Question

Answer 1

Speech Therapist. Ask your family doctor to refer him to one.

Answer 2

Hypnosis doesn't cure a stammer ,but helps him to change discovering some parts of  himself that are hurting. Also hypnosis  is teaching him to profoundly relax that is a big help.

Stammering is not only a speech disorder, but also a communication and behavioural disorder, plus as well as the negative feelings such guilt, shame etc.  A therapy that exclusively focuses on the speech disorder will fail. That is why ,speech therapy is not really working for everybody, plus it is long time therapy and a serious money.

Fortunately , stammering is considered temporary which means can be stoped by self-help. I'll give you the best advice as a professional and from my experience with my brother. I love my brother and loved always but our parents made a big mistake in his childhood. I was the favorite of my parents and they always told him:" You are not like your sister and never will be.." With the good  educational intentions ,of course. As a result my brother was a stammer  for decades. Later I got his colaboration and only so we both cured his defect.

First of all , your son is your child but he is now an adult, you need to get his perfect colaboration. Without it, you remain with good advice in hand without any practical result. Recognize that something happened in his past life that caused his stammering  Now he need to start avoiding certain words and situations which cause a difficulty in speaking. And you must to observe it, then you'll realize what caused his defect.

Once day I saw my brother drunk and speaks well. I was in shock,but suddenly I understood that there is a big fear of speaking. It means there is a lack of self-confidence. I think here is the best place for some sessions of hypnosis for your son , if you observe the same behavior.

The most effective improvement we got, and you too, is exercising you both , half hour, each day for a few weeks. The goal is to alter destructive feelings that promote stammering and get a fluency speaking.. One exercise is to  slowing down the speed of his speech.

another exercise that works like crazy is  prolonging each word , even each sound. Between each word he will take a deep breath

With understanding and patience from your side and a positive ambition from his side , I am sure you'll get a correct speaking.

Today all from our family passed away. I and my brother , the two with gray hair, are speaking  a lot, normally and with a perfect fluency. You both can too.And I hope I helped you a bit.

Answer 3

I have a stutter/stammer myself and personally I dont believe hynotism can "cure" it.

I think there are techniques that your son can learn to help him stammer less.  He should go to his doctor and enquire about being referred to a speech therapist.

You know what though?  I think the best way to reduce stammering is feeling comfortable in yourself.  I know you are trying to help him by wanting to help him get over his stammer but he may feel that you dont accept him as he is.  This could may him even more self consious, and stammer more!  I stammer less when I am relaxed.

I wouldnt say that he has to overcome his stammer if he is to have a successful career so dont worry.  Im not saying its easy and he'll never face discrimination, but there are plenty of people who stammer in work.  I work in social care-where I have to do lots of talking to lots of different people everyday!

Good luck.

Answer 4

There are a few things you can do to help with stuttering.  The most extreme is speech therapy.  Breathing exercises, hypnposis, singing and voice lessons can also help.  It also depends on how bad your stuttering or stammering really is.

See if he can get a referral to a speech therapist or phone a speech therapist who specialises in stammering.  There is a 65 page book on the internet called Stutter No More.
