How to get rid of stuttering?

✅

Stuttering, also known as logoneurosis and logoclonus, is one of the types of speech pathologies; in this pathology, there is a violation of the pace and rhythm due to the convulsive state of the muscles that form the speech apparatus.

What are the features of this disease? Can it be cured?

The age period in which stuttering usually appears is earlier childhood. In such cases, if the problem is not identified in time and its complex treatment is not started, a mild or temporary logoneurosis can intensify and gain a foothold, persisting for many years and taking on a chronic nature.

Stuttering symptoms

• When talking, a person stops at the beginning of a word.
• Extending the first syllables of words
• Initial sound repetitions
• Contractions of muscles of the face, legs, neck, arms
• Replacing words with synonyms that the stuttering person pronounces with ease

Depending on the characteristics of the manifestation of stuttering, logoneurosis is divided into three types:

• clonic stuttering (manifested in the form of involuntary stretching of words, insertion of inappropriate pauses into speech);
• tonic stuttering (obsessive repetition of sounds, syllables, or words);
• mixed type of logoneurosis (manifested as a combination of a group of symptoms of both of the above types).

A person suffering from logoneurosis is distinguished by anxiety, suspiciousness, low self-esteem, a sense of his own inferiority

Specialists for stuttering patients:

• a neurologist who examines, identifies the neurological component of the disease and directs the EEG and MRI examination, depending on the need, he can prescribe a course of mild sedatives or drugs of nootropic action;
• the psychotherapist, with the help of a psychotherapeutic conversation, projective techniques, determines the level of anxiety of the patient, identifies suppressed fears and phobias, and conducts their further correction. Sessions with a psychotherapist reduce anxiety, optimize the general emotional and psychological background, correct communication skills, teach independent forms of relaxation techniques. An important part of psychotherapeutic intervention is aimed at eliminating verbophibia – the fear of speaking. In the absence of attitudes that provoke a fear of expressing one's thoughts, the somatic symptoms of stuttering will not manifest and trigger logoneurosis.
• a speech therapist who eliminates direct violations in the functioning of the articulatory apparatus, corrects speech defects. But the effectiveness of the speech therapist's work takes place only with the parallel intervention of a neurologist and a psychotherapist;
• sessions of massage, acupuncture, reflexology, physiotherapy aimed at optimizing the functioning of the nervous system.

Logoneurosis treatment methods:

• Medication
• Physiotherapy
• Acupuncture
• Folk remedies
• Hypnosis
• Respiratory activities
• Reflexology
• Physiotherapy
• Unconventional remedies (conspiracies, herbal medicine)

A few tips for overcoming stuttering

Before saying something, the stutter tries to exhale as much as possible and draw in the stomach, and this slows down speech. The diaphragm acts as a kind of abdominal resonator. Before pronouncing a phrase, you must first strain your stomach (as if pushing), and then, saying the phrase, inflate it, thus acting on the diaphragm. Then tightening the diaphragm will help to speak normally.

Be sure to read aloud: at first slowly, making stops between the semantic segments of sentences, then increase the pace, straining the diaphragm. Read in full voice.

• You can reduce the manifestation of stuttering by using a calm and measured pronunciation of words.

Try to stand or sit in an even posture, speak in a calm voice, and use your breath sparingly. You can also hold your breath while you exercise. You should speak in a lower tone than usual, without pressing the consonants, but at the same time slightly stretching the vowels.

• Get rid of speech fear

You should not avoid those sounds that are so difficult to pronounce, otherwise you will never be able to overcome speech fear. As a rule, these are consonants. When pronouncing words, do not strain your mouth muscles: it should be relaxed to avoid spasms.

To do this, you need to enroll in a theater studio and participate in performances. You can start with small texts, and then play big roles.

Exercise can help you overcome tension and relieve spasms in your mouth muscles. For example, this: inflating your stomach while pronouncing the phrase, at the same time slap yourself on the lips. By doing this, you destroy the pathological reflex associated with the spasm of the facial muscles, and develop a new speech stereotype.

• It is very good to include special breathing exercises according to the method of Strelnikova A.N. into the complex of stuttering treatment. For example, exercise “palms”: Stand up straight and bend your arms at the elbows. Turn your palms away from you. Hands should be held in such a way that the elbows are pointing down. Now, simultaneously with clenching your fists, take noisy sharp breaths through your nose (4 breaths in a row without exhaling). Then exhale, lower your arms and rest for 3-4 seconds. Then the exercise in 4 breaths is repeated 24 more times (with an exhalation and rest between cycles).
