instead of seeking some "professional"'s help with hypnosis, why not "hypnotize" y'self for free?  how?\n\nmeditate.  think it's hard?  it is SO not!  sit alone in a quiet room and just relax.  find yourself.  you might feel silly at first, but that's fine--no-one is watching you.  visualize y'self being calm and collected.  even practice talking if you want, but do it slowly and calmly.\n\n(there's more to meditation than just sitting with good posture and chanting "ohhhhhmmmmmmmm"..  it's the mindset y'go in with...  and come out with.  with that in mind, painting can thus become a meditation.. as can dance, jogging, laying down, or to heck with that!  sit with good posture and chant om!  oh, and don't worry if you can't clear your mind y'first time out.  it may take a few sessions to finish flushing out y'brain!)\n\n:)

You didn't give enough information about yourself but you may be suffering from "social anxiety disorder". Look it up on the internet and if the symptoms fit your description, there are medications that can help. I've had a lot of success with and prescribe a beta blocker called "propranolol". I tell my patients to take it before they give a speech or engage in social events. The medication helps but the real treatment is psychotherapy...

There are many treatments for stuttering, none of which is 100% effective. Traditional speech therapy reduces the frequency and severity of a stutter and teaches stutterers to use effective communications skills, such as making eye contact. While not a cure, speech therapy can lead to more fluent speech patterns and is especially effective in early childhood. The duration or type of therapy needed varies among stutterers but usually involves both speech training (articulation, intonation, rate, intensity) and language training (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics). Depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, common treatments may range from physical strengthening exercises and repetitive practice to the use of medication, electronic devices, and neurosurgery.\n\nBehavioral and cognitive therapy\n\nBehavioral and cognitive therapy is the most common approach to stutter treatment. Such therapy usually involves the development of new speaking habits and attitudes towards speech, often including exercises in manipulating rates of speech, establishing new breathing patterns, practicing relaxation, and targeting troublesome sounds. Breathing control is often emphasized, which focuses on proper control of the diaphragm. Proponents of this method see uncoordinated movements of the diaphragm as the core cause of stuttering. Another area sometimes emphasized during speech therapy is Valsalva training, which is training that specifically targets blocks by focusing on the gaining of greater control on the bodily mechanism that produces a block by halting airflow, the Valsalva mechanism (See External Links for more).\n\nAlso, during behavioral and cognitive therapy, efforts are made to increase confidence through repetition and positive feedback, to help alleviate the anxiety and fear associated with speaking. While individual or group therapy with a licensed speech pathologist is common, self-therapy is also a very popular practice, mainly due to its lower cost, convenience, and lower pressure. The stutterer invests in the necessary books or tapes and spends varying amounts of time per day doing exercises similar to the exercises used in professional speech therapy. Therapy usually provides some improvement to most individuals within a few weeks or months. But, like most therapy for other disorders or afflictions, it often requires constant attention and practice to maintain success. Other, less-accepted methods include everything from hypnosis to laughter to art therapy.\n\nMedication\n\nThe use of medication that affects brain functions has also had limited success in increasing fluency, although it is usually used in conjunction with behavioral and cognitive therapy and may have side effects that limit its long-term usefulness. To date only two medications, haloperidol and risperidone, have been shown to be effective in a rigorous double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Unfortunately, both drugs have side effects that limit their usefulness, with haloperidol having more severe side effects than risperidone. The largest study of risperidone for stuttering was completed by the University of California Stuttering Research Group. In the study, rispiradone improved fluency and was well tolerated by the participants. However, side effects associated with changes in levels of the hormone prolactin developed and the medication was discontinued. Another drug, olanzapine, is similar to risperidone and haloperidol, but has a different side effect profile and has not yet been tested under a comparable double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. While the medicinal treatments for stuttering have vastly improved over recent years, there is still no medication that can "cure" stuttering. Like traditional speech therapy, medications can only decrease the frequency and severity of a stutter.\n\nElectronic fluency aids\n\nOne recent trend in speech therapy is the use of electronic fluency aids. These devices are mostly based on alte

Well,perhaps you need to slow down a little so the saliva in your mouth has a chance to dry/be swallowed. I had and i mean-Had a friend who did that to me all the time cause she just rambled and rambled and......

Yeah, stammering is definitely not professional, and will make people think you're unprepared even if you know you're ready. So, because its obviously caused by nerves, take a very deep breath. If you're still stuttering, pinch yourself lightly on the arm. This helps me because it focuses my attention on one thing and helps me feel more alert.

There is no sure fire cure. Hypnosis has helped people, exposure and medication. Some fears can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the body although this called paranoia and not a phobia

It sound like you have a fear of public speaking, even in small groups.  It is very common and nothing to be worried about.  If you would like to work on it, force yourself to start up conversations with strangers you come into contact with.  If you want to get real bold and see real improvement, check into taking a public speaking class or acting class.  Even if you feel like your embarressed all the time in those classes, they will give you the practice you need to overcome your fear.  Most public speakers will tell you that they have a little fear all the time even if they seem totally confident on the outside.

practice and know what you are going to say. The more confidentand comfortable you are, the easier it is to speak in public. \n\nremember almost everybody - even the smoothest of speakers has some anxiety when talking in public - it is only natural.

I used to be, but then I joined up with toastmasters international.  It is a group that is designed to help you not only overcome your fear of public speaking but also improve your speaking ability.  It is also a great way to network with successful people in your area.\n\nIf you are nervous about speaking in public you should look into it.  Good speaking skills are valuable in most jobs :-)

Honestly there is no easy fix for this. You just have to put yourself in a situation where you have to talk. If you are really that uncomfortable with it and you are in school consider taking the dreaded speech class. It will force you to get up and talk in front of people. The best way to get over a fear like this is to tackle it. Hope that this helps and I wish you luck!

I saw a show once, I believe it was 60 minutes.  They were profiling this hearing aid type device that helps a stutterer not to stutter.  Maybe you can tell him to go to a linguist to ask if they have heard of such a thing.  I only saw it that one time and it was a long time ago.\n\nI just looked it up go to: stutteringcontrol.com  the machine is called the fluency master.
