At some points in their lives, children and adults experience speech difficulties such as getting stuck on their words. While it seems it is just normal to stutter, this could pose a problem in a person s day-to-day interaction with other people. If you stumble every time you speak, it would be very hard for you to get your message across. To further aid in the study of stuttering, theorists tried to categorize and make a sub-group of people who stutters. First is the severity as a grouping variable. Many studies used this sub-grouping with so far mixed results of analyses. Meanwhile, the intriguing sub-grouping of Van Riper described four tracks in the development of shuttering. Sixth is the effort of the clinician to understand and link the frustration of the stutterer and his life experiences to be able to map how his patient will succeed in therapy and life in general. Seventh is the span of time the therapy process will take. Is it short term or it has follow-up program to assist the stutterer in the process of change? The fundamental emphasis on this technique is to embed in patients belief system that everyone has freedom to think, feel, and behave. This stage is focused on embedding new beliefs, thoughts, feelings, attitude, and behaviour on an internal level. Such goal is often attained through the use of guided imagery, visualization, and actively living the life outside the therapy environment. However, the F.M. Alexander Technique is not or limited to a series of exercises; it is a reeducation of the mind and body. It was named after its developer F. Matthias Alexander, who initially developed it as a technique for vocal training for singers and actors in the late nineteenth century. While developing this system and with varied experiments, F. Such a feeling makes them worry and disturbed about their self-image, causing them to feel ashamed of themselves and to be extremely anxious every time they speak. Their tendency to stutter also makes them fear talking in front of others. The anxiety that a person feels boosts the intensity and frequency of stammering.
