Exercises
Speak to yourself: May be in front of the mirror or just alone facing a wall. Try talking out loud to yourself letting your inhibition go. This has helped many people throughout the world and is considered the first step in speech therapy.
Open the mouth as wide as you can, then try pulling your tongue as inwards as possible even if it means curling your tongue inside towards the centre of your throat. Then gradually pull the tongue out of the mouth as far as it can go. Keep repeating this for ten minutes every day at a stretch and slowly you will see the stutter go.
Stammering happens to be an emotional problem more than the physical problem. This can be cured only with perseverance and patience.
