Why should you feel elated when you have a moment of fluency?...

Interesting. Do you usually present yourself as "a stutterer", and/or avoid doing stuff because "I stutter"? How do you imagine other stutterers go about their stuttering?...

I wouldn't feel guilty, but it's a bit awkward. People often generalise and fail to see the complexity of stuttering and might think you're simulating, but you shouldn't feel guilty, because people wh...

i get confused or surprised sometimes by an unexpected bout of fluency but never guilty....

Feeling guilty for brief moments of fluency?!

Feeling guilty for brief moments of fluency?! Last night my wife needed to get a car wash, and since I was going to be out, I figured I'd get us Carl's Jr. for dinner. This immediately started an inte...

i'm telling ya, listen to stuttertalk.com Peter talks a lot about what his training was like and the crazy stuff he still hears therapists hear. There's a recent episode with Heather Grossman that is ...

As an slp-in-in training, I really appreciate this. I much prefer working to reduce the struggle than fluency shaping techniques. I'm not sure about all stuttering specialists, but my professor taught...

i envy you bro seriously... i block on every single sound!...

Thank you for your input. I've found if I voluntary stutter like pretend to repeat words I do not block. I might start doing this as at least I can communicate hahaa :)...

Wow, first trying therapy at 30 is really something. Just a quick note i've learned regarding therapists, they almost all mean well but there's actually very few who truly understand stuttering. Who r...

I've attended 3 of the last 4 and will continue to go every year, regardless of how I am doing with my speech. The conference bounces around all the US, hard to predict where it will be next. I consid...

Thanks I appreciate that. I'm proud of who I am, stutter and all, even if it feels that it impacts how other people interact with me at times. As I said in my above reply, I do need to work on being c...

I can acknowledge that I probably communicate a sense of frustration at times when I'm struggling to get my words out. So yes, when family or whomever else will avoid starting a conversation, although...

I've been thinking about this. I think it would be an amazing experience and I definitely want to go by next year. It may very well be held in a city much further away than Chicago next year, but this...

SLP graduate student chiming in here. First things first, please listen to the other replies and stop jerking your head. It is a secondary behavior and it will only make it WORSE. How do you stop the ...

You can be fluent but I feel that's something I had to learn on my own. At the same time, SLPs helped me neutralize my impediment to the point where I only stutter 3% of the time. I can say my name, ...

The slps who focus on fluency are almost setting you up for failure. They usually teach fluency shaping techniques or some similar techniques for "controlling" how you speak so it's never natural or s...

wait, what?...

hopefully not a specialty in stuttering AND **fluency** lol. That can be a disaster....

This is my opinion also .The solution for op is to stutter with confidence ....
