"I stuttered for approximately 20 years before coming to the Power Stuttering Center. Speaking was horribly difficult, unpredictable, and embarrassing, especially in stressful situations. During my time in Mark’s program, I have learned to slow down, gather my thoughts into short phrases, and produce speech that is free from stuttering. Unlike stuttering programs popular years ago, Mark’s program is easy to follow and stress-free. My speech still sounds comfortable, controlled, and natural.
I no longer fear situations which paralyze most people who stutter, including talking on the telephone. The most difficult situations such as job interviews are no longer terrifying. I have even joined a local Toastmasters club where I am learning to speak in front of a group! The very thought of this used to paralyze me with a fear greater than any non-stutterer can understand.
Mark’s guidance along with my consistent work has lifted a tremendous burden off my shoulders and has given me vocal freedoms I have never known. I face the future speaking situations with confidence, knowing that I have nothing to fear."
