If you are a dedicated clinician, if you are a researcher open to new perspectives on stuttering, if you are in academia and want your students to know all there is about stuttering, if you want to feel more confident when people of all ages who stutter come to you for help, than you already know the frustration that people feel going through therapy for stuttering.
I don't have to tell you what you know so well...
You know that stuttering is so difficult to treat that the consensus believes that there is no way to give clients what they want - the ability to speak like everyone else.
You also have most likely faced the conflict of whether to help your clients learn to live better with stuttering or try, too often in vain, to be fluent.
After all, stuttering is a very perplexing problem. It is often situational, and is wrapped up in so much emotion. Even little children sometimes opt to say nothing because they are either embarrassed to stutter or simply find it too hard to speak. Whether you've tried every therapy option in the book, or avoid treating people who stutter, you know only too well that stuttering therapy is not known to be very successful.
HERE'S WHAT YOU
MIGHT NOT KNOW
Even if you have been fortunate enough to have found some ways to help your clients stutter less than before, learning to speak naturally is a totally different experience:
-
IT GIVES A DEPENDABLE WAY TO SPEAK
You will be guiding your clients to produce speech in the same way that normally fluent speakers produce speech. There is a cause and effect relationship between the way speech is created and the resultant speech fluency. When the process is natural, it follows that the speech produced will also be natural. -
ALL OF THE ACCOMPANYING INVOLUNTARY BEHAVIORS DISAPPEAR
Stuttered speech, along with facial grimaces, head and body movements, and even the feeling of not having enough breath to speak all disappear when speech is produced naturally. -
SPEAKING NATURALLY REDUCES SPEECH ANXIETY
The brain is functioning differently when speech is produced naturally. Due to over control and attending to too many things, there is brain overload when the system is not functioning naturally. This causes anxiety. Speaking naturally eliminates speech processing induced anxiety.
-
SPEAKING NATURALLY INCREASES INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION
When people are using techniques to control speech, it takes away from their ability to concentrate on their interaction with others. Speakers want to be free to think about the topic on hand, and listen to others without the distraction of worrying about how to talk. When people learn to speak naturally, their mind is free from thinking about how to talk. So, they can concentrate on the conversation at hand.
-
SPEAKING IS NO LONGER A CHALLENGE
Speaking can be a joyful experience when you are speaking from the heart, but most of the time, it is meant to be a very routine thing that is done without thought or effort. Speaking naturally takes the challenge out of speaking, and turns it into a humdrum experience that can be taken for granted.
A Clinician Master Class with a whole new perspective? AWESOME!!
But could there possibly be a totally different approach to treating stuttering? Could you really become a clinician who helps people who stutter become naturally fluent ???
Maybe you've tried some of the conventional treatment approaches, and it did help your client to stutter less. However, chances are they didn't sound natural, so they resisted using what you taught them outside the therapy room.
You might have had a great relationship with your clients and they were motivated to practice, but you still felt there was something else that was needed to make the therapy successful.
Even with the best intentions, and following the usual suggestions, you wanted to give your clients more, because you didn't want to feel that for some reason either they or you failed to achieve the desired goals.
I know this story well. I once felt so helpless when people who stutter came to me for help. That's why I have dedicated my career as a speech therapist to finding out how to overcome all the problems and false beliefs that have prevented people from achieving their desire to speak fluently.
Problem # 1 The Incorrect General Understanding of Stuttering
People believe that stuttering is a speech problem, a difficulty in being able to say words and speech sounds. This way of thinking is completely wrong. No wonder when the goal is to change the speech, to make it fluent, nothing changes except the extra effort to speak.
The TRUTH is that stuttering is just the way the speech comes out when the speaker is working too hard to talk. When using the speech system in the way it's meant to work, the speech is fluent without any effort.
Problem # 2 Underestimating the Innate Ability of People with a Tendency to Stutter to Speak Naturally
People underestimate their natural ability to speak fluently. Most people, even those who stutter severely, have moments when they speak naturally without any problem. These moments are usually overlooked or thought of as a fluke.
The TRUTH is that people who stutter have all the basic abilities to speak naturally, but they have developed the wrong way of putting all the parts of the system into action in the way that makes speech flow.
Problem # 3 Believing that Speaking Requires Control
Most people go to therapy to learn speech techniques or a way to avoid a block or get out of an existing one. They try very hard to do techniques that require constant monitoring and thought.
The TRUTH is that speaking automatically and without any conscious control is a prerequisite for speaking fluently. You can achieve natural fluency only when you give up control. That means that successful therapy doesn't add to what you are doing when you speak. Instead, it subtracts all the effort a person who stutters puts into speaking.
Problem # 4 Not Internalizing Gains
One of the biggest fears of people who go to therapy is that once the therapy is completed, they will have a regression. Somehow, they believe that the therapist is the one who made them fluent. They don't internalize the process that brought them to where they are.
The TRUTH is that speaking comes from within. Only the speaker can make the changes necessary, you can give your clients the step-by-step guidance and support they need to help themselves, they have to reinforce the process until it becomes second nature. Whenever clients thank me for changing their life, I remind them that it is they who changed their own life. I was a happy guide, You can be that happy guide, too!
Shh...I'm going to let you in on a little secret...
Even though you may not believe it today, There is a way that you can give your clients the most wonderful and successful therapy experience.
Your clients can make WONDERFUL changes that allow their speech to flow. They will be surprised at how easy and relaxing it is to speak.

FAQ
WHAT OTHERS HAVE ASKED
BEFORE SAYING "I'M IN"
This is a question that many people who stutter ask, or at least think about. It is commonly said, even by professionals, that there is no way to overcome stuttering, but in fact, so many people of all ages do become naturally fluent speakers. These are the people who have learned to do what you will be guiding your clients to do - speak naturally. There are many ways to stutter, but there is only one way to speak fluently and that is nature's way. When people follow nature's way, they get natural results, flowing speech.
One of the biggest reasons why people have this fear is that they don't understand the cause and effect relationship between process, including mindset, and speech fluency. Here, you will receive all the guidance you need to understand what is going on within your client and how they can make long-term changes.
Yes, but not in the way you might think. This course will teach you how people speak naturally. Your clients won't have blocks when speaking naturally. If at any time during speaking, they go back to old habits, you can guide them to change their process. You will learn how to do that and will practice doing it.
This is a question from a clinician who is motivated to give the best therapy possible. So, good for you for asking! Throughout the lessons, you'll learn the criteria for success and we'll go over all the activities. That's why I am offering the 6 live interactive sessions.
I can definitely promise you that speaking naturally results in speaking fluently, and I can promise that this is the way to go to achieve fluent speech, That said, there are no quick fixes. Dahm Dynamic stuttering Therapy is a program for making deep seated changes that will give people who stutter a sense of freedom that today is hard for you to even imagine. Furthermore, it is not hard to speak naturally, so clients could make some drastic changes pretty quickly. However, each person is different. Quickly or slowly, it's almost impossible for clients to not progress when following the program.
I like your concern for wanting to take this course all the way, even if life gets in the way. That's why you will receive downloadable recordings of all sessions. Also, if there are extenuating circumstances, I will do my best to make sure the lessons are clear to you.
