How to get rid of stuttering at home. Self-treatment of stuttering in children and adults How to cure stuttering in one day

As a child, I was extremely frightened and this may have become a circumstance of stuttering. Nothing in the treatment could not help. And only after many, many years (I was already a teenager), one lady suggested how to get rid of stuttering. If you are not yet ready to contact a specialist and want to get rid of stuttering on your own, then follow the described scenario, but if all of a sudden these solutions do not help you, read the article “How to get rid of stuttering at home”, which suggests other options for solving this problem.

How to get rid of stuttering yourself.

In order to treat stuttering, a lady I met recommended the following:

Don't go to school for a month.

In the first three days, do not talk, but write, scribble.

On other days of the month, sing exclusively (if you speak out, then as little as possible).

In order for me not to violate the treatment, my mother closed me alone in the apartment. And on the recommendation of good friends, she bought me a puppy. My speech improved, but sometimes, when, for example, at school they called me to the blackboard, I began to stutter again. And after that, one of the teachers suggested that I answer in writing. In the end, stuttering began to show up only when I was in a hurry to say something or was extremely anxious.

Stuttering treatment.

I am not a doctor either, but I have read a maximum of literature on the pretext of a real illness. It turns out that there is a gene that is responsible for human speech and it is inherited. It's just that he is extremely weak and stuttering is found in a child at the slightest stress. After my son started stuttering for 3 years, I remembered how I cured myself of stuttering, and therefore I took him out of kindergarten and sat at home with him myself. After treatment, the stuttering disappeared after a few months. And one more minor recommendation: during the period of treatment of stuttering in children, try not to scold the child. And completely prohibit the approach to the TV and computer.

The work of a psychologist in adjusting to existence in adolescence and treating stuttering in children can be combined. So the relevance of the perception of stuttering in children may decrease, and in a more serene and relaxed state, the problem will disappear much faster. It is necessary to show the patient that he can not worry about anything and continue the treatment calmly, relaxed. That this disease can be cured, there is no need to worry and be afraid that it will remain forever. It is recommended to visit a psychologist in parallel with the treatment. Although a powerful desire, the work of the patient himself and the support of relatives, relatives and friends from time to time work special wonders in the treatment of stuttering!

due to stuttering, I lost a lot of time of many good moments. Lost a good girl. And much more ... I even wanted to commit suicide. But somehow he held on. I graduated from school at 3k, although I knew a lot and wanted to study at 5k, but it’s good to teach when you can’t tell everything exactly ... now I think everything is interesting who I would be now if I didn’t stutter ...

Rasul, I understand you, but I’ll say not when, don’t say that whoever I was if I didn’t stutter, I also stutter for a long time, since I was 10 years old. I also finished school with a C, but although I knew more. but I don’t consider myself that I’m worse than someone else, I didn’t specifically treat it myself, but it slowly goes away on its own over the years, because I know that it doesn’t make sense to treat, in very rare cases it is treated. become a professional in something, when you are confident in yourself, then you speak normally. let's say I've been working as an accountant for 6 years and I know my job too well, and no matter who would come up, I will confidently answer any questions because I'm not afraid. overcome fear. then it will go away on its own. I'm not 100% rid of it now, but I'm talking about 85 - 90% fine.

what kind of nonsense? lost a girl because of stuttering. you lost her because of your attitude towards her or she didn’t love you, if a girl loves her sh*t you stutter or not

I thought the same thing a lot.))))) Now I am 23 years old, I have been stuttering since the 1st grade….. I can say that I have gone through everything….but I never wanted to be pitied. Faced with work, many do not want to take a stutterer to work! We need a good and competent speech ... .. most of all I worry about this! And so you can achieve everything - the main thing is to go to your goal! Everyone has their flaws….so no one is perfect in our lives!

