Hey! I’m 23m, I have a sever stutter (according to my speech therapist), I’m also about to start grad school for speech pathology…I also have been seeing a speech therapist for myself for the last like 2 months. Has it helped? No…however…there is no magical cure. No magical strategy. No pill. Nothing will cure a stutter. So my therapist focuses more on my self esteem and confidence. And helping me reframe my mindset about my stutter. Bc I’m like you. I hate my stutter. I hate how I can’t present shit without sounding like a broken record. I can’t introduce myself with our blocking like crazy. I can’t talk on the phone without stuttering. ITS EVEN difficult for me to order food at a drive through. So I understand you. Find a speech therapist that focuses more on CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) and that may help with your view on your stutter. Feel free to pm me if you wanna chat more about Speech!
