I have a textbook narcissistic dad and a narcissistic/ enabling mother. I've always thought my blocks had somthing to do with that....

I have nowhere near narcissistic parents, but they definitely had certain parenting practices that weren’t the best for a kid that’s on its way of holding back: - “Let me do it.” - for something that...

Something I forgot to add in the post was that children of narcissists often develop nervous ticks. So my line of thinking is that a stutter in these cases would be that nervous tick....

I would think being hit would have definitely had a negative impact on your speech. And the fact that your mother was so unpredictable could've have instilled some nervous tick, which in your case wou...

My mom is a textbook narcissist and I had to cut her out of my life because she was so toxic. She would hit me in the back of the head when I stuttered so that I would get my words out. Dunno if t...

Narcissistic parents

Narcissistic parents Hello everyone, I hope your day is going well. I recently was thinking about how our stutters develop and no doubt, our parents/caregivers have a huge impact. I wanted to get so...

For me, my escape and salvation was facing my fears. Without realising it, I turned trauma into success. My first serious job was talking to people in a call centre. Again, my stutter still existed ...

I was 6. In 2nd grade. I had a very scary teacher who literally bashed kids. I was afraid to speak up or do anything that entire year. My stutter started that year. All stutterers I know have a single...

Great advice! Really! I'm 35 and have had a stutter since a young child. At your age of 13 was definitely the hardest period due to school speeches etc where I was forced to stand in front of peers ...

Can a stutter be classified as Tourette’s? Gone through years of therapies for my speech (among other things) which have all proved ineffective but seeing as it’s the only treatment for stuttering, I’...

Thank you! :) I will look into CBT as well. My confidence has been shattered, anxiety dialed up to a 100, so just working on that might help a lot along the way....

NHS will be a waiting list, and the length of time you have to wait will depend on how many other people in your area also need help. Often the priority is given to children, so the wait can be long b...

Stuttering in only one language?

Stuttering in only one language? I have been raised bilingual, and the language I'm stuttering in is actually the one I have known better since childhood, so it makes no sense. I have started stutteri...