I'm also 23 and I've been stuttering since I was 6 years old! and it was also very difficult at school, at the institute there was generally a guard, the teachers even said that I stutter on purpose, that it’s convenient for me, I need to be pitied, because. I don't know anything, etc. etc. At the age of 20, I got a job, the job was to communicate with people and I was lucky that the director of the company was my friend and she also sat with me in the office and advised people. Another manager was her friend. And when I started talking to people, then at that time the girls went about their business and automatically they didn’t care what and how I say. And after 2 months, I started talking about 40 percent better, that once my mother called us at the office and didn’t even know that I was talking to her)))

And sometimes I think, God sent me such an ordeal and why. I just remember crying for an hour. And also, during my life up to 16 years, I saw spirits, mostly from a dream, that I was not even afraid of them, they were elderly people-Spirits. Then it all stopped, at school everyone laughed at me, and most importantly, it pissed me off that they laugh at this ailment. I was not lucky in dating girls, when I was 17 years old I fell in love with one girl so much, I began to stutter more, in short my life is a real fun uh-h-h ... AND NOW I AM 25 YEARS OLD, GUYS NEVER THINK ABOUT SUICIDE, GET THIS THOUGHT OUT OF YOUR HEAD.

Hello! It is difficult to get rid of stuttering, but it is possible to minimize it, diction will become better, but for this you need to develop it. I can advise a good way for the development of speech. Communication via email: [email protected]

I've been using your method for about a year now. Stuttering immediately became less, progress is always for the better. I learned for myself that when I start to get nervous, I calm down as quickly as possible and bring my body into a calm state. Previously, it was not possible to pronounce some words, now I do it with ease, I am surprised myself. Regarding communication in a large company, it became easier for me, people became more interested in spending time with me. I wish everyone to get rid of stuttering, because it is so nice to speak expressively and with high quality.

No speech therapists will help! This is nonsense! You have to go to Church and stand nine times under the clothes of the priest! It helped me! The main thing is that you believe that everything will work out for you and you can get rid of stuttering.

I am 15 and I also stutter. Sometimes I don't stutter for a while. I envy others who do not stutter. But I heard that if you do not speak for three days, you can get rid of stuttering. But I wanted to try but didn't last even one hour. Hope it helps....

Hello!! I already stutter, for almost 6 years I finished school with good grades. But here's my problem. When I talk at home, sometimes I stutter. But I’m talking on the phone, then stuttering appears as if from fear. And when I speak quietly, calmly, my muscles are relaxed, I speak almost 97%. But when the muscles are tense, I stutter very much. They even tell me that when talking, you need to relax your muscles and then you can speak calmly, but not by 97%, but by 100%. It’s as if I rarely get it, so to speak, but if I try to speak, then everything will work out. And just sit folding, your hands, then you won’t succeed.
GUYS I AM APPEALING TO THOSE WHO STUTTER, DON'T THINK SUICIDE ETC. AND DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE LAUGHING AT YOU, JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES ON THEM AND THAT IS ALL. IF YOU DO NOT WORK AND WORK WITH YOUR SPEECH THEN STUTTERING WILL BE FOR YOUR ALL YOUR LIFE. IT IS BETTER TO GO TO A SPEECH THERAPIST, OR TO DOCTORS IF YOU CAN'T WORK AT HOME YOURSELF…..

How to get rid of stuttering: methods of psychological influence

The problem of stuttering is faced by both adults and children. Such a feature can turn into unnecessary complexes, difficulties in building a career and relationships. That is why people who are faced with a problem are struggling with the question of how to get rid of stuttering, and whether it can be done on their own.

Experts are sure that it is possible to defeat a speech defect, but for this you need to work and train all the time.

Causes of a speech defect

Why do people stutter, and how is it related to anxiety? This question is considered incredibly popular, because the causes of a speech defect have not yet been fully clarified.

Most often, such a pathology occurs due to a strong nervous shock or fright. If a baby has suffered something terrible or frightening in early childhood, this may affect his speech skills. Doctors note that the size of the problem depends on the degree of shock.

Learn about a drug that is not available in pharmacies, but which all the stars use! To strengthen the nervous system, it is quite simple.

Some people stutter only in moments of excitement, while others suffer from a pathology on a daily basis, which prevents them from establishing verbal contact with others.

Among the causes of stuttering is also called an innate predisposition. If mom and dad suffer from such a speech defect, it is likely to be detected in a child.

Perhaps the main advice that any doctor and psychologist can give is that you need to deal with the problem at an early age. As the brain develops, the chances of successfully correcting the defect will decrease.

