Okay, so she sectioned out my therapy session (I had them for about a year once a week) into 4 or 5 parts. At first, she had me simply reading out loud. Not a book but 1 or 2 printer pages worth of material. The more diversity of syllables and letters the better. Then when I was proficient at that, she moved me up to describing images or art in full detail. The more intricate the better. Next came monologuing about any subject imaginable. But controversial or sensitive subjects are better to practice not stuttering. And finally, she moved me up to conversation with me and herself & other people in the healthcare complex. Oh and phone conversations like calling real businesses, services, event spaces, tourist attractions, etc (we had to get quite creative) and creating fake scenarios / asking in depth questions. Okay now, here are the techniques that she taught me that made all of this possible. 1. Take a deep breath and on the exhale start the word. Exaggerated is okay while practicing. 2. If you have to slow your speech down to focus on phonetic continuation (basically the natural flow of a sentence), then do so. Don't slur go so far as to slur your speech though. 3. When you feel a hard stutter block, don't panic. Instead work on soft contact with your mouth and tongue (vs forcing it out). 4. Don't use kick starters / crutches. No moving your elbow, no tapping your foot, no head bobble, no saying UM or sorry or like. 5. And please remember that "normal" people don't talk perfectly. They sometimes have verbal hiccups too. So don't strive to be a flawless linguist, that's not possible for anyone. Now, she also gave me homework in between the sessions. Read some kind of book, mag, novella, pamphlet, fanfic, or whatever outloud to 1 single person or a group of people in your comfortable immediate circle be they friends or/and family. It can even be just one paragraph or page to start out. Then progress to playing a trivia app with them or something else inbetween reading and full conversation. So practice the skills and "level up" with each type of skill. But don't get too comfortable. Push yourself a healthy amount. A tip just in general, I found that mindful meditation really helped me. Not just in my speech though. And remember, when you encounter a hard block, you know by now that it's nearly impossible to force it through, if at all. So instead for the time being, pause and take a deep breath and then calmly continue. Well, at any rate, this is my best explanation in a nutshell of how she helped me. I wish you the best of luck, lual1996!
