Breathing techniques…… Do they work for you?

As you might know, there are alot of other thearapies that spend a lot of time working on breathing. Do you think this helps?

I think it is the worst thing that could ever be taught to PWS. I think that with this way, people end up sounding like robots at best, and worst case, like they have asthma. I DO NOT want to spend my whole life concentrating on breathing while I speak. Speaking is supposed to be fun, not a chore!

I absolutely agree with you! The fact of being a PWS doesn’t mean that you have a breathing problem. And we should not try to control our breathe, the same way we don’t control the blinking of our eyes. It makes no sense, and when we do that, we breathe/blink in an unnatural way.
What do the rest of you guys think? Has any of your speech therapists ever asked to control your breathing while speaking?

Costal breathtaking is absolutely exhausting. I did a course where we had to use it on every word. Even if we didn’t need to? Bizarre
