LIve Stutter Free: 2012

Is Stuttering Your Friend or Enemy?

Since I started assisting Russian Professor Roman Snezhko in teaching his breakthrough Speech Education Skype Class for ELIMUNATION of stuttering to English-speaking students, I have received many questions and comments and the most common is a request for HELP: “I stutter so badly. I need your help.” It took me a while to realize that not all stutterers put the same meaning in this word and depending on what their state of mind is, they may be asking for a different kind of help.

That is why, I have come up with the following unusual, yet simple concept: each individual that suffers from stuttering has ONLY two options in dealing with a problem of stuttering. These options are:

1. Consider your stuttering your FRIEND, make room for it, and adjust your life to it…. Accept your stuttering and all limitations that it brings alone into your life.

2. Claim your stuttering your ENEMY, do not tolerate it, and never agree to it become part of your life…. ELLIMINATE your stuttering and all limitations that it brings alone into your life.

Such an approach towards stuttering is very simple and should make it clear in terms of the kind of help people who stutter are seeking for. Let me explain these alternatives in detail.

1. For those stutterers that are willing to accept their speech impediment as their friend, learn how to manage it so they could simply go on with their lives, I would strongly recommend to enroll into traditional or non-traditional speech therapy programs. Please, be aware that there are a lot of methods and techniques out there available today. Those programs do exactly this: help people to accept stuttering, teach how to live with it till the rest of their lives by using various UNNATURAL fluency shaping techniques and avoidance behaviors…. Some of them are really inexpensive, some even free.

If your goal is making friend with your stuttering, please, do not get in touch with me and do not ask me for help. Although as a speech professional with over 30 years of experience, I do know about those old approach methods and techniques, I refuse to use them today and would like to forget about them as we wish to forget about nightmares!

2. My approach is claiming stuttering an enemy! I am ready to help ONLY those people who stutter that have made a clear choice: they are ready to ELIMINATE their stuttering and with total commitment, do everything it takes to become NORMAL fluently speaking individuals. Our Speech Education program “ETALON”, a completely new paradigm, is the FIRST and ONLY one today that does exactly what it claims: it ELIMINATES stuttering.

If your goal is eliminating of your enemy-stuttering, then, you are in the right place. I suggest you stay with us, watch our YouTube videos, read our articles, ask questions (if something is not clear), and work out a plan in order to achieve your goal - with your full passion, commitment and discipline.

So, before you come to me for help, please, make YOUR choice!
