Imaging you read aloud to yourself for 1 hour everyday for 1 year. 365 hours of practicing saying and pronouncing words fluently. You think your stutter wouldn’t improve? Then couple this with 1 hour ...

“My voice being hearable makes me stutter” I can relate to that a lot. Do you read aloud a lot to practice speaking? For me a lot of my stuttering came from not being able to organize my thoughts Into...

Thank you, I felt the need to speak up that it was disturbing for this individual to view every stutterer as an object that needs fixing then charging a service when I had made it clear to him I’m fin...

Agreed with everyone! I've had a speech therapist who stutters, it really helps with the empathy/understanding sides of things!...

I had one in the past. I appreciated it to be honest. You know for sure they know what you’re going through and are probably better suited to helping you since they have “skin in the game”....

I go to speech therapy at a university and one of the students there had/has a pretty severe stutter. It made it more personal bc I knew he knew what I was going through....

At 19 years of age, you're about smack in the middle of the ages I was at when I had speech therapy. I did speech therapy around 15 or 16 years of age. It didn't help. When I went back and did the sam...

Yea I tried Bill Parry's Valsalva Control technique religiously for years. While for the more severe stutterers, it does help you to get your words out and reach a certain level of fluency, it's still...

Seeking help (my story)

Seeking help (my story) It’s going to be a long read, and English is not my native language so excuse me if I make some mistakes. (25 years old male) I’ve stuttered for a while when I was a kid, bu...

I’ve done speech therapy but it’s been useless for me. Easy onset, prolonging the word, light contact, etc has been useless for me during interviews and phone calls. Thank you for sharing! I won’t be ...

Yes. As I've said many times in my few weeks on this subreddit, it was the adult speech therapy I had in my late teens/early 20s that made all the difference. If its available, do it....

1000% YES, go to speech therapy. I didn't get fluent 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 k...

I'm in my thirties now. When I was in my early twenties I tried speech therapy. I found it quite weird. I found my speech would improve for a day or two after a session then get way worse after that. ...

I've had almost the same experience as yours. I went to therapy when i was around 8-9 and it realllly helped me, but it got back and as i got older it kept getting worse. We were not in a good financi...
