Life of a covert stammer

My name is uuu Umesh Rawat and I am a covert stammerer. A covert stammer is who can hide his stammer very well by easy replacing words and by with some other techniques(coughing, i just forgot hmmm..) . But at sometime, all of his techniques failed and he caught red handed. And this is most […]

Happy Independence Day!

Two news items for you, as you sip your morning coffee: First highlights the role of conquering your fear, instead of chasing “cure” or “fluency”, in a group setting (like Communication workshops run by TISA, from time to time): http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2011/10/29/how-stammer-sufferer-took-inspiration-from-the-king-s-speech-to-find-his-true-voice-91466-29684616/ Second is about the deeper need to CONNECT with other pws, EVEN when stammering is […]

Reflections..

“..A small reflection on stammering… recently I have been practicing more deep breathing and for longer periods along with concentrating on different centers at the same time(agya chakra and also the tip of my nose). Similar to the information I remember reading in the Valsalva (sp?) technique book X lent me, it seems to be […]

Stuttering mindset

Thanks to listening to Eckhart Tolle and my recent practice of mindfulness, I have been able to see some patterns of thinking, behaving, feeling and acting in myself and people around me, some of which make me laugh due to their sheer madness. Living in your head/Paralysis by Analysis: Recently I had to go to […]

A long journey

Recovery from stuttering mindset is a long – long journey. Why this is so? Why cant 10 sessions with a therpaist or a two week course help? Because underlying beliefs and values take a lot of time to change. For example, you may read somewhere: “Stammering is cool”. You may intellectually understand it but it […]

Can one day workshop help?

Stammering is a field rife with claims, counter-claims, guess, fMRI, genetic studies,  superstitions, old wives remedies etc. etc. You might see ads like “Cure stammering under nine minutes” and you will also find people supporting such initiatives! This makes a new entrant very skeptical, suspicious, doubtful and even cynical at times. What works? what does […]

Hello guys!!! i’m writing in the blog after a long time. Actually, i’m doing experiments with my stammer these days.i have given up using speech tools to modify the blocks.i was feeling pressurized 24*7 when using speech techniques. i was using these tools effectively in easy conditions but in feared situations, i failed to do […]

Fair exchange?

Exchange is fair? Always? Perhaps not. For example look at this: “I give you 2 kilo Acceptance, you give me five meter fluency.” “I told about it in the interview.  I should get appointment letter now.” etc. etc. Sounds familiar. We all have done this kind of saudebazi consciously or very often, unconsciously- with everyone, […]