Stuttering Exercises

How can you get rid of stuttering if the problem progresses and prevents a person from living? Perhaps the most effective way to fight are special exercises. They can be used at home, but it is still better to talk with a speech therapist. The specialist will not only talk about the exercises, but also show exactly how they should be performed.

So, what exercises are most effective in dealing with a speech defect?

It is necessary to pronounce the letters of the alphabet, gradually increasing the speed. At first, a person tries to simply reproduce the letters without stuttering. With each interruption, you need to start the exercise again. When all the letters are named, you need to increase the speed of pronunciation.
The vowels should be pronounced in chant, while stretching out the letters "A", "O", "U".
Tongue twisters are also used, which should be pronounced slowly at first, and then faster and faster.
You can also do breathing exercises. To do this, stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart, head looking forward. Next, the person takes a deep breath and turns his head to the right. When turning, he exhales noisily. Repeat the exercise with the head turned to the right and to the left at least eight times.

Speech therapists often advise their patients to memorize poems and sing songs. In the first lessons, a person will encounter constant stuttering, but gradually he will be able to pronounce words better and better. In addition to the alphabet, you can play associations, name words for a certain letter at speed.

If a person still does not know how to get rid of stuttering, he can resort to the use of yoga. Thanks to a well-thought-out system of exercises, it is possible to relax the muscles and tone the body. Here are just the first classes should be held under the supervision of an experienced specialist, otherwise there is a high probability of injury.

Medical treatment

Trying to learn how to stop stuttering, most patients do not even realize that this can be done with the help of drugs. It is important to remember one rule here: you should take only those medicines that were prescribed by a doctor. Self-use of pills will not lead to anything good and can only worsen overall well-being.

Most often, doctors prescribe the following medications for stuttering:

Decoction on apple peel.

To prepare it, it is necessary to pour the peel from apples with a liter of boiling water, then cook it over low heat for 5-6 minutes. Next, a pinch of sugar is added to the broth, after which it can be drunk daily at 100-200 ml.

Decoction for rinsing based on fragrant herbs.

30 grams of dried grass should be poured into 0.5 liters. boiling water. Then darken the broth in a water bath for 7 minutes. Gargle with this composition every morning for 40-50 seconds, but it is not recommended to swallow the decoction.

Decoction for rinsing based on lemon balm.

This tool is very easy to prepare: you need to pour 20 grams of lemon balm with half a liter of boiling water and leave to infuse for half an hour. Strained broth can be gargled every 5-6 hours.

Folk remedies are best used in combination with medications and exercises. In this case, the likelihood of healing will be higher.

Methods of psychological impact on the disease

Psychologists are sure that stuttering is directly related to the internal problems of a person. Complexity, self-doubt, timidity - all these problems give rise to speech defects. To get rid of them, follow these tips:

a person must learn to relax, forget about problems and give up unnecessary stress;
before a responsible event or interview, you should always rehearse the speech several times, especially dwelling on its difficult moments;
you need to learn how to pause during a conversation in those moments when stuttering creeps up. This will help a person mask his own shortcoming;
during communication, you need to think at a minimum about your own speech defects. A person should be distracted, pay attention to the behavior of others and their manner of speaking;
Every day a person should begin by praising himself. As soon as the complexes recede, the problem with stuttering will also become less.

How to get rid of stuttering in the shortest possible time? To achieve the desired, a person needs to use all of the above methods. Speech therapists advise doing speech exercises, constantly singing and learning how to breathe correctly. Doctors advise taking special drugs, and psychologists do not forget about self-hypnosis. However, the most effective way to deal with problems is to try to love yourself. As soon as a person gets rid of the complexes, stops being nervous and relaxes, the problem will slowly begin to fade away.

Speech is the main way of communication among people. And some problems with it can significantly spoil life. So a person who stutters faces discomfort when communicating with others. This can affect the quality of life, make it difficult to move up the career ladder, interfere with establishing relationships with others, both friendly and personal, and work. However, with the right approach, even in adulthood, it is quite possible to cope with such a problem on your own. There are techniques that can help eliminate stuttering in a fairly short time. So let's talk about how to get rid of stuttering for an adult and quickly. However, the speed of the process will depend on the person himself, his abilities and the efforts made.

