As I explained below in my answer to a comment, stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder so it can't have started because your uncle "cursed" you. It is more likely that you have a genetic predisposition and that's why you developed your stutter. What is more important though is how you handle it now that it worries you. Here are things I work on with my clients: Breathing: Become aware of your breathing at rest. Put your hand on your belly and feel your diaphragm moving. If you are not sure where your diaphragm is, take a deep breath in and push your belly out. Then exhale and feel how your belly deflates. That’s the work of your diaphragm. Most people who stutter have too much muscle tension in their body during a stuttering episode. Notice if you hold your breath when you stutter. Try to relax your belly and keep on breathing throughout your stutter. Relaxation: Stuttering gets worse the more you struggle against it, are anxious to hide it and feel that it has a hugely negative impact on your live. This is a vicious cycle because more anxiety leads to more tension in the body and more stuttering. There are many really helpful techniques to help you relax – even in a stuttering situation. Find something that suits you best, be it Mindfulness, Progressive Muscle Relaxation or Meditation, and practice it 10 min every day. Confidence: Increased confidence leads to less tension which in turn leads to less stuttering. Try this little exercise: notice your thoughts before, in and after a social situation. Are your thoughts helpful? Did they help you relax, or did they make you feel worse? Thoughts lead to emotions which lead to actions. If you want to change your stutter, you have to stop being your worst critic and start being your own cheerleader. These are only some very brief ideas, something I would do with a patient in their first session. I would then continue with fluency techniques, but these are unfortunately to complex to describe in a nutshell. Nobody can change their habits by snipping their fingers and none of the above suggestions work if you try them out once a week. They require daily practice. If you are really determined to want to improve your stutter, I would strongly recommend finding a Speech and Language Pathologist who specialises in stuttering and can teach you techniques and help you to incorporate it into your daily speaking habits. All the best!
