McGuire Program ****UPDATE**** Absolutely loved it excellent program. It was a life-changing experience. They have a very interesting approach. There not so into “you must speak fluently” which I loved. It was more of a way of dealing with your stutter instead of constantly hiding it, changing words in your head before a sentence, pulling faces etc.. I found it extremely beneficial everybody was very friendly we were all trying to help each other, it was very awkward at the start making eye contact with the person sitting across from you since I’m so used to not giving eye contact trying to be sweet and fast when I talk. I really thought people didnt want to listen when I talked since I took a couple more seconds then a fluent speaker. I was very wrong. I now have my own coach to call daily and lots of follow up support I can’t believe how happy I now am with my speech and how less awkward I feel when I walk into a shop, ask for directions or introduce myself to somebody. I really feel I have 90-100% confidence in speaking yeah I have a stutter, I get blocks I might prolong a word to get it out but I have complete control over it. Learning these 4 techniques was one of the best things I’ve done in my life. - Hit and Hold - Block and Release - Assertive - Deep Breathy Tone Pause - Breath - Speak - Release
