Desensitization Radio Review (II) Desensitization

Desensitization Radio (II)

Already after a few days and how the interview went, step, which I feared that would happen. The nerves and pressure of time was not as talkative than he wanted to be and transmit everything I wanted to convey, but of course, when you say that you a very long time in the answers, the microphone in front of your mouth (it was the login or visual stimulus struck me and hence my stuttering), and try to sort the ideas, then ... the end ... what happens happens .. that one is not clear. But hey, I am aware that these assumptions, given to all interviewees and so is the radio .... What I wanted to convey ideas?

Indeed, the interview was on Radio Nacional of Spain, Spain Direct program.

- 5% of the population ever stuttered, and now stutters 1%. Thus, there is a 80% spontaneous recovery usually in childhood.

- The child age ratio is 2 to 1 girl children who stutter. In adulthood, the ratio varies to 4 1. That is, in 4 men who stutter, stuttering is a woman.

- structural and functional differences between the brains of stutterers and non stutterers.

- that the nerves do not cause stuttering, but that catalyze.

- Therapies reinforcement of fluency and modification

- Stuttering in the Speech Therapy curriculum is so void. Just a couple of topics or subject as much.

- Lack of one of the greats of speech therapy, Charles Van Riper, by the community of speech therapists.

And things I had targeted. He had a sheet on both sides.

Is seen that in this type of interview, you have to focus on a message and not try to argue the answer that but, since if you stretch out.

The interview was conducted in Eduvoz . And taking advantage of this blog, possibly to read the journalist and the director of the center, I read that your answers have fallen well within the Foundation members that do not fit very much what they believe. What I think? would have to sit and talk. That brings me to the following reflection. " If the media does not make us talk you fucking case for us than the stuttering and what we know about her, and just ask us how to live with the stuttering, how when we will be in speech therapy discordacia community? . One thing is certain, before the interview we talked the director and I, of course, teach the book of Van Riper (yes, I know, my book, my book .. lol), we talked and talked, and finally a gesture that I liked very much worthy of imitation by many other professionals, he said something like .. "go .. seems I have to learn many things from you." From here, I'm your disposal Mary.

A if that, I hope I have conveyed in this interview at least, they may stutter (with some nervousness and pressure of time ...) and nothing happens, both for those who stutter to the listener. That may be stuttering, and reasonably happy. This is what ultimately concerns me most. And, one has a responsibility to convey a message when it is leading to thousands of listeners. Did

positive?. I have done one thing about 7 years ago. NEVER would. Speaking live on radio. "Another positive thing? Standing in front of a bus, blocked in the middle of the radio, and out of a block more or less smoothly and consciously ... for everything else ... ;-) Mastercard. 2min: 29seg (although I say the word working as usual ... and it's a bug!, You have to go more slowly, deliberately and smoothly .. in short .. I have a lot to improve as see.

More positive? the conversation I had with the driver who took me to Madrid Alcalá.

More positive? receive phone calls and sms from friends, telling you they are proud of you, you're not alone on the road ... for everything else ... Mastercard.

Well, I leave the interview (thanks to Joseph who was very skillful in getting)

Radio II

Desensitization I can still

Radio notice some wet fingers, after speaking with the journalist who interviewed me tomorrow to mark the International Day of Stuttering.

The interview will be, as I understood, as a group. With speech therapists in a hospital or specialist and myself. Them to talk about stuttering, origin, causes, treatments, ... and I to talk about how I have lived with stuttering, as I have been conditioned. In short, the usual. I do not know, at least asked for comment on the therapies and say, "that therapy is a shit .....". But, as we are not experts, we can only comment on how the suffering ...;-).

Finally, it is what it is. But we can do something to say a little? YES! , I think so. see. I'll make a little guide that I asked, and should answer.


Interviewer: "How have you been in your life suffering from the stuttering."
Felix: "In general terms, I went well, I can not complain much, however, stuttering has conditioned me a lot in my social relacciones. I wanted to participate more of them, but the stuttering stopped me. And it of course, you spoke as little as possible to show their stuttering less and less chance of possible rejection or social group.
But 7 years ago I received by mail the book that changed my life. The Treatment of Stuttering by Van Riper. With this book, I started to see another way of looking at stuttering, "fluent stuttering" to dissect the stuttering, desensitization, anti-stuttering reactions, secondary behaviors, timing behavior ... and I started to follow more or less orthodox. And to the guy to change the therapy. Following on from then, I was stuttering conditioning less and less, and in fact, but would not be here, speaking to thousands of radio listeners. "

Interviewer:" What treatment recibistes? "
Felix:" I was in treatment One year and a half with a speech, but at the same time, I was reading the book of Van Riper, performing the tasks proposed in the book. Doing therapy every day. They told me greatly improved, almost one told me he did not think was going to speak as he did. On the other hand, it is a pity that this therapy is not studied in the diploma speech, and that we continue today with the same old therapies. "

(If we can talk more, then talk about the Hunters Group , phone calls ,...)

Interviewer: "How have you been affected?".
Felix: "With regard to working life, if that affects anything. There is a certain threshold, where the stuttering does not matter if you fit the profile you are looking for the company. Whereupon, in the first interview, I was not able to finish any sentence, which (I think), I called. Then in the following, and as I was doing interviews, I was more relaxed, and my level supogno stuttering, do not pass that threshold, and was hired as normal. But many stutterers who can not lower the threshold, and are very difficult to enter the labor market, they being very valid. "


Well, I think esan are the questions. I could go more, but between both specialist and speech therapist I'll be like ...." your street who has no fucking idea and only suffer stuttering and they are the ones who know about ...". Anyway ... as you see, this is my belief, which may be wrong, but is that always has been. But I think we have a very important opinion to say, in question of how to validate may or may not be a therapy.

***** and I'm good with the blog that has been interrupted by a call from a colleague at the "pebl" (= people) and a pair of "Copisa" next to my house ..-**** *


Anyway, I lost the thread, but I think the above summarizes the objetivos.Mañana we will catch up on some basic facts before going to the radio.
