Psychology of illnesses - stuttering. Right side of the body

Hello, Alexander!

Stuttering is always associated with difficult relationships with parents. Most often with the overwhelming authority of the father. There is a whole range of measures to overcome stuttering.

1. Breathing exercises according to the Strelnikov method. Full complex exercises can be found on the Internet.

2. Psychological attitude. To implement it, you must remember that expectation always stronger than yourself desires. Let me decipher: when we passionately desire something (for example, not to stutter, to speak freely), but in our hearts we expect failure or a pitfall (we don’t believe in success), then we automatically get what we expect. Because this expectation comes from a deeper inner layer of our psyche. To change this negative attitude, you need to clearly track for yourself the moment at which the negative expectation arises and replace it with a positive one. For example, you are faced with stranger, and you need to start talking to him. On the one hand, you want to enter into a conversation freely and naturally, but on the other hand, you are already expecting failure (it is at this moment that you lose). And this expectation of failure gives a feeling of fear, even to the point of nausea. What to do? You need to learn to catch your fear at the very first stage, without waiting for the moment when it completely takes over you and you feel constrained. As soon as you feel the first alarming impulse, a harbinger negative thoughts, change these thoughts to the opposite. Start repeating affirmations to yourself. For example, such - “My speech flows smoothly and freely.” “I express my thoughts easily and naturally.” “I love communicating with people, and I easily choose a topic for conversation,” etc. It’s best to make your own affirmations. The main condition is that they should reflect positively what worries you.

3. This may seem strange to you, but in any negative there is a positive. because we live with you in a dual world. Think about it, what secondary benefits do you have from your stuttering? This is very important question. The benefits can be anything. For example. I haven't achieved anything in life because I stutter. Excuse me, but what about people without hands who draw beautiful pictures? A man without legs, on prosthetics, participating in a running competition. The great composer Bach was deaf and composed his immortal musical works.

Any implementation of ideas in life depends on motivation. If you have a strong motivation to overcome stuttering, you will definitely achieve it. It is important not to lose patience or despair.

P.S. There is a forum on the Internet for those who have gotten rid of stuttering. People share their secrets. Try to communicate with them.

I sincerely wish you success!

According to some psychologists, any illness is not an accident; there is a connection between the spiritual and the physical, between our thoughts and the state of our physical body. Having decided to put an end to any disease, you should first of all identify the mental (mental) cause of its occurrence. Symptoms of the disease are just a reflection of internal deep processes. You will have to go deep into yourself to discover and destroy the spiritual cause of the disease.

The list of mental stereotypes we have given was compiled by the American psychologist Louise Hay as a result of many years of research, based on her experience working with patients. We also provide an interpretation by Russian psychologist Vladimir Zhikarentsev.

Behind the sign MINUS written psychological reason illness; behind the sign PLUS there is a new stereotype of thinking that leads to recovery; sign SIMILARITIES reveals what the organ is responsible for in a psychological sense.

LOUISE HAY'S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USING AFFIRMATIONS (thinking stereotypes):

1. Find mental reason. See if it suits you. If not, think about what thoughts could trigger the disease?
2. Repeat the stereotype several times.
3. Introduce into your consciousness the idea that you are on the path to recovery.
4. This meditation should be repeated daily, because... it creates a healthy mind and, as a result, a healthy body.

Name of disease or organ

STUTTERING - found: 2

1. STUTTERING- (Louise Hay)

Unreliability. There is no opportunity for self-expression. Crying is forbidden.

I can freely stand up for myself. Now I feel comfortable expressing whatever I want. I communicate only with a feeling of love.

2. STUTTERING- (V. Zhikarentsev)

There is no feeling of safety. Lack of opportunity for self-expression. They don't allow you to cry.

Let me start with the fact that the cause of stuttering is still unknown to modern medicine. You can come to a doctor, he will pretend to be important and “all-knowing”, give some “smart” lectures, interspersing “incomprehensible” ones. medical terms modern medicine, if this disease is treated, it is only by the “accidental hit” method, but not systematically, because if the cause is not known, then accordingly there is and cannot be any method of treatment.

So first of all, what is stuttering? This is a speech disorder, which is expressed in the fact that a person stumbles with varying frequency on one or another sound of a word, usually on the first sounds. I should especially note that women suffer from this disease three times less, i.e. There are three times as many men who stutter. How could I explain this?

Of course, because women, as a rule, lose right-sided thinking to a lesser extent than men.

