Changing My Story: From the NSA’s 2016 Research Symposium (Ep. 584)
Anthony DiLollo, PhD
Anthony DiLollo joins Reuben Schuff today at the National Stuttering Association’s 2016 Research Symposium to discuss his presentation Talking Back to Stuttering: A Constructivist Approach to Counseling with Persons Who Stutter. Dr. DiLollo discusses how people who stutter have the ability to tell and live a different story. Dr. DiLollo states, “We underestimate how much control we have over the way we think and feel simply by the stories we tell.”
Today’s StutterTalk episode was recorded at the Joint Conference of the National Stuttering Association (NSA) and the International Stuttering Association (ISA) in Atlanta, Georgia, July 6-10, 2016. This is the NSA’s 33rd annual conference.
