Kan det här vara den ultimata lösningen på det fritt flytande talet? Värt att testa! Absolut!

”…However, what makes Dynamic Stuttering Therapy unique is that at the same time that people who stutter work at changing their state of mind, they are also working directly to train their brain to use the same natural automatic process of speech production that is used by fluent speakers..”

Toastmasters – vad är det? Finns det i Sverige? Speaking Circles?

”…One of the founding members has suggested creating a more positive version of the ‘Ah counter’ role for this particular club; at least during its early stages of development.  We’re calling the role the ‘Flow Evaluator’, and guess who’s trialling it out next week?……………..yep, me!  So, rather than look out for and count people’s use of inappropriate hesitations, filler words etc, I’ve to comment on their ‘flow’.

So, any ideas how I can do that?  Apart from the obvious – ie. observe where there’s a lack of inappropriate hesitations and filler words.  I’ve to keep my comments positive, encouraging and focussed on building people up, rather than pointing out their faults.  And generally speaking, to comment on the evening as a whole, rather than pick out individuals.  I think this role’s a really good idea actually.

Anyway, any ideas would be very much appreciated J  Thanks.

Hur fungerar det egentligen, när man talar?

Hi!

You wrote: I’ve tried to tell myself ”Ok, when this happens. Stop. Relax. Take a deep breathe, and then speak… smoothly”. This is really not going to help, because you are asking yourself to do something that does not have anything to do with speaking naturally. It is almost impossible to relax when at the same time, consciously or subconsciously, you are pushing words out. Taking a deep breath isn’t speaking, and speaking smoothly is very abstract. What exactly does speaking smoothly mean to you? The best way to get over the fear of the big blocks is, when you are not in a fear situation, to learn how your speech system works to produce natural smooth speech. Carry out this process  again and again so that when you are afraid it will be so familiar to you that you can stay present and repeat what you have done so many times before.
