The causes of stuttering and stammering are often due to mental anxiety. Stuttering that is caused by anxiety can even be overcome through self-help.
Stuttering, anxiety about stuttering ( stuttering anxiety ), lalophobia, glossophobia, verbal problems and stammering are, in many cases, just like the fear of public speaking or speech anxiety, a fear of speaking to others or to strangers, a fear of failure, exam anxiety, speech fright, shyness etc., merely mental inhibitions, which have arisen through a strict upbringing or through oppression.
Speaking with the speech tools
Speaking serves mainly to express thoughts, information and communications. Speaking with the speech tools takes place subconsciously automatically. As soon as we think of something and want to express it, the speech act occurs without conscious intervention. However, if we are aiming to hold something back, then the speech flow is interrupted. Speech becomes jerky, stuttered and uncertain.
Self-conscious people feel subconsciously that other people can easily see through them if they look the latter in the face whilst speaking. They feel then that others can notice that they are holding back and hiding their true emotions. And this increases their nervousness and makes them even more self-conscious than they already are. If someone watches their mouth as they speak, they begin to stammer and to stutter.
Just how far such a false and unnatural approach can reach, can be seen in people who stutter.
Those who stutter are of the view – and this is where their upbringing has to take the blame – that speaking takes place solely with the speech organs and this comprises consciously forming individual letters and from these building up words and sentences. However, the conscious efforts at speech of people who stutter are bound to fail as this view is false and unnatural. The speech procedure takes place in all of its individual functions, such as building words and sentences, fully automatically in the subconscious. Merely the content and meaning of that which is spoken arises out of conscious thought.
Should a person who stutters learn that speaking is a livelier complete expression, that speaking is most especially the expression of emotions and that the actual speech procedure is completely irrelevant as it takes place subconsciously automatically, then an improvement takes place immediately. The stuttering becomes less or the stuttering disappears completely on its own.
How can one now overcome stuttering or stammering systematically?
So that the self-conscious person can continue to develop freely and safely, he simply needs to overcome his social anxiety. Fortunately there is the EL-METHOD by Tony Gaschler, which has been conceived precisely to remove and overcome social anxiety systematically.
The areas of application of the EL-METHOD include:
- highly effective emotional developmental techniques
- newly-developed dynamically effective auto-suggestions (always effective, no belief or effort required)
- effective special effects from modern self-hypnosis techniques
All these efficient tools in the EL-METHOD produce a free response system, which enables poise and composure with long-term effective freedom of expression in which SPEAKING is carried out fully AUTOMATICALLY and freely.
Try it out now and experience for yourself how the EL-METHODworks.
