I'm finally learning how to control my horrible stuttering. Hello to everyone👋🏽 My names Kyle and I'm an Indian from Durban South Africa. I'm 26 years old and I'm also suffering with severe stuttering since childhood. My stuttering was very bad throughout my childhood and teenage years that I couldn't even say a full sentence without someone helping me complete it... getting into conversations with people was a nightmare and I hardly spoke to girls even though I'm very attractive. I've tried many different techniques like prolonged speech, which does help but using this in public drawed alot of attention from others and it was making me feel uncomfortable everytime. I tried whispering, it helped slightly but when I try raising my voice then the stuttering happens, which wasn't any use. Many people told me to sing and believe me it works , but the problem is that singing and normally speaking is different. You obviously can't sing to people when talking it's ridiculous. Then finally now , I tried the (Pausing and Phrasing technique) , which I came across from a video on YouTube. Where the therapist says we should try pausing after every few words in order for our brain to process whatever we try to say. Apparently our Brain and speech works at different places which causes stuttering. So since I was very severe, instead of pausing after every few words , I started at ground level by pausing after every word for like a sec. It sounded robotic at first but I was practicing it for several hours daily for like a full month until my brain got adjusted to it and I became less uncomfortable with it. I even started using it with my family and outsiders and everyone says I've improved alot. Now that I've adjusted, it doesn't sound robotic because it keeps getting smoother as I practice. Now I hardly stutter. Can have normal conversations with friends family neighbors etc. I've even learnt how to make normal facial expressions so it's completely normal now. My confidence is up and IV started taking Ksm 66 Ashwagandha (PrimeSelf) for my anxiety and stress. Believe me . It works ! The technique won't work same time. It takes hard work and time to practice. I'm currently not working so I have time to work hard with it at home. But now my family is pushing me to find a job because I'm speaking normal 😂
