Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy of Stuttering (REBTS) delivers permanent recovery from stuttering by addressing stuttering from a wholistic point of view. Not only does it target the mechanical speech aspects of stuttering by constantly reducing the severity and frequency of speech disfluencies, but it also works on the conscious and subconscious cognitions about self and stuttering that propagate struggled, forced speech, concomitant extraneous motions called secondary stuttering, and the negative emotions associated with stuttering. The REBTS process results in thinking clearly, speaking freely, and living fully.
By following the suggestions in this book, we can practically guarantee operational fluency because REBTS:
Enhances motivation by encouraging the use of a written journal and weekly smart phone generated video clips to show progress.
Can eliminate or at least greatly reduce anxiety and other negative emotions that exacerbate stuttering.
Teaches you how to unconditionally accept yourself and your stuttering as you begin to stutter less and less frequently and severely.
This book teaches you to substitute easy bounces for forced, struggled stutters. The easy bounces, which are simple repetitions of the first syllable of a word, become less and less frequent and severe until they practically disappear. The occasional times when you encounter them do not interfere with your communication and do not call extra attention from the listener.
