SPEECH IS A RIVER: MY RECOVERY FROM STUTTERING

John C. Harrison, author of REDEFINING STUTTERING writes:
recently I heard from an ex-stutterer named Ruth Mead. Ruth had found my book, Redefining Stuttering, on the Internet, and was startled to discover that there was someone out there who shared the same perspective on stuttering that she did. As it turned out, Ruth wasn't the only one who was startled. So was I. In my 35- year involvement with the stuttering self-help movement, nobody, but nobody, had come closer to understanding the essential nature of the recovery process.
Ruth had written a book on stuttering, SPEECH IS A RIVER -- My Recovery From Stuttering that had sat in a drawer for several years. Why had she put it aside? Because what she had written seemed so foreign to the prevailing theories about stuttering that she was sure nobody would "get it". Then she found my book and suddenly everything she had been thinking was validated. There was someone else who shared her vision. And this someone, like her, had also recovered.
Ruth contacted me, and we started a lively correspondence. I am absolutely fascinated by Ruth's work. Ruth is a brilliant writer. She has a vibrant and entertaining style. She really has a handle on what her stuttering was about. But most of all, she recov- ered from a 30-year severe stutter in a way that I'd never heard of before.
You will find SPEECH IS A RIVER -- My Recovery From Stuttering, a fascinating read. And if you're someone who stutters, you will be introduced to a radical new perspective on the essential nature of stuttering and the path you need to follow in order to disappear it. You will be introduced to the new paradigm that the brain automates speech and just as the grass grows by itself. s[eech flows by itself, as long as we allow it to do so. Speech is a river. Don't push the rver.
