| Key points | Argues that adults who stutter often use escape and avoidance strategies that make stuttering harder to resolve, and proposes that mindfulness-based techniques can help them accept stuttering instead. The authors outline a three-stage program drawn from K-MBSR, MBCT, DBT, and ACT, contending that stuttering worsens when rejected and that therapists can use these programs in counseling. |
Abstract
Purpose: Most stuttering adults use strategies to escape and avoid stuttering to solve stuttering.Those strategies make it more difficult to solve stuttering rather than cure it.The present study aimed to examine how to apply mindfulness as a technique to accept stuttering.Methods: As materials Korean version of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (K-MBSR), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) for measuring the mindfulness and for applying principles to the treatment of stuttering were used in the study.Results: K-MBSR's mindfulness meditation, MBCT's automatic adjustment status, DBT's dialectical counseling skills, creative despair induction in ACT, and program metaphors were summarized as three stages.Each step corresponded to the motivation of treatment, the introduction of correct method, and meditation practice of mindfulness.The key to these three steps is to allow the stutterer to accept stuttering.Conclusion: Stuttering behavior therapy programs are used externally to remove stuttering.Internally, it accepts stuttering.If we look at stuttering based on the principle of mindfulness, the stuttering problem gets worse as they reject stuttering.The therapist can use the programs in stuttering counseling to solve this problem.
