Stuttering and Lazy Tongue Improved with Stress Management Hypnosis Techniques Symptoms of stuttering and lazy tongue or twisted tongue can greatly be improved with basic stress management technique and hypnosis. Lazy tongue is a condition for which I coined the term. The phrase "lazy tongue" basically speaks for itself. When the affected person attempts to speak, it seems that the tongue is lazy, twisted and simply doesn't move fast enough to enunciate what is spoken. The result is slurred speech and or stuttering. It often feels as though the twisted tongue is enlarged and because of this feeling it is often easy to bite the tongue or the side of the mouth--rather painful. Typically stuttering is not necessarily associated with a lazy tongue, but more often simply stuttering is associated with excessive tension in the mouth. Whereas one can begin suffering from lazy tongue at any age, stuttering is often left over from child hood. The issues surrounding both lazy tongue and stuttering are similar. Stuttering is often associated with a less than healthy self image resulting from a conditioning experience of an embarrassing nature as a youngster, or having an overbearing and critical parent. Lazy tongue, on the other hand, is usually the result of a major stressor such as loss of a marriage, death of a loved one, loss of a job... With both stuttering and lazy tongue, there is a situation of low self esteem. However, a boost in self esteem (although helpful) usually will not solve either problem without stress management intervention. For example, Carl was 19 years of age and away at college. Stuttering since elementary school he successfully stopped all stuttering within three weeks of stress management training. He returned home over semester break and promised his father to clean the garage one Saturday. Carl became distracted and never got around to fulfilling his promise. His dad came home from work later on Saturday, noticed the garage wasn't cleaned, and called Carl a "stupid shit," for not cleaning the garage. Carl's stuttering returned instantly. Who is the "stupid shit?" That's right, his overbearing controlling critical father is. Ironically the one who wants Carl to stop stuttering. This is a case of having an overbearing, over critical parent who in combination with the son's sensitive nature, contributed to his son's stuttering which often makes overcoming stuttering a two part program for the one suffering from stuttering. Of course we're not going to change Carl's father, however, we can use hypnosis and self esteem building techniques to move Carl beyond being affected by his dad. The two part program is: 1. Using basic stress management skills involving deep rhythmic breathing, and muscle tensing relaxation exercises for the various muscles of the jaw, mouth, and tongue. The deep breathing is for composure. The muscle exercises are to stretch the jaw in various directions, stretch the tongue and press it against various locations in the mouth. It also involves tensing the facial muscles. Each time the muscles are tensed, they are tensed to the point of extreme discomfort--almost to the point of fatigue. Then the tension is then released and self mental programming is done as to which feelings are preferred and which are disliked. 2. Self hypnotic affirmations are used to change the perspective so as to build confidence and create building self esteem. Focus is on dealing with the emotions of rejection, disappointment, and frustration. Through hypnosis the individual moves to embrace the emotion and then move beyond it to somehow benefit from the experience. An enlightened approach to stuttering and lazy tongue involves more than one approach. Whereas many programs only focus on the mechanical, you wonder why the obvious self esteem issues are left out or only dealt with in passing. It's clearly a mistake to ignore either the stress management or the self esteem issues. Doing the physical exercises and dealing with the mental issues of building self esteem produces real results.
--end of article-- Richard Kuhns B.S.Ch.E., NGH certified is a prominent figure in the field of stress management. His best selling cds for managing stress are at http://www.DStressDoc.com and http://www.PanicBusters.com His aim is to raise awareness as to how using basic stress management skills can be used to over come stuttering and lazy tongue syndrome. To find out more please visit http://www.dstressdoc.com/TwistedTongue.htm Twisted Tongue cd Reacting to this type of stress, the
tongue muscle actually becomes lazy and may actually enlarge
resulting in slurred speech and difficult--not to be confused with
stuttering which is also usually related to low self esteem, but more
so a long term condition from child hood. This technique may
also be highly effective with stuttering when used with the Building
Self Worth Program. This program uses specific proven
muscular tension relaxation exercises to improve circulation to the
tongue muscle and retrain the tongue to respond normally to the
brain's speech center. Of equal importance, powerful affirmations are
integrated to get beyond the short term self worth issues and build
confidence. It's normal for affirmations to be questioned by the
conscious mind which will negate their value. To insure the success of
affirmations, this program utilizes the power of negative thinking to
work for you--that's right "the power of negative thinking." By acknowledging self doubts and negativity, the power
of hypnosis takes you beyond your perceived limitations to return your
speech to the point where you will forget that you ever had a problem.
Twisted Tongue cd Improving
Self Esteem and Build Confidence
Program This
best selling program is the most effective program ever produced for
improving self esteem to build confidence! It
is leap years ahead of the science and today is "state of the art."
