Although there may be physical problems associated with speech difficulties such as birth
defects, injury, certain illnesses, or dentition, far more often there are psychological factors
at work. Whatever symptom is evident be it stuttering or stammering, spoonerisms or halting speech etc, it always worsens when there is tension because of anxiety and stress. The origins
of these problems are usually deep seated and often respond well to Hypnotherapy.
Working on confidence issues as well as any self image problems can help, as can visualizing yourself speaking easily and clearly in a variety of different situations. By far the most effective method is to think. Think what you are going to say before you say it – it only takes a second.
Think to draw breath before you speak, then speak slowly. Make sure you open your mouth properly rather than mumbling through half closed lips.
Most speech problems will start to diminish with work on these areas.
