There is no reason that you have to live with this condition. First, you need to see an otolaryngologist (one who specializes in vocal disorders).

Why do I stutter when I'm nervous?

It is difficult to say for sure, but sometimes a situation in your past was difficult and for one reason or another you had difficulty getting your words out clearly or at all. Therefore, the next time a situation where you were nervous occurred, you became worried that you would stutter and this fear brought it on. Then after that, you have had difficulty with stuttering. Stuttering is caused by a physical and emotional condition. Speech therapy can be an effective way to reduce or almost eliminate this condition in many individuals. Some of the techniques are used in the award winning movie, “The King’s Speech”. If you have never seen it , I recommend that you do. I would be happy to evaluate your condition if you so choose, I have good success in helping solve women of these issues. Good luck and best wishes, Darrell Lauer, m.s. CCC/SLP

We have never acquired a definitive cause of stuttering but it is mostly thought to have both a physical and emotional component. It can occur because someone had an issue getting their words out earlier in their life and thereafter, this fear caused an issue. In other cases they have a motor issue causing a tongue facility that causes a stutter. In other cases there is.a combination of these issues. Speech therapy can help your sister overcome some of these issues. I have had success in helping patients overcome of these issues. Good luck and best wishes, Darrell Lauer, m.s., CCC/SLP
