i've been thinking that stuttering is just a habbit, that grows on us.
i had to do a speech for school 2 weeks ago, and i dredded it. i had my speech ready, and i had to go last out of everyone. i got up and i spoke fluently. although there was one part were i broke my train of thought, and had a block.
before the speech i was putting myself in a state of mind were i would breath, and make sure that i say each word loudly. as i was doing my speech i found that the breathing in deeply was not something that i did alot, stuttering was the thing that i had a habbit with. but i broke through and changed that habbit of stuttering by doing something differnt, which was breathing in deeper.
because i was going so well i let my mind slip and i forgot to breath in deep enough, and i went back to the old habbit, and i had a block on the word "when". so i substituted and finished the speech without any more screw ups.
i think that we get in the habbit of stuttering that when we never think of doing the basic's. to us, stuttering is what we do best, its a habbit. we need to break the habbit and replace it with deeper breathing and other simple techniques which work, we just need to get into the habbit.
i hope someone will get something useful from my random dribble ;)
