From Stuttering to Fluency: Manage Your Emotions and Live More Fully

From Stuttering to Fluency: Manage Your Emotions and Live More Fully is the first book showing how to use evidence-based, cognitive behavioral therapy and selected stuttering modification techniques to eliminate stuttering. This inspirational “how to” book shows you why current stuttering therapies fail to produce lasting results. Unlike other books on the subject, From Stuttering to Fluency directly and systematically addresses the attitudes and emotions associated with stuttering. The emotional control techniques taught in this book show the person who stutters how to overcome fear and shame and live life to the fullest. From Stuttering to Fluency shows how an attitude of self-acceptance, combined with speech manipulation techniques, reduces blocks and struggling speech, and increases speech fluency.
