Looking for people from the Seattle area that are enrolled in Dave McGuire course. Or would like to do deliberate disfluencies together, in the city. Hi guys, I’ve been using the Dave McGuire program’s self-help book for about a year and a half. I love this program, but am looking maybe to connect with others in my area to support each other. One activity done in the program is deliberate disfluencies and disclosures (going out into public or placing phone calls, and stuttering on purpose then telling them we stutter). This decreases tension and fear in our body and thus stuttering overall. However it has been tough doing these alone and would like to possibly have some people to go around the city (I live in the Seattle area, USA) and support each other while doing them. Even if you are not in the McGuire program but looking to do this activity, I’d be interested in connecting. At the very least if someone can link me up to a group text chat for the Dave McGuire Program, that would be very helpful! Thanks. Comment below if you’re in the area or have any info.
