Tim Mackesey, SLP - start at beginning of the podcast (not YouTube), and get ready to do some hard work. https://www.stuttering-specialist.com/about-us...

Now… if you agree with that, and feel somewhat suicidal, I strongly suggest you do what I did. Realize that most speech therapists have *no clue how to help stutters*, and their advice can even make ...

Hey, I had a stutter when I was younger because of my insecurities,but regulated my life and basically worked out and ate healthy with the help of someone else. But with Covid I’ve become very unhealt...

Of course! It's really cool what you're doing. All the speech pathologists when I was in school had zero experience with stuttering and in high school I was usually teaching the pathologist about it r...

Yeah you have to have a degree to be a speech therapist in the US. You should definitely do it one day! I’m excited to start...

I offered to do the same in my town. I work as an ALT in Japan(Assistant Language Teacher) well, more like a robot who can speak English, and because my stutter has improved to being mild (but atrocio...

I like what you're doing. In my country theres only 2 speech therapists. Do you have to actually study for that when you've been through it for 30+ years? I might do it when im in my 50s....

This may not sound like the advice you want, but have you tried seeking traditional therapy? My boyfriend has a stutter and therapy helps build his confidence and put his foot down when people try to ...

So it went pretty well actually and my parents made an agreement with the teachers not to pick me to answer unless I want to. I'm also going to a regular psychiatrist in april who used to stutter hers...

Female here. Met a couple more because my speech therapist back then had group sessions, and she strongly suggested i attended....

Female here too. The ratio is something like 1:5 for women:male people who stammer. Ironically I also am a speech therapy student...

I did it as a kid (8-12). I found it quite helpful. I went from stuttering frequently to much less. I still stutter but mostly when excited or stressed. Honestly, I feel like what I learned would be h...

I did it at the same age, but being Australian it was free. I really feel sorry for those who have to pay for it. A discussion for another time......

Yeah, I have and I've said it on this subreddit many a time, but it didn't work as a child. However as a young adult, I think I was 20 or there abouts, I could fully understand both what the therapist...

I did speech therapy when I was 21. (I’m 55 now). Helped me tremendously! It was expensive tho and at the end, when I thought I was “cured” the therapist told me “no, you’ll always stutter, now you h...

Anyone tried speech therapy?

Anyone tried speech therapy? I never tried to treat my stutter in any way. As an adult I don't stutter often and in some ways I feel fortunate about that, but in other ways it's a double-edged sword. ...

But if we don't try therapy, what would we do? Isn't it the only option for us? Should we accept being slaves of our stuttering for all of our lives? Without even trying to overcome this? If you're t...

Yes, this is why in my opinion speech therapy is flawed. It doesn't address the real issue of stuttering...

I have a severe stutter and I have a stable job and so do most PWS that I know. So there is hope but you do need to work on your anxiety. Do you have therapy?...

That sucks you have had crappy therapy. That is not an uncommon experience. Many therapists are ill equipped to treat stuttering; however, there has been a lot of research and training the past 5-ye...
