Help Me To Speak [Part 5]

This film follows the extraordinary story of stuttering children struggling to break out of their isolation and learn to speak. Stuttering, also known as stammering in the United Kingdom, is a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, words or phrases; and involuntary silent pauses or blocks in which the stutterer is unable to produce sounds. The term stuttering is most commonly associated with involuntary sound repetition, but it also encompasses the abnormal hesitation or pausing before speech, referred to by stutterers as blocks, and the prolongation of certain sounds, usually vowels. Much of what constitutes "stuttering" cannot be observed by the listener; this includes such things as sound and word fears, situational fears, anxiety, tension, self-pity, stress, shame, and a feeling of "loss of control" during speech. The emotional state of the individual who stutters in response to the stuttering often constitutes the most difficult aspect of the disorder. No single, exclusive cause of stuttering is known.

@NathStar69 Congrats man, hope all is well in the courses and your future is bright, I have been stammering since 5 i am now 22, I do dance and can express my true self that way, though have been to some of the best therapists in the country, and still this curse will not leave me, though sometimes it lets go of its hold and i can talk normally, other times its hold is more tehn i can bare, no one in my family understands though they tolorate it if needs be, it is both frustrating for me n them!

@HumanDichotomy To be fair, i still haven't gotten the help i need (Joanne speaking). Although the stammer slowly went away by itself and i can now speak relatively fluently. Even though i still stammer, its not as bad as it is here. All i hope is that Nathans and Mudiaga's got better too :-)
