Relief From Stuttering: Laying the Groundwork to Speak with Greater Ease

A compact resource "Relief From Stuttering" offers direction and support to individuals working on their own, with professionals, and in support groups to speak with greater ease and provides information to share with others to help them understand what it can feel like to have a stuttering problem and what can be involved resolving one.

"Relief From Stuttering" reminds us we are more likely to experience ease by embracing what we fear rather than by resisting it. Inspirational in tone practical in application, the collection includes the papers: My Personal Experience with Stuttering and Meditation, Creating Conditions for Change, My Stuttering is Me, Doing the Work, What to Expect from Mindfulness, and the deeply reflective, Why Seek Therapy. All papers were presented at International Stuttering Awareness Day Online Conferences.

With the commentaries on each written for this book, we are encouraged to commit to honoring self-worth, fearlessly facing fear, charting a path of change, and selecting and using helpful assessment metrics.