This one program on two cds accomplishes the same as other programs
requiring a half dozen cds and costing well over $200 to accomplish
the same results. In my experience of
conducting stress management programs and counseling for over 20
years, I found that roughly 99% of those I've worked with felt that
they had low self esteem. How could this be? Simply
The answer is that all the other
programs Most programs for improving self esteem or building self esteem either instruct you to use affirmations that simply may be rejected by your subconscious. Sure they may fire you up for a short period of time but in a few weeks the affirmations will be forgotten and you'll return to the same fundamental question about your self worth. Or, as a psychologist did for one client, (take the link for an example of setting one up for self esteem failure) the programs instruct you in improving self esteem by improving some specific skills, i.e., get a better job, a better education, some kind of specific training, attain some achievements, and so on. Sure, with improved skills, more friends, a better job, higher education, and specific acknowledgments for achievements you will feel a sense of self esteem--but, in my experience in working with hundreds of clients, it's cosmetic at best. That is, the moment the unexpected crisis occurs that threatens or worse yet wipes away your accomplishments, attained stature, physical abilities, employment, and so on, you may well be left with a lousy feeling about your self esteem. In other words, if you put all the other programs to the test, you'll see that they set you up for failure, and the effects on self worth is temporary at best. This is the one program that goes beyond you ever needing to be dependent on you having accomplishments, connections, an education, physical abilities, physical beauty, a certain weight, a high paying job, physical beauty, behaved kids, your ability to spell... In fact this program shows you how to build self worth and self esteem free of requiring accomplishments or having to believe any affirmation. Not that you won't create accomplishments, wealth, great looks, friends, a higher education, a great career or whatever--you just won't need them or be dependent on having them to feel good about yourself to overcome low self esteem. How is it done? First, in improving self esteem or building self esteem, it's important to observe (not criticize) the sources of your role models' self esteem. It's important to also observe (not criticize) where your self esteem has come from in the past, i.e. what makes you feel good about you and what you need to feel good about yourself. Thus you'll understand the psychology of self worth and the causes of low self esteem. The next step is to meet your own best friend. So if you've ever thought that you are often your own worst enemy, this portion of the program is particularly valuable because it introduces you to "you," and creates the path by which you easily become your own best friend. Now, how do you handle emotions? I mean feelings of anger, uncertainty, confusion, frustration...? Self criticism in the past may have eroded your self esteem. This program helps you to flip over negative emotional experiences and empowers you in building self esteem through your experience of any emotion that life can throw your way. Part #1 lays a foundation for suggestions for improving self esteem building self confidence. It gives you the easy a,b,c's for improving self esteem. It is educational in nature for your conscious mind. And even if you never listen to Part II which is a relaxation hypnotic program for reprogramming the subconscious to a strong healthy self image, the easy a,b,c instructions in Part #1 will get you there all by itself. Part II is for your subconscious mind and has suggestions for your subconscious mind for restoring self esteem. This side also has subliminal suggestions (suggestions that are below the audible range).The revised expanded program also includes:
Part III which lays a foundation for
being your own best friend, brings your emotional brain up to date,
and provides an incredible means of turning disappointments into
benefits to profit from disappointments. In other words, you will
learn how to make the best tasting lemonade from the lemons that
life sometimes throws at you and feel good about yourself—keep
your self esteem--in the process. This is the bible, so to speak for
dealing with and handling emotions. Emotions are the challenge of
the twenty first century. Why, simple. We’ve had twenty centuries
of denying and pretending emotions aren’t important. And yet,
we’re emotional beings—the primitive limbic brain is the
emotional brain. Emotions were there long before language and
centuries later, we’re really very little better off handling
emotions than we were centuries ago. We generally learn how to
ignore them, pretend they don’t bother us, or to act them out. In
fact it’s our poor ability to handle emotions that keeps
psychiatrists, psychologist, therapists and many doctors in
business. Yes, poor handling of anger and rejection can lead to
depression which in turn can lead suppression of immune
function—auto immune disease and even cancers. Or instead of poor
handling of depression leading to depression, it can lead to heart
disease.
Tony Robbins in his Get the Edge
program devotes an entire cd to understanding emotions. He suggests
that there are many reasons we have emotions and that it’s
important to process each emotion—the purpose and result.
Ultimately what he suggests isn’t very different than what
psychologists and therapists have been doing for the last two
hundred years. The problem with this approach is that it’s
attempting to quantify something literally happens at the speed of
light. It’s attempting to use the rationale brain to control the
emotional brain with analysis and there just isn’t sufficient time
to accomplish this goal. It’s simply an impractical means of
handling emotions. Part III is based on techniques
popularized in the Erhardt Training seminars of the 70’s and
80’s and The Angry Book by Isaac Rubin psychiatrist. Rather
than understanding emotions, it’s in the experience of them
through which we gain a handle on them and then can profit or in
some way benefit from them. It becomes more of a three step dance or
three frames of a cartoon as opposed to This is the bible, so to speak for dealing with and handling emotions. . Part IV, complete with subliminal suggestions, is for nurturing your subconscious mind as you sleep. This is what accelerates the process of building self worth, being your own best friend, and turning disappointments into benefits. Part I and Part II are the bible for building Self Worth Cd #1 $24.95 Part III and Part IV is the magic of keeping the self worth that you build everyday by becoming your own best friend and discovering means by which you can profit from disappointment. CD #2 $24.95The complete program, parts I, II, III, IV, on two cd's for Overcome Life Crisis ProgramMidlife Crisis Time?The best program you'll find! In fact I had to go through a personal crisis of my own to complete this program.Life crisis,
mid life crisis and crisis's in general are the major contributing
factors to alcoholism, drug addiction, and suppression of one's immune
system leading to life threatening illnesses.
