To be able to speak fluently in any situation is a fantasy goal in the mind of the person who stammers. There is tremendous glamour attached to the attainment of speech fluency. Such a point of view, although understandable, needs to be discouraged, since fantasies are thrilling and all thrills are emotionally de-stabilising. All our actions, including the act of speech, are neuro-muscular in nature. The brain emits electro-chemical signals that travel through the nerves and ‘order’ the required muscles to execute specific movements. The smooth transmission of these electro-chemical impulses signals can become disturbed when the mind is thrilled or excited. Stammering is a condition that feeds on emotional upheavals (another name for ‘thrills’). Most persons who stammer are so desperate for fluency that they will do just about anything to get it. It is this very desperation that takes the goal farther away!!!a daily routine of practice with timing of delivery, pausing, loudness modulation, changing of mouth dynamics’, etc. will do best.. do not care about the fluency much in the beginning... its always the content of knowledge that matters the most...for you and your job too... your co-leagues jibing at you wont decrease your pay after all... so be ready to give it your best shot and do not worry about other people ... and remember no one can belittle us . unless we ourself get ready to get belittled...just be brave...
