If you can speak fluently in just one context,
you can learn to speak fluently in all contexts.

As an NLP and Neuro-Semantics^® Psychotherapist and Practitioner, I have over the past 119 years worked with over hundreds of clients consisting of approximately 3000+ hours of therapy. During these years, I have encountered many different types of personal issues that my clients desired my assistance in resolving.  In the Biography page I relate my experience more fully, but suffice it to say that the technology linked from this page allowed me to assist several PWS to greater and greater fluency. In a few cases complete fluency has resulted and these clients remain fluent after several years.  Below you will find links to several articles and techniques that further explain our model. I encourage you to take the material seriously as we have had a small number of PWS gain fluency through just reading this material and, importantly, experiencing through practice the patterns presented. In addition to articles by Bob Bodenhamer, D.Min., and L. Michael Hall, Ph.D., there are several articles written by others. Re-visit this page often as we constantly update this page with new material.
