Mum I need to talk with you. What is the matter son? I just can not cope living with this stutter for any longer, please will you help me to find a solution? This stuttering nightmare has to end - I have had enough. It should go without saying Steve; I will help you in any way that I can.

The above is a conversation which I had with my mother when I was aged sixteen. I had just arrived home after spending a most frustrating day out with my friends during which my speech was dreadful. The problems started at the train station when I attempted to order my train ticket, I could not say the word “return”, I felt so small. I am rather fortunate to have some top quality friends who always support me in these troublesome times. Think positive Steve you had no problems when speaking the rest of it. I have to say that this was most welcome however it did not help me to stop feeling very upset about the whole situation. What is wrong with? Why can I not speak properly? Why have I got this horrible stutter? I try to be a decent person in everything that I do in life therefore I can not understand as to why I have this annoying stutter?

My speech was basically OK for the next few hours but then it took a huge turn for the worse when we went to a fast food restaurant for lunch. There was a voice within my head which suggested that it would be best to ask a friend to order the food for me. This for me was just like being a wimp. I would order my own food and I will order it fluently I said to myself. Well at least I was attempting to think in a positive manner but it was to no avail, yes the stammering did occur, it was when attempting to say the word “cheeseburger”.

Around two hours later I was in a sports shop as I wanted to buy a pair of trainers. After finding a pair that I thought looked good, I went up to the shop worker to ask for a size seven. Guess what? Yes you’ve guessed it, the stuttering reared its ugly head yet again.

By the time that I arrived home I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. I had had enough, this was the last straw. I was now desperate to find a form of how to stop stuttering help that would actually work.

I could not continue to live life with this stuttering problem and decided to fight back against this annoying speech impediment and its associated demons.

I remember when I was growing up, my parents used to become vey annoyed with me when I stated that I could not do my homework or could not do other things I had been asked to do.

They would respond with the advice that I could do anything in life as long as I believed in myself and as long as I was willing to work very hard. My dad would state that the word can’t does not exist in his vocab and that he always thinks in a “I can do” manner.

He worked very hard to make me understand and to take on board this message, which would eventually prove to be a valuable lesson for me to learn. It has helped me to achieve many things and to also overcome some of the issues I had in my life.

School and employment

I was not the brightest student at school and as previously mentioned would often say that I could not complete the work through my lack of belief in my own ability. I actually worked my socks off and eventually left school with some very good grades; my parents were very proud. I continued this success into my work life and became a successful upvc front door salesman as well as offering Mobile Phone Voucher Codes. 

Stuttering

From the age of four I had suffered with the speech impediment known as stammering or stuttering. By my early twenties I had had enough of this struggle and went about trying to overcome the stutter. My parents were amazing and were always there in a supportive way to ensure that I kept up the practice.

I did, after a huge amount of work and dedication, manage to overcome this most annoying of speech impediments, this enabled me to have the freedom and confidence to say any word that I wanted to - this was a huge relief as you can no doubt imagine.

OK, so you have tried the more traditional forms of speech and language therapy in your quest to eradicate your stutter but despite your best efforts it has not helped you to achieve your goal of fluency. So what are the available options now? Where should or could you go to continue your efforts to stop stammering?

Well before I start to write about some potential answers to the above questions I should really introduce myself. I am Steve Hill, a speech coach from England. I am not a speech therapist and nor do I want to be one. I offer an alternative therapy for stuttering and one that works.

I developed a speech impediment, a stutter, when I was a young boy. I attended speech and language therapy via my local hospital. Even though it was of use it never offered me the opportunity to eradicate the stutter.

The majority of the speech and language therapists were nice enough people and certainly tried their best to help me; it was just that the training that they had been provided with was less than adequate.

There was one especially frustrating moment when I was speaking with a not so nice speech therapist. He told me that there was not a cure for stammering/stuttering. I replied:

“Fair enough. So what are you or the profession of speech and language therapy doing to find a cure?”

Speech therapist:

“Ermm, well nothing”

Me

“OK, that’s all very positive! NOT!”

For me the above example summed up my experience of speech therapy; I can only hope that the service has improved since my day!

I did, eventually, overcome the stammer when I was aged twenty-two.

As stated earlier I offer the alternative therapy for stammering and stuttering.

I have a website at http://www.stutter-cure.com which has information about the types of therapy that I offer.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Have you heard about the latest therapy for stammering? Now this is not your usual treatment via your local speech and language therapist, this is what is known as “specialist stammering treatment”. Why? Well because the person who provides the therapy is a person who has had and who more importantly has overcome a stammer.

Stephen Hill was just four years of age when he started to stammer. Despite attending the many different forms of speech and language therapy classes for many years the stammer continued to plague his life until he was aged twenty-two.

Mr Hill had a single life-time goal or ambition which was to some how achieve fluency. Steve was told by his local speech and language therapist that there was not a cure for stammering but despite this he continued on his quest to achieve fluency.

He was informed on numerous occasions that there is not a cure for stammering however Steve just would not accept second best in life. Negative thinking is for losers is the attitude that he believes in.

Steve eventually managed to overcome his stammer at the age of 22 after formulating his own fluency techniques.

He now teaches these techniques to other people who stutter and does this via a one-to-one speech course. As well as the specialised stuttering therapy courses Steve also offers a self-help DVD, an audio book and an e-book.

Stammering and Stuttering affects many people from all over the world. There are many ways to approach such a issue and it is always a good idea to do as much research as possible.

Steve Hill not only offers a potential solution in many formats but also gives people the extra peace of mind of a free telephone consulation that can be booked at any time.

Steve:

“In the past I often dreamt about what life would be like as a fluent person. Now that I am able to speak free from the fear of stuttering I have to say that it feels even better than what I had imagined to be. I am now able to reach my full potentail in life”.
