Interesting result after trying speech therapy.

Interesting result after trying speech therapy. I’ve struggled with stuttering my ENTIRE life. My Mom does too and it’s just been something I’ve accepted. I’m 35F and it seems to be getting worse with...

Does aiming for more fluency - increase stuttering? Or were we always wrong to believe this? Research: "The Fluency-Accuracy trade-off model in stuttering"

I experienced this so much - I would just keep at it every day - I’d talk more when I was having a “good” day to kind of makeup for the not so good days. If others realize you can be fluent and then y...

I used to love the summertime when I was a kid because my stutter always eased off for those couple of months. Unfortunately it stopped being as kind to me as I grew up...

I just failed my first serious job interview at 25 years old.

I just failed my first serious job interview at 25 years old. Idk how to feel about it, I barely stuttered once which is why it's more frustrating. I took an L today guys....

I've observed this pattern with my son throughout his childhood- weeks or months with bumpy speech, then weeks or months with smooth speech, sometimes 100% smooth speech. I was never able to identify ...

Darn. I just become more alarmed by my increase in stuttering when I experience more occurrences when I'm more expressive rather than more accustomed to my stuttering. In my case, berry mild-moderate ...

Yeah when I was a kid I was relaxed during summertime and stressed during the school year. My stutter is heavily impacted by how stressed or anxious I am so naturally I had a harder time when I was at...

i was thinking this when he had that moment during the debate where he went silent for a few second and then said smth he obviously didn't mean to say. i related so much to certain moments in the deba...

100%. I went to a sleepaway camp every summer as a kid, and I rarely stuttered there. At school I did, a lot. As an adult, I stutter at work and with family but rarely in interactions with strangers...

I’ve been where you are… sometimes my stutter would be so bad that my facial muscles and eyes would hurt from blinking and tightening the muscles. It is exhausting. Physically and emotionally. One t...

Thank you, my stuttering got worse over the years so this improvement is a big blessing....

My stutter also varies in intensity based on the audience as well. I am a sales executive and I can usually speak (mostly) fluently with my clients and coworkers, and with my husband and adult kids, b...

Same. I think it gets worse only in very stressful situations. Other time I'm just tired thinking of it. But we can't live again our past life without stuttering and it sucks....

I'm an SLP and I want to validate you... this is so typical with stuttering- it changes! Also - that cycle of anxiety that you so eloquently described "feeds" the stuttering. Don't look at it as regr...

Oh. I've never heard of that! I have two brothers and neither of them inherited our mother's stutter, just me. And again, my son never inherited mine. I never know how to classify my stutter, ha! Ma...

I don’t think people realize stuttering is an actual thing. So for them, it’s a joke - or funny to hear someone stumble on their words and don’t understand the weight, stress and anxiety it causes the...

Imagine for a moment that you managed to rid off stuttering. What's next? You're the same person and as practice shows, there are a lot of people without speech problems that have suicidal ideation as...

Wow! Can I commiserate! I was totally fluent for the previous 5 years, and then boom! Now I identify as a stutterer again. I don't even know why this thing is such a terrible label because I'm 77, and...
