hi sir, my name is zubair yousuf & i am a student of commerce, i m from Kashmir India...pl z tell how can i control my stammering, my life became nightmare for me..pl z reply sir as soon as possible..

Answer
Dear Zabair

If you can find an Alexander Technique teacher to work with, they should be able to help you. The technique consists of learning not to react straight away to the desire to speak, because this desire always produces the same reaction which in your case is to stammer. A teacher will help you to learn to stop before the old habit has taken hold. The teacher will then help you to maintain better overall use of yourself while you prepare to carry out the act of speaking.

You can read more about the Technique at my websites - www.alexandertechniquelondon.co.uk and www.alexandertechniqueoxford.co.uk - or at www.stat.org.uk. There are a few teachers working in India; you can find out about them at http://india.alexanderteacher.net/ .

I am sorry that it has take me a while to reply. I have been having a lot of trouble with my emails recently.
