I totally feel with you on this one. The amount of times iv had people look at me funny when I’m not able to say my name. Saying your name is the one word we cannot change. But I believe a lot of the ...
I’ve never accepted it and don’t know what that means (well I do know but it sounds… not very encouraging but anyways) - my stutter is so mild now that it’s not something I think about unless somethin...
I was in some sort of speech therapy in school since kindergarten. None of it worked. This was back in the late 80s and 90s. It made me feel like an outcast because they had me in this tiny room with...
Yup 100%. I started stuttering when I was in kindergarten I think. Two reasons could have caused this - one would be the fact that my mom and dad always used to argue and that caused a lot of stress a...
In my limited research and absolute personal truth, the physical aspects of stuttering are a symptom of the problem. Stuttering is 100% mental and the fear of stuttering drives perpetuates it....
Stuttering is half physical, half mental, in my opinion. I think that's why they haven't made progress curing it yet. If it was just one or the other, it would have been easier to fix....
I can relate wholeheartedly. Stuttering has a way of stripping us of our sociability in a way non-stutterers cannot even begin to fathom. Even for those of use that aren’t very social to begin with o...
A cognitive behavioral therapist that works on your mindset is probably the best fit for you. Lots of people have differences that they have to live with and compensate for, but it doesn't make them l...
I think that people that refer themselves for therapy make the most progress because they are motivated and want to change. Ask your therapist for homework/practice assignments to do between sessions ...
You might be the only one that stutters, but there might be personality traits that run in your family, such as people-pleasing and having an over-reactive nervous system, that could have led to the d...
what was your childhood like ? cuz stuttering depends on how much you spoke when you were young. For me, i didn’t talk a lot w other ppl which is one of the causes of my stutter....
Thank you for your comment. It is fascinating that you have family members that also stutter. Hmm I was hit by a car when I was a child but miraculously, with no injuries. I think I have social anxie...
Mum, Uncle, Gran, Grandpas Mum, younger brother. Uncles kids don’t have one so it’s only my mums kids who’ve been cursed. Do you have any traumatic events you can remember? A fall or something lik...
*"Blocks happen bc you are trying too hard to avoid stuttering. Alcohol simply makes you try less harder."* There's no evidence to suggest this is true. If this is the case why did I start stutteri...
It is true that we **may** only have a *predisposition* towards stuttering, although I don't think its fair to say that it can triggering this predisposition can entirely be avoided. Twin studies seem...
I basically said the same thing. Once your brain makes the neural pathways for anxiety/fear, they can take over in all situations. This is an extreme example, but a military vet who gets panic att...
Stuttering gives me anxiety, and anxiety makes me stutter.
Stuttering gives me anxiety, and anxiety makes me stutter. I used to not GAF about the fact that I stutter, then for some reason, I got a huge complex about it. I started trying to “play it off” and n...
I miss him or is it co dependency
I miss him or is it co dependency We had met in college in September 2019 and we had started off as a one night stand. After that we had sex every weekend as we was busy during the week cause of schoo...
It sounds like you carry some fair amount of pain related to your stutter. Speaking to a psychologist might help you resolve or ease some of this pain. A lot of us carry around a lot of hurt from stu...
Ok, I admit I responded to the quote and didn't actually see your comment which does actually explain it well. But I would also argue that using a trick to avoid trauma and distress is fine, but the ...