1. Those. they retain the ability to think on the right side, as all children do, regardless of gender during childhood. Therefore, it is reasonable for me to tell you to turn to the training “Development of the right hemisphere of the brain.” Be sure to start there. Next, do the training “Complete stop of internal dialogue” - be sure to achieve
2. good results
3. (especially in the first part).
4. After this (or in parallel with this), start classes using the “TriSP” method with the phrase “I speak without hesitation and do not stutter” or according to the “NLSC” method with the following self-coding:
5. I tell myself to speak clearly
6. I can speak without hesitation
7. I allow myself to speak without stuttering

I know how to speak without stuttering

I do everything I can to avoid stuttering

My speech becomes smooth and clear
I have good, continuous speech

Now let's move on to the exercises of this practice themselves, which take up about a third of it compared to what I wrote above.

The exercise is to pull your tongue forward through your open mouth as much as possible and keep it in a stretched state.

Those. You stick out your tongue (without using your hands - the tongue sticks out on its own) and stretch it further without stopping. Of course, it will not stretch further than is possible, but the point is to support the tone of the tongue in self-stretching. Hold your tongue like this for at least a minute for several approaches.

Pronouncing syllables Here best option

- it's just repeating the Sanskrit alphabet. Download the sound file from the link below, put on headphones, as the sound has binaural beats, and repeat the sounds (a simplified version of the Sanskrit alphabet) written below, along with the soundtrack.

First, repeat the alphabet to yourself, i.e. You hear the sound of the phonogram, but you pronounce the sounds only to yourself. Then you pronounce them out loud, synchronously with the voice of the phonogram.

It's okay if you stumble on some sound - just skip it and move on.

Singing
Turn on any music with singing that you like and sing. Sing without any embarrassment - openly and with pleasure. Sing from your heart, as if you are in a wild field or far in the mountains and no one can hear you. Don't be embarrassed by anything - it doesn't matter whether you have a voice or not, whether it sounds beautiful or not - just sing. You will see that when you sing like this, you don’t stutter at all.

Practice singing like this.

If your stuttering is very

a strong character

, and you still stutter even if you sing this way, then sing songs without words.

Those. You do not pronounce the words of the song themselves, but simply either replace them with sounds such as “La-la-la”, “La-la-la”, “Taram-pam, pam” or simply create characteristic (mooing) sounds in your throat under music. And after that, move on to regular singing.

Hissing sounds

Speak sharply, hissing and buzzing sounds in a drawn-out manner.
J | K | L | M | N | About | P | R | C | T | U
F | X | C | H | Ш | Ш | Y
E | Yu | I

Next, take any text and read this text using the same principle with closed mouth, as if “mooing” him. Don’t be embarrassed that from the outside it may look somehow stupid and “wild” - this is good exercise

and you need to practice it.

Pronunciation with confirmation IN in this case

You pronounce the word and at the same time touch the object you are naming. It is best to start with parts of your body - because you simultaneously feel with your hand that you have touched and feel with your part of the body that you have touched it. So, slowly say the word “u-h-o” and at the same time touch your ear, say the right one. Then say it again and touch your left ear. And so on several times. Then say the word "n-o-s" and touch your nose
right hand

, then left, etc. Touch as much as possible

large parts

bodies: “l-o-b”, “g-u-b-a”, “sh-e-ya”, etc.

Next, move on to objects using the same principle: say, for example, “s-t-o-l” and touch the table, say “s-t-u-l” and touch the chair, etc. ’ Pronunciation with emphasis

Download the file below in which I have added stress to each word, which is necessary in this practice.

This text is quite enough for you to practice; if you read it all to the end, then start reading it again from the beginning.
The practice is as follows: when you open this text, you will see the emphasis placed (for example: “THE TRUTH CAN BE EATED, BUT IT CANNOT BE LEARNED”), i.e. above the letter to be emphasized there is a sign “ "(the color of the sky), and say the mantra HAM-M-M (you can listen to the sound “M” until it fades completely). On the sound "M" you also increase concentration at the base of the throat. In this way, your Vishuddha will be strengthened and energetically corrected (harmonized).

Notes

1. I do not give specific time to complete any stages of this practice. You set this time yourself depending on your free time and feelings.
2. I can only say that at a minimum, spend three days on each stage. And after some time, repeat everything again in a cycle until stuttering completely disappears from your life (which can happen the first time).

