What is the most common cause of failure (to give up stuttering) by attendees at the programme?
The biggest problem is that students leave the 4-day programme 100% fluent and feel they are “cured”. Therefore they don’t use the technique we teach them, don’t practise the breathing, don’t go out and face their fears and challenges and then relapse. They then feel they have failed and McGuire hasn’t worked for them and go off looking for the next magic pill instead of getting back to it, following their coaches’ directions, etc.
