Have you tried buyinig a humidifier? (I’m not sure if it’s called like this in English…. it’s a device that makes the place more humid) They are not expensive, and they sell it in Amazon, for example. They might help you with that. The city where I live it, the air is very dry, especially in Summer, and my throat really notices it.

wow, I’m not sure about how to categorise that, but I’d say no…. But in any case, one thing you can do is to do an AST after waking up from that dream. Never forget that you are the boss of your mind. Don’t let anyone or anything try to take that control from you.

As a PWSS I firmly agree that you can love to speak (why not??). But as a PWS, I guess it depends on the severity of your problem. I used to hate it. But I’ve known some very mild cases who didn’t care about their stutter, as it did not interfere with what he wanted to say and momentum.

Hi Estefan,
I even used to get up 30 minutes earlier than usual to do my first self-hypnosis treatment. I still do it, and I don’t regret it at all.
At work, I hada post-its all over my desk and screen of my computer reminding me to speak like a King and other Crutches. If at that moment I was alone, I would read aloud all my emails and things I normally have to read. If I was with other people, I’d do it in a whisper to avoid disturbing them.
At home, instead of watching TV or doing nothing, I got a book and started reading aloud and practice with the Crutches.
When exercising , or walking to my office, in the supermarket, when exercising, I would say my auto-suggestions or listen to the recordings of those instead of music.
I admit that listening to the recordings at night tends to affect your sleep, so what I did some days instead was listening to those while working (maybe for 5 or 6 hours).

What can I say… It became my nº1 priority, and I don’t regret it. It has changed my life. The thing is that you can do most of these things while you do what you usually did.

What we’re saying, Adam, is that if somebody doesn’t follow the instructions, well don’t expect any improvement. If you don’t even give it a try, well, then don’t say it doesn’t work…
That’s why it is very important to firstly believe that you can stop stuttering. The second step is, logically, to start applying the method.

thanks for those kind words, Leah. I try to improve every day,. no matter how good I already am. That’s one of the things that I’ve learnt from Lee’s books, and that’s one of the good things of stuttering, and why now I consider it a blessing. Because I’ve learnt mind training techniques, the Crutches (they also improve my speech, not only help me avoid having bad incidents), and read (aloud too) a lot of books, and I’m always trying to find new ways of improving myself, learn new things, be as loving as I can, reject negative thoughts of all kinds….
I doubt I would be doing all these things if I didn’t found Lee and WSSA.

If we don’t believe we can actually do it, we will never do it. If the mind denies it, since the problem is 100% psychological, there’s not much that can be done in that case.
On the other hand, if we believe we can do it, we will eventually do it!

That’s true, I also used to speak like you just described, Gábor. And that also applies to most of the PWS that I coach.
If we want to get different results (fluency), we must do something different, and that is precisely what you said: speak like a King/Queen, passionately and with feelings, inserting pauses, with extreme pronunciation…..
