4 Misconceptions About Stuttering And Stuttering Cures

Most everyone knows someone who stutters. Perhaps you stutter. TV and Movies have many prominent or supporting characters who stutter, whether for comedic or dramatic effect. Everyone knows about stuttering but much of what they know is less than true.

Here are a few misconceptions about stuttering and stuttering cures.

Stuttering Is A Psychological Problem

There are several causes of stuttering While stuttering can be a manifestation of other psychological issues, this is rare. This misconception stems from people observing the effects of stuttering and mistaking it for an indication of the cause. Stuttering will naturally have emotional and psychological effects on the suffer, who will often exhibit nervousness, frustration, stress, and anger. This misconception has caused many therapists in the past to create ineffective stuttering cures that attempt to deal with the wrong underlying cause.

Stuttering is a sign of lower intelligence.

Stuttering has no correlation to lower intelligence. The neurological form of stuttering can affect any one at any intelligence level. Developmental stuttering which affects children during their formative years, can actually be a sign of higher intelligence, as the child attempts to use words that are beyond the limits of their undeveloped speech center and facial muscles.

Stuttering is always a life long affliction.

Not all types of stuttering are a life long problem. Developmental stuttering caused by a child overtaxing their ability to speak, will often disappear when the child is older and fully developed.

There is no stuttering cure for neurological stuttering. While there is no treatment that will take away the tendency to stutter, many sufferers from neurological stuttering have overcome this affliction. Modern medicine does not yet understand fully the causes of neurological stuttering but it is believed that certain pathways in the speech center of the brain malfunction, causing signals to get blocked or repeated.

These signals control the muscles in the body that create speech. To address this and effect a stuttering cure requires the patient to create a new way of speaking using a different section of the brain and speech center. Through hard work and practice, a life long stutter can become an effective speaker.

The patient may return to the old stuttering pattern from time to time, especially when under stress. But with care and self control, this can be can be avoided.

Stutterers will never be good public speakers.

This is completely false. In fact, just the opposite is the case. Since overcoming stuttering requires hours of practice and careful control of each word spoken, those who have had a stuttering cure often are better public speakers than those of us who never had a stuttering problem. Notable examples of this are actors James Earl Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Stuart, Bruce Willis and Harvey Kitel, as well as political figures like Joseph Biden and Winston Churchill.
