After-Stuttering: Stuttering recovery rate I want to talk about the after - stuttering aproach. It is usual to try to elaborate a formula or to make a change in your mindset or mechanicals speech system, so the next time you get to talk you dont get stuck on your words. But...... Sometimes is just imposible. **You know you will stutter no mather what.** Regardless if you try to relax or you loosen up your muscles or you try to medidate the anticipatory thoughts. You have no choice. The situation or event is of a high degree of anxiety and you will most likely to stutter. The question is: **¿How do you treat yourself after stuttering?** I often feel a big rush of embarassment and guilt inside my body. I feel like a just want to disappear. And then come the self punishment. I start judging and criticize myself. Beating myself up. I get angry and dissapointed. Sometimes I feel sad too. Then it comes the OCD. I just can´t stop thinking about it. About the situation and what I could have done. I just can´t let it go. Sometime I feel the feeling the hole day until I go to sleep. Then I wake up and finally ended the sensation. Until the next encounter... So... It comes to my mind: **¿Is this productive?** Well... I think not. I think is perpetuating the stammer mentality. It is feeding of the negative feeling to make sure the next time I will stammer again and again. Is a vicious circle and I dont event know I´m traped on it. **¿What can we do then to make a more positive aproach?** If sometimes you will stammer no mather what then your only aproach is what you do after you stutter. If you change the self punishment for self love you will make a hell of a difference. If you change the compulsive thinking for acceptance you will feel calm and more like yourself a lot faster. You will stop feeding the stuttering. The faster you recover and feel more like youself after stuttering, the less fear of stuttering you will have on the future. Because you will know that the next time you stutter you will be just fine. It will pass. The person who stutter has a compulsive thinking about stuttering before and after they stammer. In doing so they perpuate the symtoms and the probability of stuttering on the future. They keep coming back and back to the thought like a trauma event. Maybe, the people who are non-stutterer is not that they dont feel the blocking urge. Is just that they recover to quick after the incident. They recovery rate is too fast so they are way more fluent. They are not worried about stuttering in the future because stuttering can´t harm them on the present. They let it go instantly. Thanks for reading and keep going.
