Thank you for sharing your story Bryan and Charlie. I really enjoyed the piece and like how you framed some points about 'readiness for change', 'not letting setbacks hold you back' and 'taking responsibility to becoming your own Speech Therapist'. What also separates an excellent clinician from a good one is that Charlie was able to relate your own life experiences and analogies (related to boxing) to make therapy 'stick'. Without getting into much detail, I think there is a lot we can learn from personal construct psychology and sports psychology to help coach our clients whether it be changes in attitudes/emotions or the physical aspects of speech. Thanks agains! Kind regards, Voon.
