He didn’t really ask for therapy but has been saying he hates his speech and voice for a year now. He still talks a lot, even in public, and has a lot of friends, and I don’t want him to get to the p...

Look into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Avoidance Reduction Therapy. SLPs who are a board certified fluency specialist will be familiar with these. Also join a support group! The Nati...

It sounds like you have done a lot of proactive work on this. How much is it bothering him? Is he the one pushing to go to therapy? Have you ever come across the Lidcombe Program? It’s typically used...

One more thing- his articulation is also poor and his most stuttered sounds are the ones he has the most trouble saying properly. We've been wondering if we should also be seeing an oral motor artic ...

I'm a 17 year old stutterer and I'm gonna try to give you some tips - the worst thing you can do to him as a parent is to expect fluency. Stuttering isn't a disorder by any means but it certainly isn'...

Hi and thank you for uplifting words! I don't struggle with finding sexual partners ocassionally but never really had the patience or desire to build healthy relationship. That's why I blame porn it ...

First off don’t be ashamed of your sexuality. You love porn so indulge as long as you aren’t hurting anyone and no one in the video is being hurt. Stuttering gets easier when you just accept it. I w...

I think you're taking about desensitization. If you're paying for individual therapy, they should be helping you with just the situations you mention. You can have therapy anywhere. In therapy, you...

I've come to think that speech therapists should really be paired with psychologists when addressing many clients, or be trained extensively in both fields themselves. Addressing the mechanical withou...

Well I’m in year 11 at the moment and that has helped. I used to see a speech therapist but she left and i didn’t want to go back. I need to find the people I can be myself with ...

I've been meditating periodically for a few years, and it definitely helps. I just have a hard time of maintaining the habit. My speech pathologist introduced it to me. Both with a focus on my breath...

I fully accept my stammer and have never let it stop me doing things. I’m at university and have a full time job during my summer just now. I have stuttered my way through introductions, job interview...
