We offer a new and exciting approach to help and support people who stammer (stutter).
We believe that the key to better speech is having a technique that will allow your speech to stay strong in speaking situations.
For a more detailed website and blog about stammering (and speech therapy) outlining our approach and how it can help you please visit:www.stammerless.com
Our Approach in brief:
Costal Breathing
Costal breathing means breathing from the costal part of the diaphragm as opposed to the crural part that most people use when they speak.
You take a breath a little quicker than normal and speak. It's important to speak slightly deeper than normal, not so much that you sound strange. Speaking a little deeper helps to anchor your speech.
Assertiveness Techniques
These techniques include using effective eye contact, better posture, make the first sound assertive, formulation and good use of the pause, how to resist time pressure and talk when you're ready
Voluntary Stammering
The slide and hit and hold are two very important techniques when using voluntary stammering.
The slide allows you to prolong the first sound of a word before the word you have trouble with in a sentence. You can then slide through the feared sound. E.g. If I have trouble with the word 'tomorrow' and I want to say 'it's tomorrow', I can slide on the first sound of the word it's - i------t's tomorrow.
The hit and hold can be used on a feared word. you repeat the first sound assertively and deep then deeper still each time you say the sound. E.g. t (now deeper) t (deeper still) tomorrow
Voluntary stammering is so effective because by stammering on purpose you are telling your brain that even though you stammer you cope and get out of difficult speaking situations
Emotional Transformation
This involves dissolving negative emotions from previous traumatic speaking situations. You may or may not remember them but they still effect your speech.
By getting rid of these negative emotions you will be free to build a bank of positive, new speaking events that become good memories around speaking and will allow you to build confidence.
We offer one to one sessions, skype and phone sessions and a stammering support group and speech therapy course. Our clients come from Brighton and Hove, East Sussex and all over the UK, many from other parts of the world.
