Positive results at 24 months with the MIST person-centered approach to stuttering therapy
What is it about?
This paper discusses how a person-centered approach emphasizing mindful contact with embodied feeling states produced positive results for a group of adults enrolled in Multidimensional Individualized Stuttering Therapy (MIST) that were stable at 24 months' post therapy. We discuss how the use of mindful tuning-in to the self as embodied subject in a manner suited to each person who stutters appeared to play a decisive role in the robust and lasting effects of this collaborative therapy.
Why is it important?
We describe the concept and practice of ‘embodied adjustment’ that emerged as a key contribution of the MIST approach in obtaining these results.