We can say quite accurately that after 2-3 weeks of practice you will begin to speak completely without stuttering. (+) Description this method

healing can also serve as an example for you on how to create a personal healing program for yourself based on the practices that I give you. The problem of stuttering occurs in both children and adults. It causes a lot of inconvenience and can seriously undermine self-esteem. And it’s not just the speech defect itself, but a general lack of self-confidence. How is that vicious circle

: the more you stutter, the more embarrassed you become, which makes you stutter even more... But everything can be solved if you believe in yourself. We asked experts about how to get rid of stuttering once and for all. Yana Borisovna Polya, a speech therapist of the highest category, says: Most often, stuttering appears in childhood . The most dangerous period is from 3 to 5 years, during the rapid development of speech. But this disease can also affect an adult. Stuttering is a violation of the tempo, rhythm of fluency of speech as a result of convulsions of the articulatory apparatus. A person who stutters may fiddle with his clothes, make involuntary movements with his arms and legs, and may develop nervous tics

. Some people who stutter “mask” their defect by inserting meaningless words or sounds into their speech: “so”, “here”, “mmm”, “uh”... How to cure stuttering? Remember that this is not only a speech defect. It is associated with a violation. It often turns out that a person’s physical health is not ideal. In an adult, stuttering may remain from childhood or appear spontaneously. Often the problem “dies down” in conditions of calm and harmony, and reappears when a person is exposed to stress. In such cases, you should contact a number of specialists: a neurologist, a speech therapist, a clinical psychologist. A psychologist will help relieve tension and fear of speech. The speech therapist will teach or help you remember the skills of speech breathing, smooth and continuous speech. And the neurologist, for his part, will provide assistance to the nervous system.

It is useful for people who stutter to engage in some sports: swimming, yoga, karate. Singing, theater groups, dancing - all this also helps a person to relax, feel confident, develop breathing, plasticity, and cope with general bodily tension.

In the meantime, the doctor is treating you, use popular practices to combat stuttering.

Treatment for stuttering

How to cure stuttering? Instead of the attitude “oh horror, now it’s going to start again,” choose the attitude: “this is such a feature of mine.” Internally accept the fact that you stutter and try to live with it. If you are afraid of how others will react to your stuttering, you can tell or hint about the problem in advance. The calmer you are about the defect, the less often it will appear.

Learn to relax yourself

Everyone has their own “recipes” for relaxation. Some people are helped by a rosary that can be fiddled with in their hands, a piece of paper whose edges can be folded and unbent, or perhaps a certain crossing of the fingers, which gives a peaceful state. When you are ready, begin your speech. You will see: its quality directly depends on your internal state.

Play a home performance

Many stutterers, when talking with loved ones, completely forget about their problem. But she reminds herself in stressful moments. Rehearse in front of your sister, your man or your parents the speech that you are going to give at the meeting tomorrow. Remember the feeling of relaxation and self-confidence, and save them until the “X” moment.

Learn to breathe correctly

Breathing exercises from yoga or qigong can help regulate breathing when stuttering. Learn to control the force of inhalation and exhalation, the rhythms of intake and removal of air from the lungs. Repeat the exercises every day without skipping them: soon you will feel that your stuttering has decreased.

Think about anything - just not about your own speech

People often stutter from the very fact of their uneven speech. This makes them lose the thread of the conversation and miss the point of the conversation. Try to shift your attention from your own voice to the idea you want to convey or to your interlocutor. Concentrate on processing speech information, put emphasis not on form, but on content.

Take breaks

How to get rid of stuttering? When you feel a stutter coming on, give yourself time to regulate your breathing. Pause the conversation and take a deep breath. Repeat inhaling and exhaling, listening to your breathing. This way you can control your speech, and light pauses will give you an interesting mystery in the eyes of your interlocutor.

Get inspired

While you're practicing your speech, be patient and enthusiastic. And good literature and cinema will help you with this. For example, the Oscar-winning “The King's Speech”: feel yourself in the place of the main character and go with him all the way from complexes to complete victory.

Daria Mazurkina quickly looked for ways to get rid of stuttering

Method of treating stuttering according to Snezhko R.A.

Snezhko's method is based on the author's belief that stuttering is not a disease, but a lack of speech skills. The author believes that speech is a skill that is formed and developed from birth, and if so, then there is nothing to treat here. For some reason, he decided to compare such a complex neuropsychic formation as speech with riding a bicycle. He believes that one can teach one to speak correctly and thus eliminate stuttering, just as one can teach someone who does not know how to ride a bicycle. But it does not mention that stuttering often occurs in people who have already spoken well.

