All the best Mark Hi Well when I have used this approach I tend to use hypnosis to motivate people to practice it, but certainly it can be done on one’s own and without hypnosis.

Does one have to be hypnotized or is this something you can do on your own. I write a blog about my adventures in stuttering. in all my years I have never heard the left -brain right brain function.

The right side becomes more activated when we experience negative emotions like anxiety (which of course can be brought on by self consciousness). By emphasizing left brain activation the idea is to re-condition the correct part of the brain to do the talking if that makes sense. We know the brain is 'plastic' which means that sometimes when one part is damaged another part can take over the functioning that the damaged part previously did. Because of this plasticity, i.e. that parts not originally meant to oversee a function can be 'brought into play' (like someone in an office who doesn't normally answer the phone but does so when the secretary is off sick), then it may be that the part of the brain not really best suited to an activity-such as speaking-starts to oversee that activity-whereas the part of the brain best suited to that speaking gets temporarily side lined.

How exactly do you teach a person to talk on the left side of the brain? I have stuttered all my life from when I learned to speak and at the moment it ic currently getting worse. I also dont stutter when I sing and also when there is no one around (I can say anything for any amount of time no matter what state I am in). Dan Hi Mark
