Charlie Osborne, MA CCC-SLP joins Peter Reitzes and Eric Jackson to discuss the term fluency and a classic book from 1972 by Wendell Johnson and Dorothy Moeller titled Living with Change: The Semantics of Coping. We discuss topics and quotes from Johnson & Moeller including acceptance, success, the importance of language in thinking and working on stuttering, IFD Disease (from Idealism to Frustration to Demoralization), making therapy and the use of speech tools less complicated and so much more.
