Stimulants help the most; MDMA and amphetamine sulphate being the best. On amphetamine I am 100% fluent. Downers tend to make it worse. Alcohol, weed and LSD make it much worse. Caffeine can help d...

I get people make fun of my blocks all the time, and I laugh about it. Nobody would ever get to me teasing me about. Part of what has improved my speech is that I simply do not give a fuck. ...

Agreed. It didint help me at all....

Self-therapy is not suited for everyone, but if you are motivated enough this book can certainly help....

It was my rock buttom moment when I diced I had to do something. I didn't want to see a SLP because of bad experiences in my Childhood and Teenager years. So I also stumbled upon it and gave it a shot...

I can't recommend this book highly enough. Read it in my late 20's. Changed my life....

I'm the exact same. I live in torment....

Anyone tried "Self-Therapy For The Stutterer"?

Anyone tried "Self-Therapy For The Stutterer"? I stumbled upon this book a while ago but didn't give it much thought.. Now I am taking a second look at it though. Has anyone tried it before? What a...

Thanks for the advice man. Yeah I'm going for it again this fall. I'm thinking about telling them that I have a mild stutter beforehand. We'll see how it goes. I wont certainly be backing down though ...

"EVERYBODY stutters differently!" This. I wish more people would realize this....

Vicious. Not viscous. But yes, you're right....

What you've described is pretty classic stuttering. Increased likelihood of disfluency in conversation, particularly when the "stakes are high." And decreased likelihood of disfluency when alone (if y...

Same here. I got nervous for a high school speech the year before. I worried all year a few times a week. It was so sad, I know....

Yeah. I believe so. I do those things too! I thought I was the only one. I'll pick and choose what words to use. Like before calling someone or ordering something. I avoid words that I know I can't sa...

It sucks when people don't understand. Throughout my life though, I've learned to feel some slight sense of pity for them. That they have never dealt with "people like us". Luckily for me though, we'v...

People trained understand. People untrained do not understand....

I think people in general can have a very limited understanding of stuttering. I am a graduate student clinician studying Speech language pathology. I only have one fluency client on my case load righ...
