There's definitely a lot of things involved in getting to grips with having a stutter. I'm not sure it's feasible to expect a single vocation to sort out all of it. In that sense, we'd be prudent in...

I don't even consider or use the techniques my speech therapist taught me long ago. Yet I've improved a lot, mostly due to my own personal improvement. Not saying therapists are useless... but you're ...

I am a speech therapist and a person who stutters. It’s what makes me so passionate about working with people who stutter. There are actually quite a few well known speech therapists who stutter. Bu...

I never said it was the speech therapist job to address these issues. Some people have misinterpreted that from what I said. I’m sure some do address this but the majority of them do not. At least tha...

>This particular Speech Therapist taught me how to shape my mouth into weird shapes when speaking, how to slow down my words to the pace that it sounded like I was mooing.. she also taught me how t...

But their jobs aren't to console you and to teach you how to feel mentally okay with your stutters - their jobs are to teach you techniques to help you speak more fluently. They know that they obvious...

Im here with a different experience with a speech therapist. I started going to the speech therapist at the age of 14 and it was a stressful time of my life. I was preparing for the high school entran...

Fellow stutterers, what is your experience with ACT?

Fellow stutterers, what is your experience with ACT? My psychologist wants to try doing ACT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_and_commitment_therapy) in a month from now, I was wondering if an...

How is the day to day life of being a SLP? Do you enjoy it?...

I see, it is pretty much what happens to me too. But other ppl also experience stress as mush as we do, but they dont seem to have speech disorder as ours. A funny thing happened to me is when I wen...

Let it out if you need to. But don’t feel despair, we’ve all been there. If you’ve had speech therapy, don’t forget that there’s an emotional side to it too. Speech therapy is good to overcome stutter...

I've been there man. Maybe you should try counselling to help cope with the stress and gain a little acceptance. Even if being less stressed about it all the time doesn't improve your stutter. Still S...

it was 20 years ago for me so keep that in mind. I don't remember much of anything (perks of being a stutterer I think maybe) but I know it was a game changer in terms of getting the chip off my sho...

Couple of points I want to ask about here. - >I’ve had phases (1-2 years) throughout my life when my stuttering reduced quite a bit Did you ever look into what changed during these years, that y...

Yeah I tried speech therapy for a decade, didn't help a bit I guess it's like a therapy session for some people though, they feel more supported after But in terms of increasing fluency, not gonna w...

I recommend it if you can find a good therapist. Not one that works on fluency. One that helps you get from where you are to where you want to be...

Yes, you should go. In my experience you can only go for so long before you kinda learn everything they have to teach you. Then you just have to practice it and work in it yourself on your own time to...

I met a few in a group speech therapy session when I was like 12 (21 now). A couple of years ago I met a woman who stuttered (she was a bank teller serving me). Although the interaction was brief enou...

Alright. I'm not going to undermine your expression of suffering. But you must understand that 19 is not a lot of years. It takes time to get a handle on your stutter. And also, it takes time to figu...

I feel you 100%. Same boat. I would like to start going to therapy. I know it would help big time. The last time I went to therapy I left with basically a high from it. Honestly therapy should be free...
