I stutter. Do I need a speech therapist? -
It took me ten years to go for my own speech therapy back in the day. So, as I often get this question from people who stutter, "do I need speech therapy for stuttering?" I want to share why we actually need it, why you, in particular, might not need it, and how to choose a speech therapist wisely.
Here is a recap of this video:
0:28 - Action. The first thing why we need speech therapy is getting from thinking about stuttering to taking action. It might seem like it's really close from intention to doing something, but you perfectly know that there are a million miles between knowing what to say and actually raising your hand.
2:30 - Getting started. Some people might say, "No, no, no, I'm not ready to expose myself to speaking, to public speaking, and I'm not ready for the speech therapy either." I'm giving my advice on how to get started and move faster than I did back in the day. :)
4:32 How to choose. When we finally decide to take action, to change something in our life we see so many speech therapies, experts, gurus, programs, courses! And the first thing we see is false promises. The most important thing to realize is that there is no quick change.
5:59 - Shame (mistake). The second thing you want to take notice when you're choosing your speech therapy or program is how it deals with the inside, with the emotional side of speaking, with the mental side, with our attitude, with what we think about ourselves. In other words, with our stuttering shame.
We want to be clear that stuttering is not a "mistake." There is nothing to beat yourself up for. We want to feel good about ourselves and about improving our speaking as well. There is nothing wrong with working on your speech.
7:33 - Real life. The third element I want you to question is real-life. How your knowledge, your skills, your new techniques, your new speaking, the way you speak now will move from the therapy room to real life.
If public speaking is not part of our strategy we become prisoners of the therapy room, that's what we conquer, that's where we feel good, but it stays there. So, don't buy into the privacy thing, seek real results from real people.
9:23 - Journey. When you go for the speech therapy you want to realize that this is the beginning of your journey. A journey not only in terms of the speaking stuff but more importantly the journey of self-exploration, building your confidence and self-esteem, becoming more open, active and positive about yourself.
