Can you unlearn stuttering?

Stottertherapie en ademtraining met de Del Ferro methode
Scientific research has shown that stuttering is caused by a dysfunction of the diaphragm. This diaphragm, crucial for the breathing process, normally moves smoothly up and down when breathing in and out. When we speak, the diaphragm makes a similar movement, but the vocal cords close. In stuttering, however, this smooth upward movement is interrupted, the diaphragm 'stutters', leading to the hiccups in speech.

Since the diaphragm is a muscle attached to the skeleton, it can be trained. This means that someone with a stuttering problem can unlearn the irregular movement of the diaphragm.

With the implementation of the Del Ferro method, stuttering stops from the first day of the course. The diaphragm will make exclusively smooth movements, get used to this new way of moving and unlearn the earlier stuttering movements.

Besides the physical cause, stuttering often has mental consequences. Many people with a stuttering problem develop fears of specific speaking situations, such as giving speeches, making presentations, and talking on the phone.

These mental insecurities can also be overcome with the Del Ferro method. Door de methode toe te passen in uitdagende situaties wordt ook daar vloeiend gesproken. This success leads to increased self-confidence and reduced speaking anxiety.By applying the method in challenging situations, fluency is achieved there too. Continuous fluency in speaking with the Del Ferro method ultimately eliminates all uncertainties and fears associated with speaking. Over time, there is no need to use a specific speaking technique in these situations.

Thus, unlearning stuttering, both its physical and mental aspects, is achievable by applying the Del Ferro method.
