How to Stop Stuttering Stuttering Treatment Stuttering Therapy Stuttering Help
 

Do you HATE YOUR STUTTERING? Sitting in the back of the room, avoiding conversations, missing out on the good jobs and not meeting new people because of this embarrassing problem?

This is my story.

Hi. My name is Mark Power and for 35 years I felt like a misfit and an alien. No matter where I went, I could not escape my stuttering problem and my hatred of talking. I hated the sound of my own voice.

At my school there was one other kid who stuttered and he didn't have a clue either. We didn't know why we did this.  We just knew we were ashamed of ourselves. The school would set us up with another therapist every year. We would lumber through their suggestions about taking deep breaths, making eye contact, talking about how I FEEL about stuttering...

It was a total waste of time. 

On my way to the first stuttering program that actually worked, I stopped at a lonely gas station in the middle of the night. When I walked into the office to ask for the key to the restroom, I stuttered so bad that the attendant panicked (he thought I was crazy) He reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a .45 automatic.

When he pointed the gun at my head and I stammered, "I'm a stu-stu-stu-stu-stutterer."

I didn't know it then but the tunnel of darkness was about to come to an end. Dr. George Shames and his wonderful staff at the University of Pittsburgh changed my life. After one week of intensive therapy I found myself striking up conversations with.... yes, even gas station attendants who I would have never talked to before, just because I could. (And none of them pulled a gun on me!)

I was liberated.

After 35 years of communication prison, I had a LOT to say. I was making up for lost time. 

You will too. When you discover what I discovered: That it's not your fault. That the therapists were trying their best but the knowledge they'd been given was inadequate.

"For The First Time In My Life, I Could Say Anything I Wanted To Say."

I want you to say what YOU want to say.  Anytime.  Anywhere.  With anybody.

I would like the opportunity to tell you the whole story. Exactly how it happened, from the rocky road of failed efforts and well-meaning therapists to the breakthrough that re-programmed my brain and enabled me to set hundreds of other stutterers free - being stutter-free for 26 years now and now able to help people like you too.

I'll tell you how we did it, what happened and how it can happen to you too.

Tell me your name and your email address and the story will begin to unfold right away.

To your success,

Client Testimonial

"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."
