Thanks for your question! In order to improve psycho-social factors I usually accomplish a specific everyday life in-vivo training. I always aim at a confident handling of stuttering. By different kinds of anxiety reduction techniques, practicing outside the therapy room, making phone calls while using pseudostuttering, real stuttering or certain speech techniques, the client is desensitized gradually and can experience his capability to manage different kinds of speaking situations. I appraise every step the client makes. By continuously reflecting the client`s achievement we try to strengthen his self-confidence and the confidence in his communicative skills as well as in his ability to handle stuttering and participate in all kinds of communication situations.
