Patient's question:
I am from Wenzhou. When I was 13 years old, I suddenly found that I couldn't express what I wanted to say and had to keep it in my heart. Later, I started to stutter and speak unclearly, especially when speaking to older relatives, I often couldn't speak, and I felt very nervous when talking. It's better to speak in plain language, and when I was in a foreign place, I basically spoke in plain language and rarely stuttered or felt nervous. How can this be treated?Doctor's answer:
One, About Self-Treatment>>>>Perhaps you are like most of the 1.5 million stutterers in the United States, unable to receive proper stuttering clinical treatment. All you can do is rely on yourself, utilizing all the treatment methods and related resources you can find to engage in self-treatment.
The first thing you need to do is tell yourself that you need to change everything, that you really need to change the way you speak right now. Although it is very difficult to do this, you must still commit fully and not have the slightest bit of laziness. Some people have unrealistic fantasies that stuttering will somehow disappear on its own one day, and you should not hold onto this hope. Additionally, do not expect a magic pill to solve your problem.
You also cannot passively wait for a good treatment method to magically appear one day; instead, you must make an effort to find it yourself. You need to understand that the old treatment methods and the efforts you have made over the years have not been effective for you. The force of habit is always strong, and you will find it difficult to change things as they are right now. Even though your current way of speaking is not entirely comfortable, you have become accustomed to it. We tend to shrink away from the unknown.
To achieve the long-term progress you desire, you must be willing to endure temporary discomfort, sometimes even distress. Nothing good comes for free. Why can’t you spend some time and energy now to treat yourself so that you can speak freely later? So, how should you treat it? You need to completely crush this world of stuttering, once and for all.
