Long term, try a different speech therapy. Speech therapy comes in all different forms. Try something different. Near term, seek out psychological / mental health assistance. You're suffering. If you...

Most speech "therapy" is shit. And yes it's still politically correct to make fun of stuttering and dismiss it. Ive felt the same way like id rather not talk and just be mute or just end my life. Im r...

HCRI is shit (for the vast vast majority). Sorry you wasted your money. I went to a similar program that worked there and failed when I went back to my life. There are other therapies that don't focus...

Stuttering is a neurological (physical) disorder where the brain's pathways become disrupted when hearing our own voice, Since stuttering is a physical disorder it can obviously be passed on just lik...

It's a weird thing man. My parents tell me that I started speech therapy because I pronounced my R's like a New Yorker, and I left speech therapy with a full blown stutter....

Yeah, 100% agree. Once you use the disability word, it triggers all kinds of protocols that they have to follow (at least in schools in the USA). So, they'll take it seriously. Good point about retr...

Your exact experience w therapy is extremely common. Highly suggest listening to a podcast by Tim Mackesey. Look up his website too...

Money is definitely a problem for me. Thats why i couldn't go to therapy at a young age and just recently started since i got a job. I have tried 3 therapists and none of them are really helpful. I ju...

I'm not in America or moving to. I just refer to sign as asl altogether. The languages in both countries are different and i stutter severely on both, so kinda unlucky on that part haha. I'm going t...

I have been going to therapy for the past few months. Tried 2 different therapists last year as well but it's not working out for me so far. Will continue though...

I had to find good therapy and get some handle on my speech before moving out alone. I will say most people around me are nicer and more patient than I thought. Can't say much other than to look for g...

Speech therapy with an SLP that specializes in stuttering. Even if you've tried therapy before, consider trying it again. Find a different program or therapist. Kind of like with smoking and the "d...

>Sometimes when I talk with my therapist May I assume this isn't a speech therapist? Professional speech therapy helps many of us find fluency. I always advocate for speech therapy. Many of us...

I've only met other people who stutter when I was in speech therapy at school. We're rare, that's forsure!...

Hi there! Well I can’t say I practiced every day so I may not be the best example. I did however go to a certified hypnotist to check if there’s any good in it. It was quite an interesting experience ...

Oh wow I was told about those same techniques and experience the same problems. When I’m casually in a conversation i usually forget what I was told and if I do remember mid conversation it just makes...

TBH, I think your experience as a PWS going to speech therapy is actually very common. It’s because most have almost no training in treating dysfluency. I truly think that it’s better to do nothing...

Does he ever express frustration with his stutter? You can try bringing up the topic with him to see how he feels about it. My personal experience was that, at that age I couldn’t enunciate certain so...

Sure. So, in the therapy they taught me some techniques, like if you are blocking don’t continue, stop, take a breath and then say it, also they advised to say start saying the words more lightly. The...

>Could you share the tips and practices? I wish it was that simple. The therapy I received was more of a program which starts with the basics and builds towards fluency. It's a little like someone...
