Hi, Patti,
Thank you for sharing what has been helpful to you. I have no personal experience with REBT, but I have known some people who found it very helpful to them. Transactinal Analysis is theory and a therapy that emphasizes using spoken language to enhance personal growth (a little bit similar to General Semantics), both in interpersonal exchanges and in self-talk. It gave me the structure I had been looking for to make sense out of how to talk with others effectively and helped me appreciate the importance of healthy self-talk.
Yes, you are so correct. Regular practice of meditation and prayer can provide a core element in human life, a means of aligning oneself to become strong, joyful, fulfilled people. These paths initially can be undertaken to deal with stuttering or to enhance the quality of life. I focused on building a positive life and experienced ease in talking as one tangible result.
Again, thank you for this insightful comment.
