I was too young to realize it at first, but once I hit about 17 I started noticing that I wasn't getting any benefit out of treatment. Tried to pass that along to the therapist, didn't get any positiv...

A shame you stayed in that place for so long. Or at least, you should've made them change their focus or something. Not sure how "malleable" their therapy could be, of course. Have you "browsed" othe...

So, as an update to the original post, I had my first appointment today with the speech pathologist. As a part of the check-in process I had to fill out a list that described what I hoped to achieve ...

I found that I was able to speak fluently in a therapy session, but as soon as I left the building it was like I had never made progress. Stuttering for some is very situational. For me, 10 years of...

>**Speech therapy was a waste of time** as stuttering would sorta just come and go as it pleased. Have you considered trying again? Therapy differs depending on therapist/client relation (and ther...

There will always be days that are harder than others when living with a stutter. I'm sorry that happened to you, presentations are a struggle for us all. If you want some help you should definitely s...

If you live near a university with cs&d they give you reduced rate. I try not to feel bitter, but it's hard. Having a grudge against stuttering is like hating yourself and you shouldnt have yo...

It's well worth the money, speech therapists can be more expensive in the long run, with this, you get a membership for life, and can attend as many courses as you wish all over the world for nothing ...

Yes that's a lot of money, but if consider that it was 6+14+14+14=48 hours of work, thats about 40$ per hour, last time i checked speech therapist charged more. And its success rate is pretty impressi...

I definitely got the same feeling from the school speech therapy I was put in. The majority of our sessions just involved me reading outloud from a book....

Glad to hear you're doing well! I also went to see a speech therapist for a few sessions, the ironic thing was that when I was talking to her, I barely stuttered once. She found it really hard to bel...

You might consider posting this in the r/slp forum as well. ...

Alright, how many times? Therapy has a lot of factors to it, so sometimes the first thing isn't the best. Also, what do you expect from speech therapy?...

A SLP can accurately judge if this person has a stutter. If a local university offers clinical services they are usually cheaper than private practices. ...

This is likely a stutter. Go see a speech therapist for a real diagnosis. ...

You can get off label prescription medication for the mental side of stuttering. And stuttering mentioned/listed in the DSM too......

It is not because he believed that stuttering is a mental disorder, but that the medications that I was asking for to treat stuttering are associated with use for mental disorders. He felt that he did...

Yes, I went to my primary physician asking to be prescribed medication for stuttering and he said that the types of medications I was asking for would be better suited under a psychiatrist. I've hear...

My parents put me through loads of it when I was a small child but all of that was useless. I don't think any of those speech pathologists had a single clue on how to deal with stutter, honestly. A bi...

Is stutter the only reason you're at a psychiatrist? How'd that come about? Usually people end up at a speech therapist. Also, there's no scientific consensus about stuttering yet....
