Speaking only for my case and myself, stuttering was just a manifestation of a bigger problem. I don't stutter when i'm alone. This is profound. This means I don't ''have'' a stutter in the same way ...

See, I generally just laugh off comments because it comes from a place of genuine discomfort and/or confusion. But when some straight up laughs at me and turns to walk away, thats a whole other ball g...

Agree with this point. Stuttering was not my ''problem,'' so much as a manifestation of my ''problem.'' So techniques to avoid stuttering were and are only useful to me in terms of avoiding creating a...

psychedelics and stuttering

psychedelics and stuttering Hi guys, I wanted to share an experience I had with psychedelics and how it related with my stuttering. Please take what I say with a grain of salt. I’m not a speech thera...

I dug up my old powerpoints just to be sure but yes, I was meaning to talk about the Lindcombe program! It’s implemented in two stages, where in the first the parent will come into the clinic weekly f...

I am studying psychology and well yes, what she is doing is really bad for your self esteem and your view on your stutter. Our stutter isnt something we can get rid off. The reason we stutter is bio...

Apart from other comments offering great advice on how to make the stutter better, I am here to say that, **IF he doesn't get better, don't push him too hard.** Of course, I wish the best for your s...

> The Lindcombe Program is one example. No, Lidcombe is like the polar opposite. It’s behavioral, not counseling based at all. Smooth speech gets rewarded, bumpy speech gets sometimes punished (i...

Hi, I’m in grad school studying to become a speech-language pathologist. I still have a year left to go, so take everything I’m about to say with a grain of salt. Short and sweet answer is yes, 100%,...

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us. I have always believed stuttering to be psychological, atleast for some of us. 3 years back, I stated an opinion here (without concur facts), that s...

Gaffe machine? Gaffe machine only as much as he’s lied numerous times and plagiarized speeches from other people so that’s two totally different things. You call gaffes I just call lies. On the spee...

I'm very sorry to hear you had to experience all of that. I know how complicated it is when you know your parent is a good person and loves you, but just doesn't have it in them to really be the paren...

I’m so sorry to hear your sibling are essentially bullying you. To be honest, I know the horror and defeatism that comes with siblings being rude about your stutter. My brother would literally be up i...

Ahh well no worries, it's good we can help and support each other. What has been eye opening is most speech impediment diagnosed people seem to have the same mental scarring......

See it’s complex because when I was suffering my mum was severely depressed, and my dad started drinking. My brother smashed the house up every day so you know, things weren’t great. It’s complex also...

You should check out the book, "Running on empty". It's basically about parents who neglect their children emotionally. Your story resonates a lot with me. Though I didn't have the same situation, I h...

My Story (Vent, Rant, Advice)

My Story (Vent, Rant, Advice) Hey guys, Im 19 and live with a stutter. I believe that my anxiety was a product of my stutter but I am now certain that its the other way around. My stutter became not...

If you can afford it, my suggestion would be therapy. Not speech therapy! I mean standard "let's talk about your parents and how they shaped your emotional state" therapy that lots of people go to. Be...

You're holding in repressed emotions. Theres same emotions are what make your stutter worse and worse. So it makes sense. My advice would be learning the art of letting go and accepting. Bioenergeti...

That depression episode was such a trauma to you that it revealed your stutter (my assumption). Noone really knows but I have have a similar experience but it wasn't depression, it was stress. That br...