Breath

The first thing a stuttering person should do is take care of their breathing. So if you have speech problems, then working with a breathing apparatus will help eliminate them in a short time. Regularly perform several exercises that have a positive effect on the condition of the vocal cords, and also force the diaphragm to fully cooperate with the activity of the voice and teach the body to breathe deeply and correctly.

Exercise One. Straighten up and lower your arms down, then lean forward slightly, rounding your back. At the same time, you need to ensure that the back muscles remain relaxed, and the head and arms are lowered. Take a quick breath in, as if you were bending over to smell the flower, then straighten out, but not completely, and exhale weakly through your nose. Then bend over again and inhale quickly. Do a total of twelve sets, eight breaths each.

Second exercise. Straighten up, place your arms at your sides, and at the same time spread your legs shoulder-width apart. Turn your head to one side and take a short and rather noisy breath, then turn to the other side and inhale again. It is worth exhaling while the head turns from one side to the opposite. The neck should remain as relaxed as possible.

Hypnosis

If you really want to quickly get rid of stuttering, it may well be that a qualified specialist with hypnosis skills can help you. As you know, the incorrect functioning of the speech apparatus depends on the activity of the nerve centers located in the left, as well as in the right temporal region. When conducting a hypnosis session, experts found that stuttering people significantly improve speech functions. However, it should be borne in mind that this method of correction does not help everyone.

Folk remedies

There are methods of treatment for stuttering, which involve the use of various herbs with medicinal properties. Their effectiveness has not been proven by scientific studies, however, such therapy quite often leads to positive results.

So you can make a collection of equal parts of herbs such as nettle, mint, valerian root, and chamomile. Half a tablespoon of this composition should be brewed with one glass of boiled water only. Infuse the product wrapped for a quarter of an hour, then strain. The resulting composition should be consumed twice a day in the amount of half a glass at a time. The duration of such therapy is one month. Such a medicinal composition will help eliminate anxiety and add confidence, and this is often enough to completely cure stuttering.

Combine equal shares of licorice root, as well as lemon balm and sweet clover herbs, calendula flowers and birch leaves. A teaspoon of this composition should be brewed with hot but not boiling water. Insist for two hours, after which the medicine should be filtered, and it will be ready for consumption. Take the resulting remedy throughout the day, dividing it into five equal parts. This composition has a positive effect on the activity of the nervous system, helping to optimize speech functions.

Combine equal parts of honey and mummy. Such a composition should be kept as much as possible in the oral cavity, without swallowing. The duration of such therapy can reach six months, but the positive effect of it is achieved quickly enough.

Individual approach

If you stutter, learn a few tricks that will help you deal with your problem as quickly as possible at the right time. If you think that now you will start stuttering again, it will definitely happen. Stop being afraid of your stuttering, allow yourself to live inside with such a feature. As soon as you accept yourself as you are, the problem will disappear or will rarely bother you.

Learn to relax. Think about what helps you to move away from unpleasant sensations. Perhaps a rosary, or folding a sheet of paper, or some sort of finger twiddling, will calm you down. Feel free to use such methods when you need to speak. You will soon notice that inner peace greatly affects the quality of speech and can help completely eliminate the problem of stuttering.

Please note that when you communicate with really close people, speech disorders practically do not bother you and occur extremely rarely. Therefore, if you have to give a speech, rehearse it in front of your spouse, brother or sister. Remember the feeling of relaxation and confidence in this moment and try to return to them during an important speech.

With the right approach, you can easily deal with the problem of stuttering on your own.

For many adults, speech difficulty begins in childhood and does not leave them after episodic treatment. People often resign themselves to their situation and consider it hopeless. This opinion is absolutely untenable, why - this article will help to understand.

History and description of the disease

Difficulty in speech in the form of stuttering has been described since ancient times.

Until the end of the 19th century, attempts to study the nature of stuttering were isolated, there were no methods for its treatment.

This was due to two reasons:

stuttering has always remained a rare phenomenon, not dangerous to others;
even more rare were cases of getting rid of stuttering illness as a result of medical manipulations.

