We had a huge turnout with 13 of us and 4 newbies!
We talked about how some of the group found speaking on the phone easy (since it feels like speaking to yourself), while others said it was the absolute worst for them (even when calling family).
One member reminded the group about Katherine Preston’s book (Out with It), which might be a great topic for future sessions!
Another member set a goal for himself to do a record 4 cancellations (stuttering and going back to say the word again each time) while ordering a donut– and he reported after group that he did it!! Cancellations are particularly hard because it’s so rewarding to make it through the word, so it’s difficult to stop, go back, and try again. Way to go!
Another member found this excellent TED talk about body language and how it can shape how people perceive you and how you feel yourself.
Interested to know how the group feels this may help their stuttering in some situations?? Maybe the Superman pose will give folks inspiration!
See you at our next group on July 7th!
