Good point. I use that term "rightly" because for so long our field treated stuttering as something to "fix" with fluency shaping tools that worked in the clinic but failed. For so long we treated the...

This reasoning falls under the assumption that stuttering is just a bad habit, and there is no evidence to suggest that at all....

Hey everyone, I’ve been diving deep into stuttering treatment lately, and I want to share my thoughts on Dr. Fluency USA—it’s been a game-changer for so many! Their approach uses cutting-edge tech, li...

I see. but what does depersonified or repersonified mean? do you mean, when we use peripheral vision especially in the corner of our eyes that feels threating, our personality (relies on external vali...

Well yes, but this is only applicable to stutterers who’re depersonifing… Repersonified/personified stutterers don’t have to go through this....

I think if we all, brainstorm long enough. We could draw a very extended detailed vicious circle of "fluency breakdown". I'm sure that stimuli such as fear or anticipation could be inside one of the c...

Why is it "right" that the "field" is emphasizing acceptance, openness and identity? How is that aligned with what people who stutter want? Short answer, it isn't. In fact, it's a complete disregard f...

There’s a robust body of neuroimaging research investigating the neural mechanisms of speech-motor control, particularly the role of sensorimotor rhythms. Many studies have identified differences in o...

>*Also imo, the term “stuttering” itself may be part of the problem. It only describes the symptom, not the cause. What we call “stuttering” is actually a broad range of neurological delays and mismat...

The reality is that only a select few researchers are really getting to the heart of what's going on in the brain in stuttering. Most of the stuttering world is confusing stuttering as a speech disord...

Research on how to increase brain power instead of speech mechanics only.

Research on how to increase brain power instead of speech mechanics only. As someone who stutters and has spent time deeply reflecting on it, I’ve come to a different perspective. Most treatments toda...

**This is simply my own experience.** My tips for stutter therapists who treat stuttering. My tips: They should not focus on stuttering, rather on the "thing" that leads to the manifestation we con...

Haha lots of people in the comments disagreeing with a guy who doesn’t stutter anymore 🤷‍♂️. I’m not trying to sell you anything - if you’re coming here to argue about science you can do that I guess...

I would think that John Harrison is as equipped to talk about stuttering as anyone, right? He stuttered his whole life and then found a way not to haha. It’s like these people want to keep stuttering ...

I think there's some decent advice here, but it's really about the framing. It benefits no one to just ignore all the science because it's easier to pretend that it's just your personality. I have b...

ignored it as soon as I read "stuttering isn't a neurological disorder" without any counterevidence to the many studies showing that people with stutters have different brain activation patterns...

Well, there's still a lot of scientific literature about this, and a lot of neurological differences found in the brains of pws. So of course there's a psychological component to stuttering (as anxiet...
