I had a speech therapy session today

I had a speech therapy session today I am trying speech therapy again. The last time I tried it seven years ago it ended badly. Chalk it up to lack of maturity and drive to really do well but now I am...

Thank you! I went to a speech therapist multiple times when I was younger and she'd make me read a text book and I'd be crystal clear and she would say I'm fine. She didn't get that reading was differ...

Nope =/ I've been to several over the years and have not had much luck but it might be worth it to try again when I have more time, for sure. Thanks for responding!...

In a reply to my post, I described what the exercises focused on. If you Google "orofacial disorders" and "myofunctional therapy" you can learn about the problem and find specific examples of exercise...

A few years back I did see a therapist who was also a stuttered. It was a good experience. He was incredibly fluent but had little blocks here and there. The conversations we had were always very int...

Thank you. The exercises revolved around tongue elevation, rapidly saying plosive consonants, swallowing correctly, and orofacial muscle awareness. I don't know about you, but when I used to stutter, ...

First off, I'd like to congratulate you on achieving fluency and thank you for sharing your information. I too am 36 and have stuttered for the entirety of my life. I found your post very interesting ...

I've had ones that stutter and they are the best because they understand stuttering on a deep intimate level....

I would probably have preferred it as a kid, as I had a strong sense of "what does this person even know" when I was in speech therapy. That said, I'm not much of a believer in speech therapy in gene...

It doesn't matter as long as they're good. There's tons of slps who stutter ...

I'd love to try this tbh. I just feel that therapists never really understand what the problem really is if they've never stuttered. edited for double negatives...

To answer in all honesty I'd say it'd feel pretty weird. But also getting to speak to someone who truly understands i great too. If the person that's trying to help you got the same problem as you d...

I remember going to speech therapy in elementary​ school through high school. It was provided by the public schools. Never helped because I didn't stutter in front of them....

Well I won't deny my theory has its flaws haha I am the same though, I stutter even with my closest friends, but doctors and therapists somehow make me more fluent....

Do you believe going to therapy is helpful if the therapist can't help you work through your blocks as you have them? I'm wondering how helpful it will be. Maybe just being in a location where I'm flu...

I am fluent speaking with my doctor as well. I think you are correct, but I also think there's more to it. My mother is accommodating as well, but I stutter around her....

Same happens to me. The biggest thing in therapy to me is trying to move that comfortableness that you have with your doc to the real world....

Yeah this does happen sometimes. Not just the speech therapist, I often speak fluently when talking to a doctor or therapist. Maybe it's because they are trained to appear accomodating and unimposing...

I began speech therapy and was completely fluent speaking to the speech therapist.

I began speech therapy and was completely fluent speaking to the speech therapist. As soon as I went back to work I started stuttering again. Anyone else have a similar experience? Why is my brain tr...

I know someone who went, and the program helped him permanently improve his speech. He paid for me to go when I was 19. I remained highly fluent for about 6 months after the end of the program. I prac...
