I'm a stroke survivor and the feeling of not being able to get my words out as I did before my stroke is frustrating beyond words. I explain it as having a bunch of words all trying to come out at once and having to pick through the jumble to find the appropriate one to use. Sounds a whole lot easier than it is. Thank you for this. I'm going to use this.
Charles, this is a very good explanation. I hear this A LOT from people I get to work with. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be. I see this trick work every single day. So much so, that we are adding a special mediation session each week for everyone in classes. I know it can help you, too!
I'm a stroke survivor (1 year 8 months) has impacted my ability to communicate verbally with others. Thanks, I'm gonna try this out at home, maybe it will help with my aphasia.
I have ALS/Lou Gehrig's. I'M 55 years old. These exercises you have here, helps me tremendously. I know my fate. But thank you for helping others as well. Thank you so much!!!
I am very glad you found me too! I read your tip about using the wooden spatula to move your tongue around to strengthen it. I am impressed! I am trying to picture it- I may have to try it to I can understand better, so I can share it with people I work with who could benefit. Thank you SO MUCH 🙏 👍 !
I think i have aphasia because very often i can't get my words out but I've never had a stroke or any brain trauma so i don't know if its aphasia or something else
I'm a torture (years) (lead torturer said he was going to break me and make me schizophrenic), hundreds of TBI's, trauma, been 23 months since then and I think I'm getting to the point that I can work on speaking. I need too, since I have yet to get any real help with all these issues. I tried talking to a doctor, but my memory and the trauma makes it hard to calm down. Since my first blows to the head I have had this issue of not being able to access memories and bring them to voice. I just get stuck then convulse/shake hard and start to pass out. There are time I'm able to do it, but it results in a migraine or severe headache for over a day from answering a single question. My brain just collapsed during recovery and I had to relearn everything, alone, like I was a newborn. I'm noticing now that I can have a somewhat engaging short conversation with a person, but still suffer from aphasia. By engaging I mean acting like I'm keeping up and being able to add a small, more simplified version of my response about the subject while forgetting words and dealing with PTSD triggers. I hope soon I can tell a doctor my symptoms and call the cops. That has been my two goals since sept 2022. But it's hard since I was told they will stab me if I try to help myself. So I have that also affecting my anxiety and stress (they are still near me keeping an eye and monitoring me). Also the trauma symptoms and brain injuries are making it hard since I can barely feed myself, let alone do basic care.
I am so sorry you are stuggling + the very best advice I could give you speech-wise and in general is to take a breath - close your eyes and find calm for 5 seconds when things get crazy. I am glad you found my channel 🙏.
@@beyondhighc thank you. everything is new again for skills and I'm getting better to the point now I'm not stuck in dilirium. for 9 months straight I had about 4seconds of memory and that still is messing me up. When I tried three attempts to get help from a doctor when I first tried to get help I had semantic paraphasia and could barely keep three of those words in my head long enough to write them down but when I did I would get lost and forget where I was writing it. I think I tried three times and kept on losing them after I put them on paper or on my phone. I was able to get the words out on concussion but after that I was unable to keep up with anything and when I was being asked questions I couldn't say the word yes. the only response I knew how to say was no. "I'm going to refer you to a nose and ear doctor." me: "no". For 11 months now, I have been working on typing and regaining words I lost and getting to a grade fours level of communication skills (the time I had my first concussion). I could usually say Hi and basic responses due to it not being descriptive ect. But after that still is my issue. I need practice but the other injuries make it hard to even get a time of day to go do it. Not being able to plan, low impulse and having lost all my emotions like my other skills makes for a strange multilayered road block among many other symptoms clogging brain. Thanks for the response. I'm trying to learn how to come up with a speech that doesn't use memory but gives enough information that I can get help. Best I can do since answering questions just puts me in a spiral. I have to preplan future interactions. Anything spontaneous or I have no experience in, like medical and the law, is very very hard. The breathing method makes sense and I'm gonna try to get some practice in it and hopefully I can use it soon. Having a computer helps a lot. Just need to work on my new less than two old neural path ways while trying to navigate the world that isn't at a 2 year olds level of skill.
I had stroke. I always start talking slow and And halting even on enjoyable calls, but if the car goes on long enough I sort of warm up like an old car lol and speak faster.. I am going to try this exercise and hope that it helps me start out as well as I can speak 20 minutes into something!
Okay, yes, I think this can help. Especially if you start feeling worried or upset in anyway about how you are talking. Believe it or not, pausing to take a quick breath and reset will help you go faster. As you practice you will get faster. Let me know how it goes for you!
@@beyondhighc Thank you for giving me some techniques to use for my brother, whose has a brain injury with residual expressive aphasia. I am going to share your videos with the memory care unit that he is staying at this time. You are such a powerful giving spirit, as a former Nurse believe me you are just beautiful doing what you are doing. You have a great program, and thank you so much, because I also have a non verbal autistic grandson. Who I know he can talk, because he's done it in front of me, and what you are doing here may connect to those type of diagnosis as well.
@@SmokeyKeitaTEACH Wow thank you so so much for that. It means a lot that you would say those things. I appreciate you sharing and I see what you mean- the possiblity of this being useful for the situations you described. Thank you very much 🙏 .
It is a good question Robert- I don't know why it happens, but I can tell you it happens to most people. It is like a kink in a hose. The good news is, you can help yourself get through these faster. When you notice it happening, train yourself to get calm and quiet as fast as you can. That will take the kink out of the hose and let the ideas and words flow again. So glad you asked- let me know how you do with getting calm!

Sometimes speach with out thinking about at times is fluent in duration then that labour comes backs why is that not complaining

When you notice it happening, train yourself to get calm and quiet as fast as you can. That will take the kink out of the hose and let the ideas and words flow again. So glad you asked- let me know how you do with getting calm!
I can’t find videos that plainly teach everyday words to stroke victims.
oh! I am grateful you wrote this- I could make some. What words would be good to start with ?
❤ kiersten !!!!!!!!!
We must know eachother? 😎
I noticed difference
Lisa! That is SO GOOD! I am excited to see you today!
Good videos but talks too much
I appreciate you telling me this-- I will be mindful of that.
💜💙🩵
Your hearts make my day :)
Like the videos but please don't spend so much time talking about the video. Just get to it. Okay? Thanks.
Thanks for your feedback Ed. Working on that yes!
