What do Jiu Jitsu and stuttering have in common? Learn from Evan Himel, a 15 yo, who just spent 3 days with me in Atlanta. Stuttering and blocking can pin you into submission if you let it.

<p>After several attempts at previous speech therapy for stuttering, Evan and his parents needed a better approach- a holistic one.&nbsp; Listen to a sample of his blocking&nbsp;on day one and then his speech on day three.&nbsp; Integrating CBT and best practices from traditional therapy, Evan is already on his way to strong verbal skills.&nbsp; You will quickly determine that he really integrated key concepts learned in therapy.&nbsp; &nbsp;Evan's insight and interpretations are beyond his 15 years of age.&nbsp; &nbsp;Back to Jiu Jitsu: grappling, submission, and choke holds are some of the common terms in Jiu Jitsu.&nbsp; &nbsp;Evan explains that you can use finesse to counter the energy of stuttering.&nbsp; He concludes that stuttering is not an enemy but rather a sparring partner that you can maneuver and escape from its tight grasp.</p>
