>Hi, thanks a lot for the detailed answer! I won't say I'm depressed but there is a lot going through my head. You know, the regular stuff - suicidal thoughts (never had the courage to act upon the...

I had a severe stutter most of my life and was also in therapy that didn't help most of my life (>15 years). Eventually I found one that did. It was different in that it didn't focus on fluency or ...

Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences! I am sorry that you have had negative experiences with an SLP, that is all too common and something that we are trying to address at UT. We do not...

> Except, this time, my head was swirling with techniques and tips and tricks to manage my stutter. Unfortunately, that mental load made my stutter even worse. I remember visiting family for the fi...

My two cents are that it might work, depending on what you put into it. Many other people have said the same, and I agree with that. Is there a university that has a speech/language pathology major? T...

In a nutshell, they had me *relearn* how to speak 'from the ground up.' It was NOT learning small changes to how I speak to avoid stuttering. Stuttering was part of my learned speech. To achieve fl...

It works, if your speech therapist knows what they’re doing. I went to a speech therapist as a kid and she did jack shit about my stuttering. About 2 years ago i started at a new one near my house, an...

When I was young, around 11 or 12, I went to therapy and it helped a lot. I almost became fluent. But then it came back in a year and we couldn't afford therapy again. Now i'm 23 and started therapy 4...

No doubt. One of the other stutterers in my group was a female from the UK. Being able to hang out with a group of other stutterers in real life is cool. I would definitely keep something like Hollin...

I was in speech therapy for 16 years all the was from 3-19. I even went to summer therapy sessions in Omaha, NE at Boys Town and Dr. Nausheen Waheed was my pathologist for that summer. I was fluent fo...

Very expensive and it didn't work for me. I was taking sessions in my mid 20s. I believe therapy is mostly effective with children or teens. The exercises you do with therapy can be done by yourself a...

Thanks for the advice. When I was doing speech therapy one to one my therapist didn't really give me homework it was more like she would just get me to read and talk to her for the session and then as...

1000% YES! I was a severe stutterer from ~age 3 up until my 20's. I was a severe stutterer from my earliest memory. Severe, as in, never a fluent sentence. Blocks so bad that I ran out of air. I kne...

Thanks so much. I actually noticed recently that I struggle to make eye contact with strangers or people I'm not comfortable with and I've practised it with my friend/girlfriend ( our relationship is ...

To a tiny bit of an extent. Just know that speech therapists will ask you why you've come to them that the aim is to improve your confidence that your stutter doesn't have to define you, and they'll r...

I’ve seen a few speech therapists here and there for it. I don’t really know what to make of it it’s just the way I am I guess...

I’ve had speech therapy before. At least my stammer is a lot better than it was now lol....

At the time I'd say it was moderate on average, severe on a bad day. Now (a lot of speech therapy later) it's consistently mild. IMHO your time and money is better spent on therapy....

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist who also stutters. This is TERRIBLE handout full of "strategies" that any speech therapist who specializes in stuttering would NEVER, NERVER recommend....

Speech therapy is laden with therapists who don't know anything about stuttering. Half of graduate slp programs only spend one class on "fluency" (stuttering). Many programs don't have a single lesson...
