Hiding the stuttering means surrendering to the fear and shame, and this seems only to feed the cold darkness.Using the Share tool allows you to share a link to the chapter of a book via your favourite social media tools. Unfortunately, the pressure increases each time we do this. If we are successful, because we have hidden it and they didn’t catch on, what have we won? Nothing, because we’re then forced to continue playing the game on every meeting with this person until the truth is at last revealed. Of course, it’s not shameful and horrible to them that connotation is primarily in our minds. We’ve all done these things in the vain hope of keeping this person from finding out the shameful and horrible truth that we stutter. Stuttering thrives on our fears and failures, and stuttering wins every time we meet someone and immediately start playing the game “hide the stutter.” I’ve done this, and I’ll bet that you’ve probably played the game yourself: substituting words, changing what you’re saying, not saying everything you want to say, and using all those little tricks you’ve learned to “disguise” your stuttering.

We may run away or lapse instinctually back into our old behavior patterns, but let’s view these as opportunities to learn, to evaluate, and to develop strategies for how to do things more constructively the next time, rather than concluding with a failure and setting the stage for yet another failure in the future.Ĭourage: The greatest enemy to stuttering is courage. Making changes in our stuttering behaviors isn’t easy: otherwise, we wouldn’t still be stuttering! We will encounter setbacks.
Secondly, let’s be willing to forgive ourselves when we occasionally fail in our attempts to make changes.
While we will probably always have to live with the tendency to have our speech fragment into stuttering, there’s much we can do to minimize its effects. So let’s start by forgiving ourselves for stuttering just as others must forgive themselves for perceived shortcomings. We may be more sensitive and susceptible to communication pressures. Nearly everyone’s speech becomes halting and broken with adequate pressure, but for us, it takes less pressure to make us stumble. Much research indicates that we possess a speech production mechanism that tends to fall apart under lesser amounts of stress and communication pressure than the average speaker. Science is still unsure what causes stuttering to begin. We are too hard on ourselves, which is a very normal human trait. Forgiveness: We who stutter are our own worst critics.
