I'm sorry :( I have heard that the speech techniques are often not as helpful for people as counseling for emotions related to stuttering. Thank you for your response....

I'm sorry :( Treatment for stuttering is something that many of us don't get enough training on in graduate school, although we would all like more of it! I have heard the most helpful therapists ar...

Thanks for your response! Do you feel like you ended up doing #6 mostly yourself? I try hard to make sure students know to do what's best for them, and that therapy ideas are just suggestions...

Thanks for your response! It's good to know that the speech tools are helpful (in addition to the counseling aspect)...

Ahh okay, I didn't know! Yeah, the speech therapist was working at the public school I went to, so it was very basic. We mostly just played board games and talked, to be honest, at least from what I c...

I went for two one-hour sessions around the age of 30. Most helpful were practical tools I could use to help hide/defeat my stutter....

Started stuttering at age 12 and never went to speech therapy as a child. I sought out a speech therapist myself when I was in my 20s and he was a actually a dentist and former stutterer. He focused p...

1. Yes 2. Years of various types 3. No 4. The iceberg idea of surface and hidden emotions (I encountered this as an adult) 5. Begin to delve into the emotional aspects of speech dysfluency 6. Emotiona...

As part of a speech therapy program I had to practice street contacts, e.g. stopping someone and asking how to get to some place I found it hard to say. I was becoming more accepting of my stammer at ...

>slow down, stop talking, take a deep breath, and try again but slower These are very generic and often ineffective things to say to a stutterer. If you're still adhering to this "training", it's ...

I’m 30. Been stuttering since I was 6 — however, from that age until about 16, it was pretty mild/moderate. Suddenly progressed to severe (like Ken Pile in “A Fish Called Wanda” severe) from 16 onward...

Speech Therapy Helpful for You?

Speech Therapy Helpful for You? Hello everyone :), I'm a speech therapist and I have several students right now who stutter. I wanted to ask you a few questions: 1. Did you receive speech therapy as...

I didn’t see any type of therapist until I was in my late 20s after stuttering since age 12. He was a former stutterer and approached the treatment from a psychological perspective instead of a mechan...

These were all great advice but I would like to add that there is no shame in going to a psychiatrist if you are seeing yourself as dysfunctional and unable to meet appointments or work with your empl...

Thanks for the feedback.Did you manage to reduce your anxiety and blocking in the long run?...

Attended it numerous times.Had momentary effect,then back to the blocking....

Does it still universally traumatise you or only with that specific person?And if it doesn’t what strategies did you use to overcome it?...

I read it maybe 6-7 years ago, and no, it hasn't had much if any effect on my speech (which is mostly passable these days). What it did for you is basically what it did for me: validated the suspicion...

She definitely meant “circumlocution.” And many, many SLPs graduate with zero clinical experience with people who stutter, so you’re probably right, at least as far as her skills with you....

My speech therapist in high school always called it "circumnavigation." Maybe their faulty terminology is an indicator of their skills as a speech therapist. After all, I didn't experience any positiv...
