They've all addressed symptoms, but not the root cause. Certain methods, such as DAF, work very well for some. For others, they offer limited benefit, or relief that subsides once the brain "figures ...

We have found that there has been quite a significant improvement since he started speech therapy. We only started pushing for it once he started becoming aware of it and when he started becoming awar...

I definitely think I have, speech therapy helped my self-esteem a lot and I have kind of figured out the rest on my own. You're forced to speak more as you get older, and practice makes perfect. It is...

I was too young to realize it at first, but once I hit about 17 I started noticing that I wasn't getting any benefit out of treatment. Tried to pass that along to the therapist, didn't get any positiv...

A shame you stayed in that place for so long. Or at least, you should've made them change their focus or something. Not sure how "malleable" their therapy could be, of course. Have you "browsed" othe...

I was looking for a way to manage my stutter out in the real world. (School, work, socially). That didn't change at all from when I started therapy, actually became worse as I aged. ...

Interesting. I mean, the way you present it. Tell me if I'm wrong, but did you perhaps need more than just being "comfortable"? Like, you wanted more radical change?...

Their hearts were in the right place, but the therapy modalities that are currently in place are not designed for long-term success. They're designed to make the client feel comfortable with their spe...

I trust that you mentioned this "vanishing of progress" to them... I haven't had much therapy myself - some when I was a kid, and some when I was older - but 10 years sounds like an awful lot. I do h...

I found that I was able to speak fluently in a therapy session, but as soon as I left the building it was like I had never made progress. Stuttering for some is very situational. For me, 10 years of...

>**Speech therapy was a waste of time** as stuttering would sorta just come and go as it pleased. Have you considered trying again? Therapy differs depending on therapist/client relation (and ther...

Not sure where to go from here

Not sure where to go from here Sorry for the long post, but I have a lot I'd like to get off my chest. First, I've had a stutter all my life. It comes and goes, and I can even remember days where I di...

Are you me? Modeling stuttering after others / feeling it's a developed behavior rather than innate. Mute through high school, girlfriend opened you up, sunk deep into WoW. Played guitar. Better spee...

I definitely got the same feeling from the school speech therapy I was put in. The majority of our sessions just involved me reading outloud from a book....

Glad to hear you're doing well! I also went to see a speech therapist for a few sessions, the ironic thing was that when I was talking to her, I barely stuttered once. She found it really hard to bel...

I went to speech therapy late as an adult, I went maybe 8 visits? I'm not sure why I wasn't put in speech as a child, maybe the resources weren't there, or maybe my school wasn't on the ball. Anywa...

she said I don't understand, you always wanted to ditch anyways was the first sentence than i stopped reading it. I was taking first year intensive russian in the summer at the time, and I told them I...

Therapy can be a fickle thing, in part depending on the relation between client and therapist. You could try again to find out what happens this time around....

My parents put me through loads of it when I was a small child but all of that was useless. I don't think any of those speech pathologists had a single clue on how to deal with stutter, honestly. A bi...

Start speech therapy again, it won't cure you, but it helps, and even a mild improve can make a lot to your daily life. A psychologist might help too, not directly with your stutter but with all the a...
