Zachary Emrich-Muise is a 19 year old Communication Sciences & Disorders major at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. Zach, a person who stutters, made a life changing decision to honor the rock in his shoe and go to college to become an SLP. This young man is part of a new generation of future SLPs who are focusing on mindfulness for people who stutter. In dissecting the moments directly before, during and after a stutter, Zach describes the feelings of heat and pressure he experienced and then how mindfulness, disclosure and baby steps in avoidance reduction have desensitized his brain and are now creating feelings of peace and Joy. This is a podcast of hope for those who stutter and education for all of those who don’t.
