Learn How to Overcome Stuttering Using These 4 Little Know 4 Brain Areas
"Have you ever wondered what simple steps you can take to help your brain produce smooth speech in every moment, whether you’re practicing alone or speaking in public? In this session, we’ll explore key questions that will guide you to better control your speech. What happens when you intentionally slow down your speech and insert pauses? Discover how this technique gives your broca’s area the time it needs to coordinate smooth speech and how it helps your Basal Ganglia (BG) automate these controlled patterns for future speaking situations. How can deep breathing and relaxation create the ideal environment for smooth speech? Learn how calming the amygdala through deep breathing reduces anxiety, allowing broca’s area to function optimally and produce fluent speech. Why is positive visualization so powerful for improving your speech? Find out how visualizing yourself speaking confidently prepares broca’s area for smooth delivery and reinforces positive speech patterns in your BG. What role does self-monitoring play in maintaining smooth speech? Understand how being aware of your speech and gently correcting any disruptions helps keep broca’s area on track, while also teaching the BG to support fluent speech in real-time. How can gradually increasing the difficulty of your speaking tasks improve your fluency? We’ll discuss how this approach builds confidence and resilience, enabling broca’s area to perform consistently under pressure, with the BG backing up these smooth speech patterns. By the end of this session, you’ll have answers to these questions and practical steps you can use to reinforce smooth, confident speech patterns, making every speaking moment more fluent and effortless."
