Advice to those who stutter

BILJANA

“What I learned here is to put the focus on breathing, and I never focused on it before. I simply thought that it is something in my head or in my throat, I don’t know, but I realized here that it is the breathing which is important.”

Dr Vorobiev / Interpreter Jelena: Good afternoon, our next participan from our school of those who conquer stuttering is Biljana. She will tell us about things which are important for achieving such result. It is great that you decided to rejoin the therapy after six months. There was over twenty people in that group, but only five people from that group are present now, which is great. Those are actually the people with the largest desire, motivation and just tell us where did you find that desire and strength to work, to practice.

Biljana: Motivations comes from the fact that we are now able to do some things we couldn’t do before. It is just the satisfaction we talked about during our first meeting.

Dr Vorobiev / Interpreter Jelena: Give us some advice to those with stutter on what to focus and what to ignore.

Biljana: What I learned here is to put the focus on breathing, and I never focused on it before. I simply thought that it is something in my head or in my throat, I don’t know, but I realized here that it is the breathing which is important. Things to ignore? Maybe the other people. How other people react to us who have a problem.

Dr Vorobiev / Interpreter Jelena: That’s what the doctor keeps telling you, stop paying attention to the others, what other people think, be egoistic and focus just on yourself. Is that right?

Biljana: Yes, of course.
