YES! I'm a 26F now but I went to a support group for the first time when I was about 21 and I say regularly that it (and aptly timed speech therapy) changed my life! Having never met someone else who ...

Going to a group like that was one of the best decisions I ever made! I hope you continue to stick with it!...

I remember when I entered speech therapy I was "on the border of very severe" now I would classify myself as moderate on average. I honestly don't think acceptance - for me, at least - is possible at...

Yes glossphobia is my primary concern. I am an acute stutterer. And no I'm not in any kind of treatment right now. ...

Doesn't sound like a very thorough process, no. You might want to try it again, just to see if you can gain some better results. - I was in speech therapy when I was a kid, and that was basically th...

Yeah it only lasted two weeks and they gave me some strategies like being mindful and breathing more, but there wasn't really a lot of feedback. I'm having trouble remembering because of how long ago ...

That sounds odd. Only 5? Didn't you move to exercises particular to your issues? Was there no feedback pertaining to actual performance?...

I had a problem with s'es for a long time. It comes and goes - as is usual with stutter - but it seems to have diminshed a lot lately. Did you ever try working with a speech therapist to get a better...

I have to agree with how true this is. I've been to a few conferences and the "most therapists don't understand stuttering" is a common theme, unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I'm studying s...

It’s was broader in a way. It targeted more of my reactions and perceptions about myself and my stuttering. It taught me that there are aspects with my stuttering that i can control and aspects that i...

I feel ya. My speech therapy in elementary school was horrible. How it didn’t count as child abuse I’ll never know. I had good therapy later with someone who actually understands stuttering, but the r...

Anyone tried MPI (Modifying Phonation Intervals)? Hi. There are some papers documenting good results using MPI,has anyone here tried MPI? I would like to give it a go, but I don't reside in the US and...

The therapy sessions were how to cope with blocks, reading out loud, repetition with reading out loud, and how I feel about my stammer. It was okay, but I felt like I had more work to do, you know? ...