The suffering person was left alone with his problem; when communicating, he caused annoyance and sympathy at the same time. With a dismissive attitude towards people who pronounce words with repeated hesitations, one can meet even now.

Therefore, stutterers try to speak less, especially in the presence of strangers, limit contacts, and deliberately narrow their social circle. In the 20th century, medical science fully recognized the need and relevance of specialized assistance to stutterers.

Medicine considers stuttering to be a disease that has a speech manifestation and neuropsychiatric origin.

Modern methods for correcting stuttering in adult patients take into account their individual characteristics, include a detailed examination of the body and have positive dynamics as a result of the treatment undertaken.

External symptoms, features of the manifestation and diagnosis of stuttering

Speech therapists are well aware that in order to effectively help patients with difficulties in speech communication, the participation of many specialists is required - neurologists and psychologists, in the first place.

What symptoms are considered the main ones for the diagnosis of stuttering?

The diagnosis is made to an adult patient in cases of a pronounced deviation of speech from the normal rhythm and articulation.

Difficulties are aggravated by involuntary grimaces and repetitive movements of the muscles of the face - tics.

There are two types of violations in the pronunciation of words, due to the type of spasms of the respiratory, articulatory and vocal muscles:

tonic - with stretching of vowels and sonorous sounds, with unnatural pauses between words, with a break in the pronunciation of sounds within a syllable,
clonic - with repeated repetition of the same consonants, syllables or short words.

There is a mixed, tonic-clonic form, combining the listed symptoms. With all forms of stuttering, an intermittent, spastic nature of speech is expressed.

Sounds are blocked in the throat, and it seems that the person is making significant efforts to "push" them out.

Choppy speech can also be a feature of pronunciation in people without stuttering. The doctor pays attention to the comparative frequency and duration of the interruption of the smooth flow of the speech flow:

There is a technique for counting the number of breaks per 100 words. Normally, this figure is 7%. Then the slowing of speech is not defined as unnatural. A person who stutters is interrupted in 10% of a hundred or more words.
The duration of breaks in pronunciation in the "problem" patient is clearly expressed, ranging from one to 30 seconds and is accompanied by noticeable muscle tension.

Stuttering, which arose in adulthood, is a feature of the external speech of the patient. Studies have established that a person's inner speech remains absolutely free, even in cases of maximum manifestations of the defect.

This fact is considered an important argument in favor of the possibility of curing adult patients from stuttering.

Men are more prone to speech defects than women. Medical statistics show that for every five men who stutter, there are only two women. The structural features of the female brain represent a natural defense against a speech disease.

Causes of stuttering in adults

It is customary to distinguish between neurotic stuttering (logoneurosis) and organic, or neurosis-like.

In a conversation with the patient, the doctor finds out whether the symptoms are permanent or whether their manifestation depends on the circumstances of the speech act. The patient is assigned a study of the brain in the form of an electroencephalogram.

If an encephalographic examination reveals the presence of abnormalities in the functioning of the brain structures responsible for speech functions, then stuttering is classified as organic.

It is characterized by constant symptoms that occur even in a calm and familiar environment for the patient:

In adult patients, organic stuttering occurs as a complication after suffering other diseases with damage to the motor sphere.
in the brain can mechanically impede the passage of nerve impulses and be the cause of speech disorders.

Logoneuroses in adults are caused by stressful situations and deep nervous shocks. In these cases, stuttering is not fixed physiologically and largely depends on the level of emotional stress of the person.

Neurotic stuttering is aggravated by the need to speak in an unusual environment or in front of several people. There are cases of temporary stuttering that appears immediately after a strong fright, affect, anger and disappears after some time, along with a decrease in the tension of the situation. To effectively help a person, a hot drink or a small dose of alcohol is enough.

Timely qualified assistance with stress logoneurosis is especially important. Otherwise, a pathological stereotype is formed, stuttering becomes chronic, convulsive syndromes and twitches join external speech problems. Psychological discomfort grows, communication with other people becomes tiring to the point of exhaustion.

The most numerous is the group of people suffering from stuttering from an early age. The primary causes of disorders may be organic or neurotic, but the main feature of patients in this group is that the disease has an ingrained, stable character.

