Beyond Stammering: The McGuire Programme for Getting Good at the Sport of Speaking

by Dave McGuire

Combining mental strategies with breathing techniques, this book explains the McGuire Program, a proven technique for long-term improvement in speech and self-confidence for those who suffer from stammering. Developed through the author's own struggles, readers learn to alter breathing patterns while incorporating mental strategies to maintain fluent speech. This complete program quickly and dramatically improves verbal fluency while the sufferer gains self-esteem, from learning to control the physical and mental aspects of dysfunctional breathing. Now revised and updated, the McGuire Programme is an internationally recognised method that not only improves speech, but offers the enjoyment, not the dread, of speaking. a series of breathing and diaphragm exercises that breaks the self-perpetuating cycle of stuttering. Uniquely, the McGuire Programme combines physical techniques (breathing and relaxation) with mental strategies for dealing with the fear of stammering, as well as how to develop an assertive attitude to the problem.
