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.
