Stuttering help
-
Are there any help for stutterers in Singapore? Especially if it's free.. a little intro about me, i have been stammering since kindergarden, i think i developed partially because i was forced to write with right hand in childcare centers before and also due to bad parenting. Even though life is much better, stuttering has become a part of me, I try hard to not think about it and talk normally, still, the sudden pauses in my speech is really hurting my pride.
Currently I am in Diploma in Architecture year 2 in SP, but due to some family problems recently my stammering has became worse, i have improved in the previous year but it worsen again. Today, I did a self introduction for my gems class, i stammered like what I did, previous years, back I can feel that it has worsened, I felt like an idiot. From that moment onwards, all I wanted to do was to get rid of my stammer, I made a point to do some effort to get rid of my stammer or at least don't let it weigh me down in my life, I want to control it.
Are there any stuttering/stammering associations or groups in Singapore that help people like me?

the therapy is in your continual oratorical practice...the reasons could be multiple....but most importantly is your resilience and confidence....here is how an unknown and humiliated stammer turned the greatest speaker of all times...Demosthenes
Demosthenes Practising Oratory. He used to study in an underground room he constructed himself. He also used to talk with pebbles in his mouth and recited verses while running. To strengthen his voice, he spoke on the seashore over the roar of the waves.

I know that, I have researched this topic on stammering since years ago, I have only found people who stammer for their life. I don't want to stay that way, I want to improve and ultimately be in control of my own speech. It is not like I am a stupid person, I am good looking and I know I am a person with a bright future, but I just want to be in control of my speech, I don't want to be stuck with it. I have practised speaking before presentations it helped me, but in casual chatting with my peers sometimes I really wish I have more control, even though it is not bad.

I stutter until I was in secondary school, I cured myself by practicing reading with music in the background.
Somehow when I read while listening to music, I don't stutter.
Then without music, I don't stutter anymore.

Watch that King George movie....he stammered terribly too. It takes patience and practice. Can be cured.
I think it's called "The King's Speech".
