The Anatomy of Stuttering
Are you looking for a secret method or a magic pill? Well, I don't have a secret method or magic pills.
The "SECRET" to beating stuttering is in eliminating block-creating speech behaviours and changing the way you think and perceive yourself, people, situations and the world around you. Your current thinking and behaviour interfere with your flow of speech and leads only to blocking and struggle.
Unless you change, nothing changes.
My approach will help you change all that and find your naturally effortless fluency.

The Mindset of Stuttering
My revolutionary and life-changing approach is based on the premise that stuttering is NOT a disease neither it is a speech problem. Stuttering is an emotional problem that affects the whole persona and is driven by The Mindset of Stuttering. It is an intricate system that consists of erroneous feelings, emotions, perceptions, thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs.
The Mindset of Stuttering affects all domains of life, not just speaking.
Fluency is a by-product of you becoming
more fully and authentically yourself.
If you remain the same, your speech remains the same.
ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
I'm not God. I don't heal anything.
Stuttering is propelled by the Mindset of stuttering, typically characterised by fear, low self-worth, trepidation, timidity, anxiety and self-consciousness. Most of it is unconscious, which means you are NOT AWARE of what leads to fear and how blocking is created.
I provide expert guidance and practical advice to help you see exactly how you create stuttered speech, identify behaviours/perceptions that automatically lead you to blocking, and ultimately gently guide you to making effective adjustments to your current mindset that will ensure gradual shift from anxiety and fear of interactions to composure, and ease.
In essence, I facilitate the process in such a way that you heal yourself.

Your experience of irrational fear, panic in the face of mundane, non-threatening speaking situations (i.e., a phone call) doesn't constitute the proof of a neurological disorder but is a clear indication of the Disorder of perceptions.
In simple terms, being scared (shitless) of something that is not scary/dangerous/life threatening doesn't mean, or prove you have a brain disorder, but it does mean there is the fundamental problem in your perceptions.

Awareness is the key to dissolving stuttering (not curing) as stuttering is not a disease.
As an ex-PWS and a psychologist, I creatively use a combination of psychological tools/practices to help individuals raise their level of awareness, and understanding of themselves, and dissolve their long-term stuttering. The process of coming out of stuttering is gradual. It requires your commitment and determination. My method is NOT a quick fix.
To dissolve stuttering, ironically, one must forget speech and look beyond stuttering.

When activated by certain situations or people, the system - The Stuttering Mindset, automatically produces certain behavioral and emotional reactions (i.e. holding back, controlling, mental rehersals, feeling suppression) which manifest in stuttered or blocked speech.
By engaging in a range of unproductive, block-conducive behaviors and habits acquired over the years of living with the problem, a person is kept disconnected and unaware of how she/he unconsciously perpetuates the problem. The person lives in an all-consuming state of fear, anxiety, mental rehearsals, perfectionism, and desire to please and be liked.
A situation gets out of control, whereas you think “stuttering just happens” and there is nothing you can do about it. Stuttering just controls your life.
The truth is, YOU CAN, but to do this you need to become acutely aware of how you create your blocks.
You will need to become aware of what happens to you psychologically way before you even open your mouth to speak.
My students show improvement within the first weeks. However, I understand people are at different stages of their recovery when they join my programs, some are severe, others less severe. Therefore, you won't be expected to run if you still struggle to walk.
My method incorporates a range of effective and elegant techniques, for those who still need them. Your speech will sound totally natural and effortless using the tools I offer.
Stuttering is a problem that shows up in social settings when you interact with others. Therefore, all the tools I teach are highly practical and applicable in everyday speaking situations and are inseparable from life you encounter.
Any techniques are to be used ONLY temporary. They are your safety-net before you fly.

Yes, I do.
I conducted independent research among 283 PWS, which vividly demonstrated that speech is largely affected by emotional states brought about by the thinking patterns (the Mindset) of an individual.
My research, although independent, is not isolated. There is a growing body of research available that demonstrates how our emotions (chronic emotional states) can affect our mental and physical well-being and cause various ailments. Speech anxiety is just one of them.

Yes, you can. It's thinking and feeling together!
In fact, you can think yourself into anything; a state of sheer panic and trepidation, or peace, confidence, and composure. Your stuttering is driven by the Mindset which is the specific way of perceiving and relating to the world, other people, speaking situations, and even yourself.
If you currently stutter and experience impending sense of dread in speaking situations, become rigid and tense, as if preparing for an impact. If you are scared and experience panic attacks, this means that you do have the Stuttering Mindset, and it needs changing, if you are to approach social situations in a state of calm, confidence, and composure an unlock your natural fluency.

Stuttering will control your life, it will “drive” you as long as you are unaware of what happens, once you ARE aware you are in the driver's seat.
Now, YOU control stuttering! And, you can stop it!
