Good afternoon. I am Anastasia Tenina - a body-oriented psychologist, neuropsychologist. One of my main areas of work is the correction of stuttering and logoneurosis in children and adults. Today I want to share some of my observations about getting rid of stuttering, not so much about the methods, but about the processes and practices that are written and broadcast by people who have “independently” recovered from stuttering. Please do not consider the word I put in quotation marks as an insult; there is a justification for this - all the methods were already used by someone and somewhere described and borrowed from them, that is, one way or another, these people resorted to the help of other people, directly or indirectly. All previously stutterers who “on their own” got rid of this illness, including John Harriston, who wrote the book “Rethinking Stuttering,” note long-term work on the process of getting rid of stuttering. They trained for years and underwent various psychological trainings. Every year we made more and more new efforts, noted the results and processes of changing the form of stuttering. Just think about it - YEARS OF TRAINING! To my professional regret, people who have trained for years using various methods are now offering to get rid of stuttering in a short course, missing the fact that it was thanks to long and constant training that they were able to recover completely or partially from stuttering. Treatment for stuttering is a long process. Of course, you can hope that after 10 sessions of audio training or speech training your stuttering will go away, but let’s look at it from the perspective of physiology and physical psychology. Stuttering is a process of conflict between the work of brain structures and the body, or rather a mismatch. (Tenina A.S.) In the process of growth and development of a child, emotional charge and behavioral reactions are added to this process. Question: If it is scientifically proven that stuttering is the tip of the iceberg, in the depths of which there are hidden dysfunctions: - brain structures; - tonic activity; - autonomic system; - proprioceptive sensitivity; - psycho-emotional perception; - sensorimotor development; - age development; - work system breathing; - speech motor development, etc. Will speech training be enough? Will it be enough to work on one direction? If Yes - and only speech training helped you - I congratulate you - you have a mild form of stuttering. It is necessary to have a multifaceted approach to the treatment of stuttering, and be sure to take into account all of the above systems, and then success is guaranteed. In the articles, I will pay attention to all systems, the disruption of which leads to stuttering, as well as ways to overcome them that I use in my author’s course. Thank you for reading my article.
