Well so far it has been a very informative book. It's really written for Speech Pathologist's but he does not use any technical language for us non Pathologist's. The book is really centered around the idea that most stuttering or "blocking" as he calls it, is based on the attempt of the "blocker" to try think for the person they are speaking to by knowing for a fact that the person will judge them for stuttering. It makes sense to me. When talking to myself out loud, my dog, or anything else that cannot judge my speech, I do not stutter. The only thing that I haven't come to agree with what he say's is that stuttering is usually brought on by some traumatic event in ones childhood. I've been racking my brain for days and have yet to recall anything that would have brought it on. Here's a great quote from the book that describes my situation perfectly: "When I stutter, I always find myself rehearsing in my mind the exact words I am going to say because I may need to substitute some trouble words. There is always an anxiety and fear of what will happen when I stutter or block. How will the audience react? Will they laugh or look uncomfortable watching me strain to get the words out? Will I be a failure in their eyes?" In the two days since I've started to read the book, I've made an effort not to think in that way, and miraculously my stuttering has decreased significantly. I actually held a 20+ conversation with someone at work with not one block! TL;DR Relax and don't try to read other peoples minds and decide that they are judging you for stuttering.
