Lee Lovett : Stuttering & Anxiety Self-Cures: What 1,000+ Stutterers Taught Me

Lee Lovett : Stuttering & Anxiety Self-Cures: What 1,000+ Stutterers Taught Me I don't know if any of you are familiar with this guy or the book he has written, but it sounds interesting. Especially if you haven't had much luck with conventional therapy. This is his personal story with stuttering and how he overcame it: [https://speechanxietyanonymous.org/pwss/lee-lovett/](https://speechanxietyanonymous.org/pwss/lee-lovett/). His plan of attack is roughly: Talk as much as possible when you are in a fluent state, and try to have as few as possible stutters when you're not. Use tricks, avoidance or just silence if absolutely necessary, but try to minimize traumatic stutter experiences. Through hearing yourself talk so much when you're fluent and having so few stutters, you eliminate the thought of stuttering more and more. By doing mindfulness (self-hypnosis and auto-suggestion) you reduce the thought of stuttering even more. Learn to don't plan your words, because then you also plan stutters. Think quicker than the stutter basically. And focus on something other than stuttering while talking, for example, the intonation of the emotion in your voice. Eventually (3-4 months on average) you will need to use the tricks less and less, and you stop seeing yourself as a stutterer and stop stuttering. So most of this isn't really conform with the conventionally accepted theory of stuttering, however, a lot of you probably haven't had any succes with the conventional methods, so maybe try something else. The main reason why I bought this book and share it, is because of the enormous amount of positive reviews. On amazon the book has 68/69 5 star reviews. He offers free personal lessons through skype and is genuinely devoted to helping people stop stuttering and truly believes that stuttering is not necessary. I really hope this works.
