Hi Dr. Amster, In the previous thread you identified the political debates as an example of “best speakers” experiencing disfluency at times. This led me to wonder if any treatment approaches exist that encourage the client to review and analyze or consider and reflect on video or audio clips of such examples of disfluency? It seems to me that this would help alleviate some of the perfectionist thinking when combined with other approaches, CBT included. Hopefully this question doesn’t totally give me away as a novice in fluency (I’m a “second career” girl and so much of this is all new to me)! Thanks so much for sharing your time and expertise! Kind Regards, Rinda Boehm WCU – Graduate Student
