Self-acceptance, speaking from the heart, resolving traumas, resolving inner conflicts, courage, mindfulness. That sums it up but it hasn't been simple. It's taken a lot of introspection....
I'd go with unrelated as well, simply because of the amount my mouth has changed with years of braces (my palette was extremely narrow from sucking my thumb as a child, I even ended up with this metal...
Wise words. There are similarities with my experience. Self-acceptance and dealing with repressed emotions have been key for overcoming my own problems, including stuttering....
I think everyone here has had the experience you describe. My stutter was much like yours, where I would work so hard to get a syllable out that I'd contort my face, make unpleasant noises as I tried ...
I can believe that would make a difference. But... Have you ever heard that when blind people somehow recover their sight, they have actually higher chances of becoming suicidal? Have you ever notice...
The educational setting is by far the hardest. Wether I was 7 or 27 the anxiety was the same. To feel completely cursed by an affliction that everyone is so comfortable making a joke of...but maybe t...
I doubt therapy for emotions related to stuttering would help my particular condition (I’ve grown accustomed to living the “mute life”, as it were). I genuinely think there’s a huge neurological compo...
Yes, most of that was me delving into the dark recesses of my mind and figuring things out. Speech therapy was largely useless in this regard, but I have had counselling which has helped me deal with ...
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...
Yeah, like in Umbrella Academy there's a character who stutters (which is cool!), but only when he's emotionally hurt. It's basically used for dramatic effect to show when he's feeling defeated....
I just started my stutter journey. Do you have any tips?
I just started my stutter journey. Do you have any tips? I was recently diagnosed with PANDAS, an autoimmune disease where my brain is attacked in response to a strep infection. This puzzled my doctor...
No problem,perhaps I wasn’t clear enough.So from March to September it almost eradicated,and a couple of stressful and traumatic situations unlocked it again.The most disappointing thing is the contra...
Phone calls traumatized me too. My Dad used to force me to call my relatives when I was younger. My grandmother yelled “Hello” for the entire duration of my block, then hung up on me. I still refuse...
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...
That makes me so happy. I thought no one knew about it since it’s quite old and not a perspective that’s taken seriously in speech therapy. I also discovered it years ago It validated the intuition I’...
This piece by Harrison fundamentally changed how I thought about my blocking when I first read it some years ago now, but I always have trouble finding it when I think of it for some reason. Thanks fo...
Great article my dude.. Basically, stuttering is both neurological and psychological.. We have a predisposition to stuttering if a trauma arises..It's more like a habit, constant rumination and intrus...
This happened to me when I was 15. I stuttered and all of a sudden I had this deep fear of it and did everything possible to hide it. There are a lot of theories about the causes of stuttering so we ...
Adult onset stuttering
Adult onset stuttering Hey guys, I've started stuttering basically out of the blue a year ago at 22 years of age... I don't really know the cause of it, It could be drugs, medications I take (Valium a...