Snezhko claims that he is the only one who can really help a patient with stuttering, and that doctors and speech therapists are in vain taking on this matter and his great discovery makes it possible to cure stuttering in three days.

It is also argued that a person who stutters deliberately causes spasms in his throat and speech muscles and thereby forms his stutter. He challenges the idea of ​​unconsciously occurring stuttering as a disease and believes that all types of treatment, including suggestion and hypnosis, cannot help eliminate stuttering and only his method is capable of this.

The author considers stupor to be the only and main manifestation of stuttering, as if there were no others. clinical manifestations stuttering, which I will mention later.

Snezhko denies those achievements of medical genetics that prove a person’s genetic predisposition to speech, which is not the case in animals.

Psychotherapeutic analysis of the method of treating stuttering Snezhko R.A.

The presentation of the essence of Snezhko’s method is permeated with obvious self-praise of his great discoveries in the field of theory and practice of treating (correcting) stuttering. Presenting himself as a pioneer in the field of stuttering correction, he calls himself “the only Speech Teacher,” well, let a person think so if the truth does not suffer from it.

But theoretical approach to the problem of stuttering is weak on many points outlined by the author. So let's look at them.

Statement one- the author states that speech is just a “skill” that is not inherited, but is trained from birth to death, and if there are speech disorders, then it can be easily corrected by developing “correct speech skills” through training, and all this is done fast and easy. To confirm all that has been said, he gives an example - when a person finds himself in Africa and does not know the language of the country where he finds himself, he becomes “mute” because does not know the speech of these people and cannot communicate with them.

I can confidently say that the author is absolutely wrong, because... In the human fetus, areas responsible for speech begin to form in utero and they are functionally connected with the hearing areas; at birth, these areas of the brain continue their development, which is greatly facilitated by those around them, and the more often they communicate with the child, the faster his speech can form. Thus, we can say that the entire speech apparatus is genetically transmitted to a person, starting from the nervous system with the areas of speech, hearing and thinking, speech muscles, and throat ligaments, but further development of speech is possible only in the human speech environment. The author gives an example with Mowgli - when a child finds himself in wildlife, then his speech is not formed, as an example of the importance of speech training. But another example can be given - if there are animals in the house (with the exception of parrots), a cat or a dog, then no matter how much you communicate with them using speech, they still will not speak to you in human language, because they do not have a genetically determined speech apparatus.

As for “numbness” in Africa, this doesn’t happen because... Any person, finding himself in a different language environment, first tries to speak his own language and if he does not find someone who knows, then he continues to communicate with his speech and gestures, trying to explain what he needs. So, in principle, a talking person cannot “go numb”, even if he wanted to.

An attempt to reduce a complex neurotic speech disorder to the level of one simple symptom speaks of a primitive and narrow approach to a very complex problem stuttering.

Treatment of stuttering cannot be primitive training.

Statement three- Snezhko says that it is easy to get rid of possible neurotic symptoms by understanding the cause of this disorder and the stuttering itself.

The author sees the basis of the cause of nervous disorder and stuttering in the fact that a patient with stuttering is supposedly trying to pronounce two sounds at the same time, but this is impossible and a “stupor” is formed; this “stupor” also develops because of this attempt, since its consequence is confusion and uncertainty. Neurotic disorder, accompanying speech can be cured by breaking the connection between the stupor and the event that caused it. But here the author comes into conflict with his own statement that stuttering is not nervous breakdown caused by stress factors.

According to him, stuttering is simply an inability to use one’s speech apparatus and no psychology. As for understanding the cause of stuttering - most patients remember it, more often it is fright from a dog or other pet, painful medical procedures (dental treatment, injections), sharp sudden sounds, etc. But just because they remember and understand the reason that led to stuttering, their speech itself does not improve.

Statement four- speech can be cured using a computer program.

Unfortunately, these are all the same speech training, but with a soulless computer. If training with a speech therapist can still give a small therapeutic effect due to his personal suggestion and empathy for the patient, if there is any, then the soulless program does not have this. About a dozen patients came to me using various speech training programs and the result was the same - no. Most of their patients said that while I’m sitting at the computer, everything works out, but when I go to communicate with people, nothing comes of it!

Perhaps Snezhko helps someone if he conducts personal training, perhaps after three days they begin to speak well, but in the future, I suppose, relapses are possible, because “stupor” is a very strong habit of speaking incorrectly (the author’s position) and like any habit, especially a pathological one, it requires much more time to correct than it might seem to the author of the technique.
