Lee’s Speech Anxiety to beat stuttering Hi all. I love this community and hope we all get to our goal soon. A member of this community reached out to me about this book titled Speech Anxiety written by an ex-stutterer. I’ve read half the book and am thinking about joining the community to get access to their weekly sessions and help guides. The book basically outlines a plan/methods to follow to beat stuttering: 13 crutches to combat stuttering, affirmations you say daily/self hypnosis and the overall idea that stuttering is not a life long sentence. An example of a crutch is to take out the first letter or syllable in a word you’re having difficulty with: instead of saying reading, say “eading”. I would say the crutches help but I still stutter so badly in high pressure situations like an interview or a work presentation. and God I hate it. I was wondering if any of you have tried reading this book? It cost $10 monthly and a flat fee of $100 to join. I would pay a great deal more if I know it’ll fix me.
