Quick apologie to the coaches

[Adam Werth]

My quick apology to any of the coaches who make have found some of my posts negative in the past week…..

You simple don’t know me and you had no idea that my posts weren’t meant as negative or out to bash anything……..

But how many are hearing crutches used by NON PWS all along….’

We are hearing non PWS change words and leave words out and beat around the bush and modulate their voices all the time……….!!!

Hi Adam!
The magic of the Crutches, and why they make our speech sound not only fluent, but NORMAL (and not robotic or unnatural, like some of the methods that other speech therapists and programs teach) is that fluent people use them too, without noticing in most cases.
In any event, the ones who’ve read your Success Story, we know that you’ve gone though a lot, and that your speech journey hasn’t been easy at all, and it is great to see you so happy and simling when you come to our SpeechAnxietyMasters Meetings on Saturdays.
Have a great day!!

Hi Adam,

To echo Javie, that is the beauty of our crutches. Our methods do not make us end up sounding robotic or unnatural. Why would I want to exhale on every single word, or sound like Robocop? This is exhausting and does not sound natural at all. I am sure that anybody who comes to the SAM will agree that I speak immediately, like a fluent person. There is nobody in the world who would be able to tell that I used to stutter unless I told them so.

I have not thought about my speech in years. For the first time in my life, I feel FREE. I do not believe that the people concentrating on their breathing, movement of their tongues, movement of their mouths, planning their words (the list goes on) feel free. What an exhausting and draining life to live!
