TRANSMUTE TIPS β½
first, you need to figure why youre mute. common reasons are:
- physical damage (apraxia, paralysis, illness, brain damage)
- anxiety/trauma
i cant give you tips on damaging your own throat or brain so ill give you tips an anxiety/trauma induced mutism!
- have a select group of people you talk to and slowly include fewer and fewer people until its only your closest relationships!
- when going somewhere, ask your close relationships who all will be there. be uncomfortable if its too many people/youll have to talk a lot
- keep a little notebook or have your phone ready to communicate through writing
- learn asl, even just the alphabet and basic words!
- invest in an aac (augmentative and alternative communication) device or app!
- strain your voice/hurt your throat as an excuse to not talk. just scream for a bit
- consume media about mutism!!
- opt for non verbal responses such as nodding/shaking your head, shrugging your shoulders, and facial expressions
- opt for texting instead of phone calls
- if you NEED to talk, speak quietly
- stop talking/singing to yourself!!
keep in mind: its okay to have a lot of words in your head!! most mute people do!!
