Stuttering can have a variety of causes ranging from genetic and psychogenic to neurogenic causes. Children can develop speech problems in early during speech development but 80% of them will grow out of it.

If you have a stuttering problem there is help out there for you and there is no need to suffer by yourself. Try some of the tips below and see how you get on.
1) Ease the anxiety
Some proponents of nlp techniques claim that the causes are psychological rather that physical, claiming that stutterers can speak fine in certain situations. There is certainly an element of anxiety surrounding speaking that can be worked with. If you feel anxiety before speaking locate the anxiety in your body and breathe into it. Let it be there and feel it. This can help take your mind off your thoughts, get you more grounded and keeping you focussed.

Some theorists believe that we have all the resources we need to solve a problem like stuttering. The answer may be different for each individual. If you take a quiet moment, close your eyes and ask yourself what need to do for yourself to help you stop stuttering, you may be surprised at the answer that may come. It may come immediately or later on. Trust yourself and see what happens.
