there is more often than not a psychological background to the condition too. A trauma early in life or the experience of being bullied as a child can be catalysts for stuttering or stammering.

How can hypnotherapy help?
There is no one cure for stuttering or stammering and the first port of call should be your GP who can refer you to a speech therapist if necessary. However, there are many therapies that can help with the problem and hypnotherapy has proved to be effective. Often, when a client is under hypnosis there is no sign of the stammer and even though this isn't always the case, hypnotherapy can help reduce the triggers or mental blocks that lead to stammering.

Hypnosis can also take the analytical approach and delve into the reasons why the stuttering first began. Hypnotherapy then works by reprogramming the client's perception of that period or incident, desensitising memories and replacing negative thought processes with positive ones. Soon all that pent up frustration will ease and you'll be able to enjoy conversing more fluently and confidently.
