Emma Iyer, a 28-year-old marketing executive,...
Emma Iyer, a 28-year-old marketing executive, had a mild stammer since childhood that worsened dramatically after a high-pressure product launch. Her speech became blocked on plosive sounds ('p', 'b'), causing prolonged silences in client meetings. Her ENT, Dr. Sharma, recommended a course of Comprehensive Stuttering Therapy, combining speech motor training with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Emma attended weekly sessions for three months, practicing smooth speech initiation and desensitization to feared words. Post-treatment, she gained fluent, controlled speech with strategic 'easy onsets.' Emotionally, she moved from constant anxiety about speaking to confident self-acceptance, viewing her occasional disfluencies not as failures but as manageable moments.
