Acknowledgments
L. Michael Hall, PhD
A very special thanks goes to Michael Hall for much of the material that I have used in this book. Many of the patterns have been adapted from his work in Meta-States® and Neuro-Semantics®.
Peter Young
This work would not be in published format were it not for the editing ability of Peter Young. I firstmet Peter when he assistedme with The User’s Manual for the Brain, Volume 1. From that work I learned about his ability to organize and present information. Peter has a tremendous ability to get to the essence of the subject matter, and to explain ideas clearly. I am extremely indebted to him and his expertise.
Linda C. Bodenhamer
This book, as with all my joint works with Michael Hall and John Burton, would have been impossible had it not been for the loving support from my wife, Linda Bodenhamer. She has labored many years to provide us with our financial needs freeing me to devote time to develop such works as this one. For the 39 years of constant love, support and encouragement, I owe her a special debt of gratitude.
Linda Rounds
Without question, this project would never have been initiated were it not for the encouragement of Linda Rounds, one ofmy first clients who had a blocking and stuttering problem. Her knowledge of the stuttering community and her willingness to share it with me and to encourage me in this pursuit launched me on the path of dedicating much effort to this work.
PWS
In addition to Linda Rounds, there are many other People Who Stuttered. Tim Mackesey, David Lock, John Harrison and others have encouraged me to continue my work and research in this field in order to bring healing and fluency to many who have no other hope.
To those who attend the Mastering Blocking & Stuttering Workshops I owe a special debt of gratitude; having many PWS in a learning environment provides the trainer with immense opportunities for valuable feedback. I must also thank the many people on the [email protected] email list from whom I have learned a great deal and whose comments and suggestions I have been able to incorporate into my practice.
To all these and the countless thousands who daily fight a battle of trying to communicate, that few people other than those who share disfluency can understand, I dedicate this work.
