”Några nycklar till att förändra sitt tal”

Over the years i have been observing my clients both stuttering and non-stuttering, observing myself as well as interviewing those who achieved success.

Here are factors I believe are essential for success when it comes to change:

1) Taking responsibility for your own change. Even when working with a coach, it is you who does the work. A coach can guide you, however, it is your internal and external journey. People who know they are the ones who make the change are more likely to succeed.

2) Focus on the source of the problem, not the symptom – in case of stuttering – mental processes that create blocking, not blocks themselves.

3) Looking for possibilities not obstacles. Those who look for  people who achieved freedom and flow and who collect evidence that it is possible are more likely to succeed then those who look for possible difficulties and evidence that they may fail.

4) Curiosity and focus on self-growth rather then simply ”fixing” a problem.

5) Desire to learn how their mind operates – figure out how they create their responses, how they think.

6) Relentlessness – firmly believing that their brain can learn new ways and refusing to give up.

7) Optimism – noticing successes and refusing to dwell on failures. Seeing failures as stepping stones to success.

Bra påpekat Anna! Bra att ha några utgångspunkter, när man skall ta itu med sin stamning och börja talträna mot ett mera flytande tal. Som synes är det en hel del att ta ställning till. Det är bra att ha det nedskrivet så att man kan checka av, när man behöver. Det kan vara svårt att ha 7 punkter i huvudet för jämnan. Därför är det bra att kunna ha en nedtecknad referens att gå tillbaka till när det behövs om minnet sviker.
