Look up Vipassana. It is an ancient meditation practice where you enroll for a 10 day meditation ritual in a vipassana ashram or monastery. For those 10 days you live like a monk and perform this medi...

I agree that there are cases where it's impossible to treat, but I seriously doubt that it's the majority, since from what I noticed, the majority, or at least a good share, don't stutter when they ta...

It would be permanent if all the possible stressful events didn't happen within 2 months span, even though my life was never stress-free, and probably if I didn't read about this topic shortly before ...

I mean, it checks out. I have ADHD and anxiety. Pretty typical for most people to suffer with some cognitive distortions as well....

Doesn’t exist. Have you ever prepared for a presentation or wrote out everything you were gonna say? When presentation time comes, you either have severe blockage or nerves. You just wing it. As I get...

As I said, my fluency lasted a looong time to be just a temporary relief, and if I didn't go through all this extreme, enormous stress for both the mind and body, and didn't remind myself of stutter s...

*Abstract:* In this presentation, a new theoretical model for the development of stuttering is proposed, based on the principles of cognitive – behaviour theory and our clinical experience with a gre...

I trust my own experience more — I randomly went absolutely fluent in mid-teens, and was perfect up until recently, but the stress that made me relapse was very extreme, and before that I handled very...

I'm having a mental breakdown.

I'm having a mental breakdown. I'm a recovering drug addict (9 months clean from opioids), I have a social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder,ocd, depression and probably ADHD. I'm on so ...

gmpros2 Just interested. Do you think that the latest Pres. Biden fiasco relates to his unresolved stuttering? And if yes, to what extent? Could it be result of his tiredness, jet lag, lack of sleep...

I sought therapy back in 2015 and it really helped. Then I thought I was over it, until I had a very bad episode in front of all my colleagues in 2023. Now I'm trying to get back on track and working ...

I dont think I ever stammer when talking to my mum. It happens with my dad quite a bit I've noticed but it's not like I'm scared or arguing or anything. Last time I was taking him to the doctors and b...

I have the same (all the time). Probably anxiety, confidence, overall mood. Do you know if the situations where you stammer had something in common?...

Love this post, thank you for sharing! I had a similar idea a few times, like should I just let it go and let repetitions happen? But I must admit I always chicken out when it comes to actually doing...

I’m in a similar situation, but have made some progress. I got into psychology/ mindfulness, and learned to attune to my internal world. This is my advice, because the reason for your stutter is ther...

The Veterans Affairs (in the US) classifies stuttering as a mental disorder. My assumption based on that has been stuttering is majority effected by something going on up in my noggin. Something’s mak...

I know this was nine years ago but I just wanted to say wow thank you so, so much for this post. I’m F26 and not only can I resonate so much with the harsh words from when I was a kid but also with ...

Pressure = stress, stress = anxiety, anxiety (usually triggers) = stuttering....

Hey man! Yes mostly everything is in our head. I have read this thing somewhere which says , 'When you don't stutter in your head, you don't have a stutter.' And I literally felt it. But sometimes we ...

I was a university administrator for 20 years and then a high school teacher for 15 years. Although both required a lot of speaking, I coped with it. Not easy, and some days were crap, but I enjoyed b...
