Dear Vickie – So many thanks for your absolutely right message. You have understood the essence of what we do. Building confidence in oneself in order to own one’s stutter, and I can tell you that this has a definite effect on the level of fluency. Most of the time it is not a manifest change to others – but to the person who stutter it is significant enough to get him to have increased confidence in himself and to start doing things which he did no do previously. In fact, the self-help group acts as a catalyst that allows every one to get started with dealing personally with his own stutter. It is the start of a positive circle – leading to acceptance and reconciliation with oneself. Many thanks again – and you’re most welcomed to stay in touch with us. Jim.
