after various books about it and over 1 year in med school, I don't know how to do a valsalva movement. Can you explain it in plain english how you would do such a thing while / and during what stage of speaking?

Wasn't William Perry an NFL football player, maybe a wrong question to ask.

Someone earlier was talking about the Valsalva method and it got me thinking that, it gets very tiresome when you have some alleged expert(doctor/professor), who knows so much about the way that we stammerers talk.
That he/she has to write a 100/200 page book and expect us to read it through and understand our problem.
When in fact all we need is a few "paragraphs" on what goes on in therapy and what we should be doing and trying out ourselves.
Do you not think that books like that are simply being repepitive, and treating us like simple morons.
Sally what have you done to improve yourself ? please tell us ! I know you are having a hard time just from your post but being anti book is not going to make you feel better

The problem is that the books really give too much needless information. For eg. paragraphs on famous ex stutterers. I mean no offence, but gossip like that is simply not going to help us all.
We need to know important things like why a certain therapy is not working etc. And what we should be doing about it.
And this should only cover a few pages.

No sale pitch for you, eh! no beating around the bush, straight to the point. I understand you.
