Stammering and tics can be the result of nervous tension in the face of perceived pressure to speak in public or perform well to a standard. When nervous pressure increases stammering can be detrimental in your life.
Imagine how much better your life can be free of stammering and able to control involuntary muscle tics. The increased confidence both outside and inside as you can control your tics and the higher esteem you now have.
Associated to tics is Tourettes syndrome where tics can manifest in outbursts of spitting, swearing, repeating phrases just heard and physical movement. These symptoms are largely out of control of the sufferer. Whilst hypnotherapy may not cure Tourettes but it can help by reducing stress in certain situations and increasing concentration by teaching self hypnosis and relaxation techniques

There are an almost unlimited number of phobias each particular to each individual. These phobias are exaggerated by the representations in our minds of how the phobia in question will affect us even before we encounter them. This internal representation then reinforces the fear and makes it stronger and the cycle goes on…
