I would say a mix would be helpful. I was an adult in speech therapy but I enjoyed doing half of the hour session about the method (such as pull out) and the other half as the mental health side of it...

Don't get me wrong, I have the upmost respect of what you do, but if stuttering is not your specialism please be carefull. Lots of people with good intentions crossed my path in my schooldays, but on...

Yes, I'm trying not to focus as much on fluency. Its tricky with middle school boys, but I will definitely try to incorporate some of the topics you mentioned :)...

Teaching the mental health of Stuttering is very important. Growing up in the late 1970s, 80s and 90s, speech therapy focused on fluency so I always believed that I was broken. I wish my speech the...

Bro it's exactly the same for me, also never stuttered at my speech therapist, also almost don't block in groups/with friends in general Do you also block more with some people than others?, When talk...

In my situation, speech therapy when I was six or seven was pointless, I simply didn't understand the gravity of the situation. At 13, I think one is more mature and can by then fully or at least get ...

Talk to your parents. Ask them to get you into professional speech therapy. You might also consider talking to a psychologist as well. Sometimes there is a stigma about psychologists. We all feel de...

Actually I have had a therapist since before I started stuttering. I’m very thankful for him because he helps me with a lot of general anxieties and with social situations that are a bit confusing for...

I think so, yes. After years of speech therapy there was only so far that could take me, and I went to a few sessions with a psychologist who specialised in stuttering and speech related anxiety. I go...

41 here. Hang in there. It is SO tough and anxiety-filled at your age. It will improve and you won't think about it as much. I know that doesn't magically make things better but speech therapy and for...

Stuttering is hard. My stutter had such a negative effect on my personality and who I grew up to be. Can you get into see a therapist? Someone to talk to, and a chance to express your feelings. That...

Not that helpful but good enough. If you have access to speech therapy then I wouldn't recommend it at all. If you don't then you can give it a try. There are some quite helpful exercises and tricks t...

tldr; a stutter's brain is wired very differently because of our weak motor-speech centre, as a result we have timing problems in producing speech because while we're speaking the brain cant accuratel...

Right?! I’m almost thinking about going to see one again. Haven’t seen one in over 15 years and knowing that it’s really not a huge deal right now but definitely something that I want completely under...

Did a few years on speech therapy and stuttering on c and k sounds where horrendous because my cs sounded like ts...

I personally landed in a position that requires very little speaking to actually do my job. But in my local stuttering group there’s lawyers, teachers, PhD candidates who are frankly all less fluent t...

I went to speech theraphy for two years and took therapy from two different speech/language therapists. But on the contrary I noticed that when I gave my attention to my speech and try to implement sp...

Out of curiosity, how many sessions of speech therapy did you go to? It took me years of going 2 or 3 times a week (when I was very young) to lose my stutter. Edit: Not here to offer advice, seriousl...
