Stammering – also called ‘stuttering’

Symptom: Stammering is when someone:

· repeats sounds or syllables – for example, saying "mu-mu-mu-mummy"

· makes sounds longer – for example, "mmmmmmummy"

· a word gets stuck or does not come out at all

Prescription:

· Little is known of the reasons behind stammering. Those with it have probably experienced it since childhood and are probably already in the health-care system and being assisted by professionals. Therefore, such advice is beyond the scope of this book.

· Although acute nervousness and stress are not thought to cause stammering per se, those situations can trigger it in those who are already predisposed.

· At a very basic level, relaxation and breathing exercises can be used as well as helping the becoming calmer emotionally, with reassurance from others about your work, content and environment.
