Ge akt på hur du tänker, när du talar…

”The main thing which I discovered was that when I was only half using
McGuire, it wasn’t the breathing that was making the difference as to
whether I was stuttering or not. What was making the difference was the
degree to which I was focussing on the language I was using. I could see a
clear cause and effect relationship going on. When I was seeing the words
in my mind and then trying to say them, I stuttered. When I was simply
focussed on a picture of whatever I was talking about, without much
awareness of the language I was using or how I was speaking, speaking was
much easier. This happened time and time again. For example, I was telling
my daughter what I was planning to cook for dinner one day and was listing
the different foods. To begin with, I was seeing each word in my head, then
trying to say it and I was having difficulty. So, I changed tack and
started to simply see a visual image of whatever food item I was listing and
then said the picture, without thinking of the word, and speaking became
easier. So – this past week it has really been driven home to me that
focussing on the words or how I am speaking, definitely interferes with my
brain’s automatic process for producing speech. In one sense I knew this
already, but I now realise it so deep that I am determined to completely
give up visualising words and to practise focussing on the non-verbal idea I
am talking about instead. I don’t know how long it will take me to
completely change this thinking pattern. All I know is that I have made a
start and am continuing on with it until I change this habit.”

Jag tycker att Hazels beskrivning ovan är intressant. Det handlar om hur man kan frigöra sig från stamningsinslagen som man kan ha i sitt tal. Det finns absolut anledning till att pröva att tala som Hazel föreslår. Alla som har okontrollerad stamning i sitt tal torde inte känna igen sig i Hazels beskrivning. Men jag gissar att det kan var en hel del som känner igen sig i Hazels beskrivning av hur man kan tala så att stamningsinslagen i talet försvinner. Det är ju bara att pröva sig fram. (P.E.) Håll ut! Det tar sin tid.