The picture is complicated by hereditary predisposition and already formed speech habits. Courses of treatment of such patients can last several years.

In the video, the doctor tells what is the true cause and what is the trigger of stuttering:

Methods for the treatment of stuttering in adults

Researchers of stuttering are unanimous in their opinion that in order to successfully overcome the problem, an integrated approach is needed that takes into account the biological, psychological and social aspects of the phenomenon.

Methods for correcting stuttering in adults include medication, speech therapy and psychotherapy.

Medical method of treatment

This method is focused on the removal of convulsive syndromes and the stabilization of nervous reactions with the help of various drugs:

Anticonvulsant, antispasmodic drugs for oral administration: magnerot, midokalm, finlepsin. As an additional remedy, milgamma is used - a complex of vitamins of group B.
Sedatives that reduce nervous tension: glycine, grandaxin, afobazole. A good result is observed when taking complex herbal preparations Novopassit and Dormiplant in the form of tablets or infusions of medicinal herbs - valerian, motherwort, lemon balm.

Speech therapy techniques for the treatment of stuttering in adult patients

Focused on changing stereotypical speech habits.

Stuttering correction methods can be divided into three groups:

the formation of a new, correct speech technique in a person, including the setting of breathing, voice control, natural articulation;
mastering the developed skills on complex material - when reading and free story;
automation of skills in modeling various speech situations, development of emotional stability to possible difficulties when talking with other people.

This scheme is rather arbitrary, since speech therapy techniques are constantly being improved and applied taking into account the individual characteristics of patients, individually or in groups. How to cure stuttering in adults is decided by the attending physician, taking into account all conditions and the general health of the patient.

A well-known method for the treatment of stuttering L. Z. Harutyunyan, aimed not at the correction of individual speech disorders, but at the formation of a completely new motor speech skill.

Psychotherapeutic methods for overcoming stuttering

They include rational and suggestive therapy, in addition, patients are trained in auto-training:

Rational methods are implemented in the form of doctor's conversations with patients, in order to form an adequate, constructive attitude of the patient to solving his problem.
The suggestive technique consists in the passage of one or more sessions of hypnosis by the patient. During the suggestion, the doctor pays attention to the emotional sphere of the patient and the state of his breathing, articulation and vocal apparatus.
Mastering the techniques of auto-training allows stutterers to help themselves on their own. These skills remain with them for life and consolidate the result of treatment.

Therapeutic exercise successfully complements special courses of treatment. Simple exercises not only help to strengthen the speech muscles, but have a beneficial effect on the general condition of the nervous system of people suffering from stuttering.

Breathing exercises Strelnikova, classes in the yoga system under the guidance of an experienced instructor will give the patient a basis on which he will be able to base independent studies in the future.

There is evidence of a positive effect of acupuncture and acupuncture on speech problems.

If a person suffering from stuttering decides to resort to an unconventional method of treatment, then he should choose a specialist with a good reputation, worthy of trust, who has all the necessary documents to conduct such activities.

There are also dubious treatments, such as praying for stuttering. In medical practice, they are rarely used, since it has not been scientifically proven that with their help you can get rid of stuttering.

All these signs in most cases lead to psychological problems (social phobia, self-isolation). How to get rid of stuttering, consider in more detail.

Causes of stuttering

The exact etiology has not been studied. Stuttering is characterized by a combination of genetic and neurological disorders:

Convulsive readiness of the speech centers in the brain.
Speech impairment with adenoids that interfere with adequate nasal breathing, the brain experiences oxygen starvation. Speech centers suffer.
An overly emotional type of people (embarrassment, timidity, fear of speaking in public), who let everything through themselves. Excitement triggers a spasm of the speech apparatus.
Suffered severe fright or psychological trauma.
A consequence of chronic stress.
Bruises, concussion, contusion of the brain.
Violation of the pace of speech development (acceleration or slowdown). It is observed in children when the speech apparatus does not have time to provide a rapid flow of verbal formation ("lexical explosion"). It is typical for a 3-year-old child who was silent for a long time and began to speak for the first time.
Unfavorable atmosphere in the family (scandals, screams, fights).
Diseases of the nervous system (encephalitis, cerebral palsy, meningitis).
Mimicking a stuttering family member.

