If you can speak fluently in even one context,
you can speak
more fluently in any context.
You already have the skill; it’s just a matter of breaking free from the interferences” - Bob Bodenhamer
Once you understand what you are doing inside your head to block/stutter, you can
re-train the brain not to do that. you can teach your brain to take the knowledge of speaking more freely, you already know
how to speak and can transfer that knowledge to other contexts of your life.
I am flawed'.' I am broken'. 'I am not enough'. 'I can't be enough'. 'I am timid'. 'I am shy'.
I am shamed.' 'I am possessed.' '
I will always be a stutterer' - that's just the way it is.
Fear - shame - Anxiety - Tension (Blocking) - Frustration - Inadequacy - Embarrassment-
Loss of control - Hurt - Abnormal Rejection - Isolation - Anger - Self-Pity
- Other people validate or determine my worth - what they say about me becomes my truth.
People judge the content of what I am saying.
- People in authority are only interested in their own viewpoint; therefore, what I say will always be wrong to them.
I must protect myself from being hurt by others. I need to be respected and loved in order to speak more freely, and allow the possibility of becoming more fluent.
- I must conceal my emotions. I need to change. I should be doing better. I can't be enough. I got to do something.
I have got to fix this problem. I am doing something "bad" to other people when I stutter. others seem to speak more freely, it seems to work for everyone but me!
- I am worthless as a human being when I do not perform up to others expectations (perfectionism).
My total value as a person is how I perform and especially "how" I speak.
“The biggest difference between stuttering and fluency
is that fluent individuals do not think about stuttering”
- Bob Bodenhamer
Letting Go and Expressing Yourself More Freely
by MASTERING your BLOCKING and STUTTERING,
workshop has so much to offer you towards gaining more freedom in what you say
Learning the skills to speaking more freely, can assist you to Gain more Fluency
more often,
by learning the 'Keys' to Mastering Your Dys-fluency
In the Five days of training most of you will be entering into a brand new field of exciting discoveries. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) which has been around since the
mid-70's and is being utilised everyday in Business, Corporate, Education and in Personal training, achievements and success. Newer still is the field of Neuro-Semantics® (NS) which L. Michael Hall, Ph.D. and Bobby G Bodenhamer, D.Min established. From these two fields of study, you will be experiencing some of the latest technologies in learning how to manage your own mind and control your own states - including learning how to gain state control in speaking more naturally, more fluently
and gaining freedom of expressing yourself.
These two fields provide many different techniques for one to experience in learning how to manage one's own states and thought processes. Indeed, they have numerous case studies that prove that these technologies provide effective techniques for the person who blocks/stutters (PWBS) to learn fluency. I suggest you visit Bob's website at www.masteringstuttering.com.
In learning to speak more freely, and achieving the ability of gaining more fluency, more often, one must learn how to gain control of one's own states in all circumstances. Why is it that most PWS can speak freely in some contexts - like when by themselves, when speaking to a spouse or some trusted person or when speaking to a pet and block in other contexts?
What is causing this to happen? Now, does it not stand to reason, that if a person can speak freely, and often fluently in some contexts, that his/her mind-body system knows how to speak freely and more fluently in all contexts.
Does it not make sense that one does not need to re-learn how to speak?
That the person just needs to learn to move what they already know about speaking into other contexts of his/her life.We have learned that PWS do so due to negative thought patterns (mental frames of mind) that have been unconsciously learned.we have learned that blocking/stuttering is nothing more than a panic attack expressed in those muscles that control breathing and speaking.Treating blocking/stuttering is the same as treating panic disorders that NLP and NS have been successfully treating for many years.
This workshop allows you to understand the mental structures that determine whether or not you block or whether or not you speak naturally. You will discover your personal strategies and structure of blocking which will provide you with the tools that will assist you in minimising and the possibility of eliminating those old mental frames of mind that create the fear and anxieties about blocking that indeed trigger the blocking.
You will have more "Choice" as to whether or not your thinking triggers your blocking or whether or not it triggers your natural voice. you will learn models that have proven to be most effective in leading many PWS to "speak more Freely"
It is just that simple at the base level - blocking/stuttering is primary a learned behaviour and therefore can be un-learned.
- The workshop is based on the latest research and findings from the cognitive behavioural sciences of Neuro-Semantics and Neuro Linguistic Programming and specifically the work of Dr Bob Bodenhamer.
- The manual workbook gives you added value with materials used from my own personal trainings
and workshops, which include Time Line Therapy and Mind Powers, and many profound Learning and Behaviour models of change
- This programme is based on Dr Michael Hall’s (co-developer of Neuro-Semantics) revolutionary “Matrix Model” and John Harrison’s “Stuttering Hexagon”.
- The Keys To Speaking More Freely workshop uses technologies known to destroy the “structure” of stuttering/blocking and replace it with the “structure” of freedom of speech.
- This workshop will affect not only your speech, but also your total self
and your whole life in new and delightful ways.
- It will change not just your blocking and stuttering behaviours, but the whole structure of being that supports those behaviours, into freedom of speech.
You are not a stutterer - You are a whole person who 'may' stutter from time to time.
You are so much more than your speaking - stuttering /speaking is a behaviour you are doing - learn how to change the behaviour
Stuttering/blocking is not only a way of speaking.
It is also a way of thinking and ultimately of living.
Fluency is not just speaking more freely -
but also living more freely about what you are doing
It is about freedom, having choices, and realizing your full potential
in all areas of your life.
There is so much more to you than the way you speak.
Discover how you can and will easily express yourself more freely, and comfortably.
