Speech therapists are a mixed bag. There's helpful ones and unhelpful ones. I've been to three different ones, and the one I'm seeing right now is the only one whose actually helped me and taught (and...

Totally. I was scared as fuck about doing it, but at first we just did phone calls to another assistant in another room and built up to the scarier stuff. Stressful as hell but it was invaluable looki...

In my speech therapy we also went out and practiced. We would do fake surveys, we would make cold calls to businesses asking if they are open and what are their hours, and for graduation we took the t...

It is hard. I struggle with it too. Have you ever tried voluntary stuttering? This was by far the most helpful thing I've ever learned in speech therapy....

Speech therapy only held if you actively practice in real life. 1. Active practice by yourself and then forcing yourself to use techniques 'in public'. Do you ever record your conversations? Look in ...

Sounds like the issue isn't the therapy itself, it's how to use those techniques and mindset in every day situations....

Is there a way for you to do it in person? When I did speech therapy years ago it was at a university(Purdue, for those that want to know) and in person... I felt it helped a lot. I had similar issues...

Debating on weather or not to continue speech therapy.

Debating on weather or not to continue speech therapy. Well, I have stuttered for 11 years and like most people who stutter, speech therapy hasn't really helped. I have been doing Skype session with a...

Very true yea i use to have the s s s stutter type but went to speech therapy when i was younger it sucks doesnt it maybe we should set up like a reading thing for eachother have like a skype call gro...

Yep, that's one of the common effects of stuttering. Not everyone has the classic s-s-s-tutter all the time. Sometimes I'll elonnnnnnnngate a syllable to give myself time to overcome the block. But re...

I agree with u/patttern2. I was in the same situation, using 4 or 5 times a year only at concerts or festivals. It didn't affect my stutter one way or another, but it took the edge off socially which...

I tend to agree with this sentiment. :-D Some speech therapists are poorly trained and callous towards the stuff we are going through. I think being a stutterer is having this gnostic experience that...

So how is your stutter now? Do you kp in contact with other people on your Starfish course? Would you say most are happy with how their stutter improved? ...

Interesting read. In the UK there is a similar and more affordable option called The Starfish project: http://www.starfishproject.co.uk I did the Starfish course and the most helpful part, for me, wa...

I have tried speech therapy (not regularly though) but I don't like how they tell me to talk like a robot. For me it doesn't work outside the clinic. Glad it's been helpful for you :)...

I'm very receptive to speech therapy, but I know it's difficult to integrate strategies learned in speech therapy into real life conversations. There's good speech therapists and bad ones, like the on...

I'd recommend you go to a speech therapist instead. I think hypnotherapists are charlatans preying on the vulnerable and desperate. Speech therapy is a mixed bag, but for me it's been incredibly helpf...

Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapist Hi guys.. I have been thinking about getting hypnotherapy/hypnosis to see if it works. Does anyone know any certified hypnotherapist who has the option of online therapy. (any thoughts ...

>I've tried speech therapy during primary school but that didn't really help long term, **it helped for a brief period** That's totally worth something. It means something helped. Note that stutte...