Types of stuttering

There are such types of diseases:

Clonic - repetition of sounds, syllables, words ("s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-obaka", "ma-ma-ma-machine").
Tonic - sounds, syllables, words are stretched ("l ... .... astik", "x ... ... leb").
Mixed.
neurosis-like. There is an organic change in the central nervous system. Children lag behind in physical and mental development.
Neurotic. Occurs with a healthy nervous system. Appears during a stressful situation, fright. In a calm environment, there are no symptoms of stuttering. With this type, people experience a strong fear of speaking, excessive stress.

Stuttering is often accompanied by grimaces due to spasm of the facial muscles, a nervous tic - these are defense mechanisms by which a person tries to quickly overcome a stutter.

Medical treatment and methods

Medicines can only be prescribed by a doctor. Two groups of drugs are used - tranquilizers and anticonvulsants. A prominent representative in the treatment of stuttering is Phenibut. Tablets help reduce or disappear feelings of anxiety, fear, tension, normalize sleep.

Treatment methods for stuttering:

The program of a three-day cure for the disease according to the Snezhko method, which is based on the belief that speech is a skill, it is not treated, but developed. The treatment program includes a set of special speech training.
What is the Malcolm Fraser method? The program is designed so that a person can independently correct his speech. A set of special exercises is presented that justified their effectiveness and helped many people recover from stuttering.
Mobile applications. For example "Voice fixer". Helps slow down the pace of a stutterer's speech and become more intelligible to others. Gradually the person gets used to the new pace and speaks better. It is a psychological phenomenon.

Each person suffering from stuttering, in the process of life, invents his own means of combating pathology. For example, clenching a fist in a pocket. Muscle contraction distracts from excitement and spasm of the speech apparatus. Someone sorts out a rosary or any other small object. Dale Carnegie came up with a great way - to squeeze your toes tightly in your boots. Some find it soothing to fold a piece of paper.

Preventive measures

It is necessary to observe the speech development of the child. At the slightest distortion in the pronunciation of words, a violation of the pace of speech, stretching of phrases, pauses during a conversation, you should contact a speech therapist. It is necessary to find out whether the pathology occurs only with excitement. The help of a specialist at an early stage of the disease will help the child prevent communication difficulties. It is more difficult for a teenager to cope with stuttering, because children at puberty are more likely to experience excitement and suffer from neuroses.

The best prevention is the prevention of logoneurosis. It is necessary to create favorable conditions for the development of the child, ennoble the climate of the family with peace and love. Parents and their relationships play a very important role.

It is necessary to protect the child from an overabundance of information in the form of a TV, gadgets, computer games.
It is necessary to ensure the correct mode of work and rest. The child should sleep 8-9 hours.
Organize a nutritious diet with enough vitamins and minerals.
Singing and listening to good songs is very helpful.
Quiet games, reading books with a good storyline, and walks in the fresh air are recommended.

The correct development of a child's speech is based on:

The main problem of stuttering is that after recovery, the symptoms of the disease may reappear. You don't need to focus on it. People who get rid of stuttering will cope with it again.

Why people suffer from stuttering and how to help in this trouble, "MK" was told by a speech therapist, candidate of medical sciences Elena SERGEEVA.

Imitating adults

Mostly children face the problem of stuttering. Most often, 2-5-year-olds, very rarely - primary school students, and even less often - teenagers. Stuttering can last from several months to several years. The most common causes of stuttering are:

strong fear;
constant unfair and rude attitude towards the child (threats, punishments, endless shouting);
a sudden change for the worse in the situation in the family (frequent quarrels of parents in the presence of a child);
the consequences of infectious diseases, when the body is weakened.

Sometimes children who start talking early become stutterers: their parents read too much to them, while they are constantly asked to repeat what they have read, or, much worse, they are forced to speak in front of an unfamiliar large audience. Fear becomes a barrier to normal speech.

Stuttering can also occur in those children who have been communicating with stutterers for a long time, these kids simply imitate their comrades.
In an adult, the causes of stuttering usually come down to sudden grief, tragedy, severe fright: a sudden plane crash that ended in an emergency landing, the death of a loved one right in front of our eyes, the death of a beloved animal, divorce, scandals in the family, etc.

