You shouldn't be sorry for me. I stuttered most of my life. I went through several therapies sessions. Eventually, I became an adjunct professor and delivered lectures at different colleges for 20+...

Can't agree with you. Quite opposite, replacing your name, associated with your embedding stuttering personality, with the new one, can help to switch the track....

Avoidances like this ultimately make the problem worse bc they reinforce the core issue. Also, because blocks happen because of inability to word-switch, ultimately, the nickname will become the prob...

Unless his SLP has been directly trained in dysfluency, it’s likely they have almost zero formal knowledge about stuttering and treat it as if it’s an articulation disorder. Once you understand what ...

speak slowly with him & stop treating him as a stutter. he's still young & you shouldn't plant the idea that he's a stutter, it's gonna be a self-fulfilling prophesy you should instead help him find ...

I remember saying to my parents while crying: The more I try not to stutter, the more it happens Well this was true! ...

What a great explanation, you've certainly shown me a great perspective.  So the thing I should try is to "not try to impose certain rules to myself" Question: how to get rid of the self-imposed rules...

>You said: "So if we priotize forward flow of speech over accurate error free speech we may lead to stutter remission." Yes, at least it can lead to fluent speech just like when we do choral speaking...

Yes, I agree, at least for me this is true. After all, my goal is to eventually, one day, hopefully, achieve stuttering remission (and subconscious fluency) - suggesting that I should indeed - as you ...

Interesting result after trying speech therapy.

Interesting result after trying speech therapy. I’ve struggled with stuttering my ENTIRE life. My Mom does too and it’s just been something I’ve accepted. I’m 35F and it seems to be getting worse with...

I have seen a video on choral speech(forward speech) before and yeah it's an interesting research According to my understanding: Defensive mechanism gets activated due to the perceived threats in ou...

So basically what ever "technique" we use it should be favoured towards "forgetting out stutter" otherwise that technique is not for use right? Example: when I'm Exhilarated to talk I speak fluently...

that was exactly me when I was 13. mine was really bad at that age. I also hated going to speech therapy and never practiced. Therapy never really helped me. Just don't give him a hard time about it o...

Thank you for your answer, but I'd really prefer not to do that. It would logically be a nickname that starts with the letter of my first name anyway, and if it's not, I feel like I'm too old for that...

Thank you for your reply! He does want to quit speech therapy. How did you know? I don't think I can let him quit right now. I want him to know it's part of growing up- just practicing his hobbies/ in...

Even I started to stutter at 12-13 years of age like you. If your abdomen is tight, it means you didn't detect your smaller stutters that came before the main stutter and didn't notice that you ran o...

[This](https://youtu.be/XhZ0654d2WU?t=1075) video starts at 17:55 when discussing the **fluency-speech accuracy** trade-off model. This might explain why we speak fluently during choral speech: We fo...

Summary of his strategies: see [this screenshot](https://imgur.com/ojONLZV). ([1](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/ykyoxs/tips_to_improve_stuttering_according_to_the_book/)) I think these wo...

I have a solution for you: get a nickname. Choose one you feel comfortable to pronounce. Also it should help bc it will not be associated with your psychological ID. Your ego will suffer, but it’s a c...

Please help! I'm really struggling.

Please help! I'm really struggling. I have been stuttering since I was 10 or 11. Now I am 29. I am really struggling with my stutter. it happens in the form of blocks. a block can last even for more ...
