Being “ghosted” by speech pathologist(s) I finally found a speech pathologist within my city that my insurance would cover the cost of, and I finally started to make some progress. I ended up getting ...

How have you found speech therapy?

How have you found speech therapy? I only ask because my experiences have been quite negative. They look at me like I'm crazy when I explain about how I swap words etc....

From my own experience and the experience of other people I know, most speech therapy doesn't really work as promised. And then they accuse you for not practice enough and then you feel horrible for b...

Normally I wouldn't comment on someone sharing what's helped them, but #1 is a really harmful trick that you do not want to develop at part of your pattern. Breathing in before you speak is a very unp...

I'm glad it worked for you. I've heard story after story from a lot of other stutterers who had the same experience as me. If you are able to control your speech, it's because of the techniques. If y...
