Listen "Break Stuttering Barriers by Using the Cartesian Questions!"

Episode Synopsis

If you stutter, these questions will help you get the leverage needed to summon up courage and purpose! If you help teens or adults who stutter, these questions will help them immensly. Mathematician Rene Descartes created this type of questioning in the early 1600's. Identify a fear you have about stuttering and run it through these questions. Also, think of something that you DID DO in the past that required courage and purpose (i.e. trained for an athletic event, earned a degree, learned a musical instrument). When we neglect to remember our victories we are "discounting the positive." Map over successes as resources to score more wins!
