Severe Stutter

Stutter or stuttering can have a dramatic effect on somebodys
confidence
Fluent people really can not comprehend how hard it is to live
your life with a speech impediment or stutter
I run one to one speech courses in Birmingham and one of my
clients once told me about a situation he was involved in He
and his friends went to a bar one Saturday afternoon to have a
few drinks After a couple of pints he went up to the bar to
order himself a drink Unfortunately he could not speak all of
the words fluently and the bar man accused him of being drunk
and refused to serve him He tried to explain that he was not
drunk but had a stutter but the bar man said “That’s what they
all say”
He returned to his friends who asked him where his drink was He
told them what had happened, this itself was very embarressing
This is a typical situation people who have a stutter find
themselves in
Stuttering can affect many aspects of a persons life including:
confidence
friendships
careers
relationships
school
Now that I have overcome a stutter it is like a weight has been
lifted from my shoulders and life is so much easier
