Prescribe that one thing to me!
I remember when one of my daughters had an issue with pronouncing some sound (maybe “R” sound, honestly I don’t remember) we invited a speech-language pathologist I guess and she came, they did pretty much one exercise with my daughter and maybe we did it then for some short time, but in the nutshell, it was just one day, one visit, one exercise and it was gone, solved, fixed.
So, with stuttering, we also by analogy start thinking in terms of stuttering therapy, stuttering treatment, and it brings medical flavor, like pills, medications, like “Come on, give me something! What have you got? What is the solution for stuttering? Prescribe that thing to me!”
It’s a little more complicated with stuttering but please be sure I am going to prescribe you something very specific in this video. So stay with me.
First, I want to put aside devices, apps, and medications. I have a separate video on that and I don’t want you to give your power away. It’s your speaking. It’s how you feel. The real solution, the true solution if you would, should come from you, from within.
“Ok,” you might say. “Then there should be some exercise (maybe breathing exercise, relaxation exercise or articulation exercise), or maybe technique, or some practice like reading out loud, talking to the mirror, counting to 3 before saying what I want to say…”
“Something that I should be doing, I should be practicing, where I should bring my focus.”
