Challenging speaking situations for a person who stutters: An inspirational story.
For the first time in my life, I could say whenever I wanted.
My stammer was killing my confidence. How I fought back!
With every tribulation, there is now also ease which wasn’t there before. With my new way of speech, I am ready to embrace all the challenges that life has to throw my way, and I intend to take them head-on, eloquently.
The “Beautiful Interruption” of talking to people you don’t know – talking to strangers
When starting a conversation with a stranger, there is a very high probability that they will be receptive to you. We are by nature, social creatures, and as such, we generally welcome interactions with others. But for people who stutter this can be a fearful scenario and we wouldn’t dare interact for fear of rejection or simply not being understood. But now with the control taught by the programme, it’s made easier and starts to become fun.
My personal interview experience as a person who stutters.
My experience being on the programme and how it all led to a great interview experience.
Showing by example, living with a stutter/stammer is like living in the trenches!
We held our second course for 2019 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands at the end of August with 3 new students joining our programme and 20 returning members, who came back to work on their own speech. No matter how many courses I attend, I’m still amazed at the transformation of people who stutter, who get to grips with their stuttering n such a short period of time. But it’s important to state here, that this is only the beginning of the process (a life-changing process) and that there is a lot of practice required, with dedicated time and effort required to maintain the gains achieved during the first course.
Making long-lasting changes by developing new habits to overcome stuttering.
Four weeks ago, we held a very successful in-person course in Newry, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. 11 New Students attended the course…
Every parent’s dream! Working on his stutter transformed my son from a timid youth to a confident adult.
Last month, we returned to Newry, Co. Down, Northern Ireland to hold our FIRST In-Person course in over 2 years. 11 New Students attended the course and they worked really hard over the 3 days. The parents of the under 18s also attended and they played an important and active part in this course in encouraging and helping the new students overcome their stutter. A great team effort!
