Does anybody twitch or their body kicks when thinking of a moment?
Does anybody twitch or their body kicks when thinking of a moment? Like right now, I was thinking about how I had to say grace at my gf's house on Thanksgiving and it was a little uncomfortable for m...
im sometimes like that on the b-ball court, if they dont hear me the first time. i just say nvm lol...
Great book. Recommend it to everyone. I dont know how much logotherapy is used today but the example you gave I think is mostly on point. I havent heard of paradoxical intent, but Joe Sheehan spoke ab...
Yeah but, at least from my experience, being told to speak slower actually has an opposite effect. I get more nervous and stutter even more....
I hate when people remind me to speak slowly. However, it does help me greatly when I remember. My trick is to watch some videos of speeches featuring a great speaker that is not afraid of silence. ...
From my experience, stuttering is caused by some sort of brain activity that is not letting you think enough about speaking. In my experience, that activity is social anxiety. You probably don't stutt...
yeah these random situations when somebody (important) asks u something which has a specific answer to it, gets me to stutter most of the time, or to block....
That sounds like you were almost 100% fluent? That's really good. Even people without stammers stammer the odd time so one word going wrong is nothing to be embarrassed about. ...
Yeah I think speech Saturday is fine. ...
How does it make sense? I don't know. For me it always depends on how relaxed I am. When I am really excited about something, I stutter with almost anyone in front of me. However, I noticed that espe...
I am no Logotherapist, so I cannot fully answer on that (any psychotherapists in this sub?). However, V. Frankl describes the application of paradoxical intention on a heavy stutterer and it worked li...
Are you sure you're supposed to be applying this sort of thing to stuttering?...
I'm not sure the point is to "stop"? We have some speech therapists in the house, I think, maybe they can weigh in on this one. But it was my understanding that this technique merely contains the stut...
I've heard of people who practice fluent speech by purposefully stuttering on words they normally don't stutter on. With this they try and get better control over their stutter - meaning they can sto...
Apologies, I'll continue this next week, and sticky in every Saturday. Name suggestions? Speech Saturday? Idk, something more positive as you said....
I believe the problem with family is that, as they have listened us stutter for some years, they tend to tell us those terrible things like "come on, speak slowly", which make us nervous and puts pres...
Yes, I stutter when I don't sleep enough. I am a fluent speaker normally and my vocabulary is good. But problems started when I started working in night shift. If I don't get 8 hours of sleep, my flow...
Mine was always the worst with family, particularly around holidays. Strange....
Logotherapy and paradoxical intention
Logotherapy and paradoxical intention I have just finished reading Man's Search for Meaning by Victor E. Frankl and at the end is a section about Logotherapy. I wondered whether anyone uses, has heard...
My week went pretty well. Got invited to a huge 3 day event in Miami with very short notice. I almost said no. Had to talk to a lot of people and really "work the room" during the event. My one on o...
