Therapy for teenaged and adult stutterers
Comprehensive Stuttering Therapy
is a stuttering therapy program that you can follow from your home and can help you to effectively and durably control your stuttering by addressing
every single element of the stuttering phenomenon.
Comprehensive Stuttering Therapy
will teach you how to relax the muscles of your larynx as well as other
techniques directly addressing the speech mechanism. These techniques alone
might help you control your stuttering in the short run but are are probably insufficient to ensure you a long-lasting self-sustainable fluency. For this
reason, Comprehensive Stuttering Therapy
also includes exercises targeting the other aspects of the stuttering
phenomenon.

Re: How to reduce stuttering
and speak with increased fluency. |
A comprehensive approach
Stuttering is a complex condition involving much more than
the disfluencies that non-stutterers notice. The bulk of the stuttering
phenomenon is hidden. Stuttering affects the whole person. Stuttering includes
destructive feelings, perceptions and emotions such as shame, embarrassment,
guilt, low self-esteem, frustration and fear of particular speaking situations.
The stuttering phenomenon also encompasses unusual behaviors such as irregular
breathing patterns, eye contact avoidance and word substitutions.
Treating such a complex condition requires a comprehensive and holistic approach
that addresses each and every aspect of the phenomenon. If one aspect of the
stuttering phenomenon is left unchecked, the stutterer is very likely to relapse
after a few weeks or months.
Comprehensive Stuttering Therapy is not a cure
Stuttering is
not a disease and therefore cannot be cured. Stuttering is a condition that,
with the help of adequate stuttering therapy, can be successfully controlled. Comprehensive Stuttering Therapy,
as its name implies, is a therapy and is designed to help you control
stuttering and increase your fluency.
Understanding stuttering
Comprehensive Stuttering Therapy
provides in plain English the basic knowledge needed to be
able to grasp the complexity of stuttering. Stuttering can be compared to an
iceberg: 90% of the mass of an iceberg is hidden below the surface. Similarly,
the bulk of the stuttering phenomenon is hidden. Non-stutterers are usually only
aware of the disfluencies (the tip of the iceberg) and have no idea about what
is going on 'below the surface'.
Stutterers know
that stuttering means a lot more than disfluencies. Stuttering is a complex
issue composed of many different elements: negative feelings and emotions,
strange behaviors and misconceptions that affect every aspect of a person's
life. You will learn how these different elements interact with your speech,
reinforce your disfluencies and sabotage your efforts to become fluent.
Stuttering obviously cannot be effectively and durably eliminated if these
hidden elements are ignored. Effective stuttering therapy should consider and
address the entire stuttering phenomenon.
The exercises
Part II
of Comprehensive Stuttering
Therapy is composed of 30 exercises that
are designed to help you to
effectively and permanently control stuttering. Some of these exercises directly
target the speech mechanism while the others aim at altering your
self-destructive emotions, feelings and behaviors.
You will find
below some of the topics that are dealt with in these exercises:
-
Relaxation of
the muscles of your larynx. Stutterers have a tendency to involuntarily tense
the muscles of their larynx and this causes stuttering blocks. Relaxing the muscles of the larynx is not easy because they are difficult to locate and you
will be taught how to relax them properly.
-
How to breathe
in a way that promotes fluent speech. Stutterers often have irregular breathing
patterns and you will learn how to breathe in a relaxing way and how to promote
fluency by properly synchronizing breathing with speech.
-
How to
emphasize the vibration of your larynx and how this can help prevent stuttering
blocks from occurring.
-
How to avoid
triggering the contraction of the muscles of your larynx, mouth, lips and
tongue.
-
How to
positively alter the perceptions you have about yourself, your stuttering and
other people.
-
Anticipations
about speech and communication with others.
-
The importance
of eye contact.
-
How to deal
with your emotions and prevent them from affecting your fluency.
-
How to speak
without resorting to word substitution or fillers.
-
Discard the
hidden intentions that unconsciously sabotage your efforts to become fluent.
-
How to prevent
stress from interfering with your fluency.
And many more...
