Telesales stutterer, 31M, UK

[sapmi]

Hi Guys

I'm 31 years old from the UK. I work in TELESALES and I stutter! Unfortunately these last few months, it has got worse.

Help!!

Any heard of the control breath flow technique to treat this? Anyone know of any good techniques I can use to combat my blockages, let me know!!

First of all let me say that if you are doing tellesales and stutter you have some guts.

I would read Asif's breathing threads on this site - Breathing 101 and 102 - they helped me a lot.

The breathing and slowing down when I talk has helped me a lot.

Thanks for the reply Gary,

There I times I don't stutter at all. But other times like now I find it difficult to say my company name and "how do you do"!! It is just so bloody frustrating!!!!! :mad: :mad:

People think I am nervous. I couldn't give a S***t, just a word or some words don't wanna come out of my mouth!!

I'll look at that breathing 101 thing.

People always think I'm nervous on the phone but I'm really just struggling to speak.

I used to be a very mild stutterer but it has gotten worse.

I work at a college and answer the phone the best I can but I don't really say everything I'm supposed to when I answer - just the bare minimum.

Don't you find that you ARE a little nervous when you start stammering on the telephone? I find that the quality of mypeech is directly proportional to the amount of anxiety I feel.

Some times I go through periods where I just on't care a bit about anything and I don't feel so stressed. My speech is not 100% but when I really mess up I don't care enough to get stressed out more and my speech stays at the same level of fluency.

Is that true for you?
