Today's Stuttering Quotes (10.05.2013)

ACCEPT YOUR STUTTERING

you might say to a friend something like “you know that I am a stutterer and frankly I have been ashamed to admit it. I need to be more open about my problem and may need your help.” Any real friend will appreciate your frankness and will feel closer to you as a result. Besides you will find that people are interested in stuttering. Teach them about it.

Today's Stuttering Quote (07.05.2013)

The speech behavior patterns that have usually been associated with or identified as stuttering vary from person to person, and from time to time with any given person.    (D. Williams)

Today's Stuttering Quote (03.05.2013)

Needless to say, each stutterer must from the beginning of therapy accept the responsibility for his problem. This implies self-therapy which is essential. (Stromsta)

Today's Stuttering Quote (01.05.2013)

No one but myself improved my speech. Others have helped me by providing information, giving emotional support, identifying bias, etc. but the dirty work of therapy is, and always has been, my responsibility. (Boehmler)

Today's Stuttering Quote

There is nothing wrong inside your body that will stop you from talking.You have the ability to talk normally.
(D. Williams).

Today's Stuttering Quote

You must be willing to endure temporary discomfort,

perhaps even agony, for the long range improvement you

desire. No one is promising you a rose garden. Why not

take the time and effort now for a lifetime of freedom from

your tangled tongue? How can you do this? Break down the

global problem of stuttering into its parts and then solve

them one at a time. No one said it was easy. (Emerick)

Today's Stuttering Quote (26.04.2013)

A valuable precondition for a successful therapy is the

deep inner conviction of the stutterer in the manageability

of his disorder, combined with a fighting spirit and a readiness to undergo hardships and deprivations if needed—

hopelessness, pessimism and passivity being the deadliest

foes to self-improvement. (Freund).

Today's Stuttering Quote (25.04.2013)

"You will remain a stutterer as long as you continue to pretend not to be one."
