For John, no amount of therapy, exercises or hypnosis has done the trick.

  • hypnosis: 최면

It's perpetually frustrating to know exactly what you want to say and not be able to say it.

  • perpetual
    • (오래 동안) 끊임없이 계속되는 (=continuous)
    • 빈번한, 빈번히 계속되는 (=continual)
    • 종신의
  • frustrating: 불만스러운, 좌절감을 주는

Now, every person stutters differently, and John rarely prolongs his words.

  • prolong: 연장시키다, 연장하다

It’s a neurological condition with a complex genetic component.

  • neurological: 신경의, 신경학의
  • genetic: 유전의, 유전학의

 

So showing your own impatience, guessing the end of a sentence or interrupting and telling John to relax, can actually cause a stutter to intensify.

  • interrupt
    • (말·행동을) 방해하다[중단시키다/가로막다]
    • (무엇을 잠깐) 중단시키다
    • (계속 이어지는 선·표면·전망 등을) 차단하다[끊다]
  • impatience
    • 성급함; 조급, 안달, 초조, 조바심 ((of)); (고통·압박 등을) 참을 수 없음
    • 갈망, (…하고 싶어) 못 견딤
  • intensify: (정도·강도가) 심해지다[격렬해지다]; 심화시키다, 강화하다 (=heighten)

Right after a really long, painful block is momentary relief and lots of exhaustion. And you typically have a large exhale

  • relief
    • 안도, 안심
    • 구호품, 구호
  • momentary: 순간적인, 잠깐의
  • exhaustion
    • 탈진, 기진맥진
    • 고갈, 소진
  • exhale: (숨·연기 등을) 내쉬다[내뿜다] (↔inhale)