BTW, some medical scientists believe that stuttering is explained by organic disorders: stutterers have a different type of auditory perception, as a result of which they hear their own speech a little bit late (by a fraction of a second). And some psychoanalysts assure: stuttering is a symptom of a serious internal conflict or unmet needs, a consequence of attempts to prevent the expression of forbidden thoughts and feelings. The simplest example is a teenager looking at “those same” magazines, and a mother who comes in at the most inopportune moment.

scary words

The most difficult thing for people with speech impairment is to speak in public. It's double stress. When repeating sounds or syllables, many are silent for a long time and stubbornly, stretch sounds unnaturally, make faces, some have tics. Stuttering increases with excitement, weakens in a calm environment.

In addition, stutterers often have a fear of different words or sounds, they tend to use synonyms or allegorical phrases to avoid frightening words. They feel irritation towards the listeners when they try to suggest a word, avert their eyes at moments of special spasm of speech. This is a normal psychological reaction and should be treated with understanding.

What will we treat?

Children often "recover from stuttering" spontaneously, without any measures of doctors and specialists. Just as the body matures and strengthens, the nervous system stabilizes, and everything “by itself” returns to normal.

The recovery of adult stutterers is a time-consuming process that requires daily practice for about an hour a day. Instant healing is a myth.

Normal speech can only be achieved as a result of long-term efforts of the person himself.

Usually, a psychotherapist, a neurologist and a speech therapist take part in the treatment of stuttering. It all comes down to developing the skills of correct speech and overcoming fears.

The work on speech is directly carried out by a speech therapist (usually a speech pathologist). Its task is to ensure the correct speech mode: almost all stutterers are able to speak fluently, but under a number of conditions. For example, if they read in unison with someone, sing, whisper, or speak in a dialect, or significantly change their voice, breathing, or manner of speaking.

As for the psyche and emotional sphere of a person, this is the responsibility of the psychotherapist. His task is to eliminate the inferiority complex, help the patient feel psychologically comfortable and do everything possible so that everything is harmonious in relations with others. Being close to a stuttering person, it is important to calm him down, help him relax, say kind words, while not lisping and creating a normal atmosphere of friendly communication.
Often, in the treatment of stuttering, they resort to medications, physiotherapy, and acupuncture. Naturally, all this should be used only as directed by a doctor.

As for hypnosis, here it is necessary to take into account why a person stutters. If as a result of a mental trauma - will help. If there is some organic violation - no.

USEFUL EXERCISE

Everyone knows Krylov's famous fable "The Crow and the Fox", and so, in addition to the fact that this fable is instructive, it turned out that it directly affects the stutterer. If you read this fable in a singsong voice, without pronouncing it, but stretching out the words, as if you are trying to sing it, for 4-7 times a day, then after a week you will feel that you speak easier, and after a month after daily training, you can get rid of stuttering . If the stuttering remains, it is barely noticeable.

Stuttering can be prevented by:

it is very important that the child always hears the correct speech;
you should not read scary stories to children at night, as this can cause the child to feel constant fear: he is afraid to see Baba Yaga, the Gray Wolf, etc .;
you can not over-indulge children and fulfill any of their whims. The requirements for the child must correspond to his age, be always the same, constant on the part of all those around him, both in the family and in kindergarten, school.

FACTS ABOUT STUTMERING

One percent of the world's population, or 60 million out of six billion people, stutters.

It is curious that usually alone with himself, a stutterer speaks without defects.
Stuttering people sing well.

Human speech movements are closely related to the movements of the whole body, therefore, for a stutterer, music and dance classes are very important, which contribute to the development of proper speech breathing, a sense of tempo, rhythm.

Stuttering leads to a change in character. The person becomes heavily addicted to his illness and develops a fear of speech. A vicious circle arises: stuttering causes excitement, excitement causes even more stuttering, etc. The person suffers greatly. Some stutterers say that they would rather be completely dumb, if only to be able to calmly, without hesitation, express their thoughts.

The ancient Greek orator Demosthenes, who suffered from a stutter, got rid of the defect by working on himself every day: he collected stones in his mouth and tried to speak with them.
