You struggle with stuttering and the all-too-familiar complexities (and challenges) that it brings to your life. I mean, you are probably familiar with many of the following problems. The crippling anxiety caused by the prospect of standing up in front of a group of strangers (or people you are familiar with) to give a speech or even just to speak up to contribute your ideas to a conversation. The fear of speaking up in social settings to avoid your stuttering becoming the focus of attention. The defeating feeling that comes from being steamrolled in an argument because you can’t keep up the verbal pace with your adversary. The fear of calling someone on the phone… even it’s just for something as simple as ordering food. The frustration of receiving “therapy” from someone who has never felt any of these things firsthand and the simple reality that all they know about stuttering was conveyed to them in a book or through an instructor who also likely does not truly understand the problem. If you can relate to these things, I’m sure you have received “professional” treatment from therapists who have never had the problem, don’t know what it really FEELS like, and don’t know firsthand what works and what doesn’t…You can continue with the treatment you’re receiving now which is likely yielding nothing but frustration and high recurring fees. You can succumb to the frustration of ineffective treatment and take no action at all.
Or you can work with a person that understands firsthand the psychology and frustration of stuttering and let me teach you how I taught myself how to achieve fluent speech.
