Yeah it only lasted two weeks and they gave me some strategies like being mindful and breathing more, but there wasn't really a lot of feedback. I'm having trouble remembering because of how long ago ...

A lot of speech techniques, including speaking slowly, concentrating on my tongue's moves (it threw stuttering away for one day) or concentrating on my blocks and ease them, beathing with diaphragm, m...

Your loss. This isn't advertising, i gain no benefit from telling people about the programme. I am just sick of all the complainers on here that would not have a need to complain once they do the McG...

Speech therapists working with dysfluency call these secondary behaviors or physical comorbidities, because they are a separate thing from the stutter itself. People develop these habits over time as ...

I have to agree with how true this is. I've been to a few conferences and the "most therapists don't understand stuttering" is a common theme, unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I'm studying s...

The therapy sessions were how to cope with blocks, reading out loud, repetition with reading out loud, and how I feel about my stammer. It was okay, but I felt like I had more work to do, you know? ...

Hey man! I have been in the army for 4 years. I have had a stutter my entire life. It has presented a ton of problems for me over my entire life, but its something that I still really have not come to...

It's a proper alternative speech therapy course, with a lot of after support. You learn physical techniques as well as a big focus on psychological and public speaking. It's not a cure, it's probably...

I totally feel you :(. I was the same way. Had a stutter since I could remember, was intermittent during elementary and middle school but got worse in high school. I pretty much remained quiet and had...

There is no cure, but you can get to a stage where you have total control over it. That's what people who attend McGuire Courses do. Probably the only adult speech therapy program that actually makes ...

maybe for you and i'm sorry for your disappointment with all your years in therapy. i'm say saying there have been other people who used to stutter and is now fine or have gotten so much better where ...

I have found that even just talking with a speech therapist is helpful.. but they are going to teach you so much valuable tools you cant even imagine. I love how interested and passionate about their ...

Didn't go to therapy since I was 11 when I started again at age 19 in college. 7 out of my 8 semesters of college I went to therapy and it's helped me. Did it help at first? No, so it takes time. ...

I've been a nurse for six years. I can help with questions. As someone who stutters, nursing school sucks. Get through it and you'll find your niche in nursing. It's worth it. ...

Medication for stuttering does not have the same effect on everyone and results may drastically vary. Combined with possible side effects, we don’t want to give false hope that there is a cure or mag...

I appreciate your thoughtful response. It’s funny because as I was typing my comments I was thinking my therapist would disagree with everything I typed. I think dealing with anything includes see...

Thanks for the insight. I kind of felt the same after I had to quit and i felt really guilty as if I wasted alot of time and money. But overall I have improved quite a bit over the past years so I'm ...
