Hi Karim,
thanks for the information.
We have something that we believe is much more helpful: our Group Practice Sessions and our weekly SAM Meetings.

As a member of WSSA, you can join as many of these meetings as you want.

The Group Practice Sessions are precisely that: in small groups (usually not more than 8 people) of PWS and PWSS you talk to each other, practice Speech Plans and Crutches, you learn from how others use the, you help each other…. Many of my students say that these meetings have been one of the things that have helped them the most.
The link and schedule of these meetings is in “Resources” -> “Daily Practice Sessions”.

The SAM Meetings are larger meetings (on average there are around 25-30 attendees including coaches, PWS and PWSS). Some of our SAM Meetings are open discussions, where anyone can ask questions, and we discuss about them (we usually have these open discussions on the first Saturday of every month).
In other SAM Meetings we have a main speaker, who is a PWSS and talks about how they stopped stuttering and their speech journey. After that, everybody is invited to make comments and questions. Finally, in other SAM Meetings, one of the coaches talks about a specific topic related with stuttering and speech.
So, as you can see, in the SAM Meetings you can meet Lee Lovett and the rest of the coaches, you can meet othe PWSS and PWS, ask questions, or simply attend as a mere listener. In any case, here you’ll learn the latest updates on our Neuroscience Method to Stop Stuttering.
To join these meetings you need to click on “Resources” -> “Speech Club Hangout & Therapy”. You can watch the recordings of our past SAM Meetings in the “Videolibrary”, and then, in the filters on the left, chose “Speech Club”.

Finally, we also have a whatsapp group that members can join. The link to join is in “Resources” -> “Daily Practice Sessions”.

I hope you find this helpful!

My best advice, due to the time difference, would be to watch recordings of the SAM Meetings and coaching sessions. There are many where we drill Crutches and Speech Plans, so they should be very helpful.
The best way to master the Crutches is practice, practice, and more practice. Practice them when you read aloud, use them when speaking in low-pressure situations too, even if you don’t need them.
And, of course, if you need extra help, you can always purchase coaching sessions.
I’ve coached people from Australia before, so my morning time is your evening time, so we can make that work if needed.

Thanks Brianna! We will contact you very soon and assign you a coach.

Hello Susan! Welcome to WSSA! I’m glad to hear that you are finding this program helpful. It has helped many achieve fluency and love to speak. I used to be a very severe stutterer, and within a few months I became a PWSS, and now I’m one of the coaches of WSSA. It would be great to see you today at SAM, our weekly speech club (https://worldstopstuttering.org/speech-club/). You can learn a lot from these meetings, as you will be meeting the coaches, Lee Lovett, other PWS and PWSS, and learn from their experiences with this program.
Please keep us posted with your progress!

Hi Damian! Like Farooq said, welcome to WSSA! I’m sure that once you master the Crutches, have an Emergency Speech Plan to use in high-pressured situations, keep your mind clean of negative thoughts and keep hearing massive amounts of fluency every day, you will eventually become a PWSS and learn to love to speak anywhere, including public speaking.
Do keep us posted with your progress!
Try to make the most of this program. It has helped so many, there is no reason why it won’t work on you. I’d recommend you to watch at least 1 video of coaching sessions every day, to attend to the Crutch Practice Sessions whenever you can, to the weekly SAM Meetings too, and, of course, if you need private coaching, let us know!
