Thank you so much for this awesome advice. I will wait for the original wind to blow over, then go back and edit it if I decide to push it on to a different site of my own because you offer some excel...

I think you have some really great advice here. But I think you need something else. First I think you need to spell out who your audience is -- parents of children who are just starting to stutter or...

I'll come at you from the son's perspective a bit. Granted I don't remember having a stutter till around 10, but my family more than friends, classmates or strangers were the ones that gave me the m...

I agree with u/ShutupPussy. Meditation, Prayer, Introspection, Yoga... Any of these things can provide a good base for you to build upon. It sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders, so ba...

That's exactly what he needs. He should know stuttering is ok. It's just something he does, it doesnt define him. It'll only limit him if he lets it. Get him a diagnosis and if it looks like it's deve...

Hello, Stuttering speech therapist here. You're noticing some of the hallmark features of stuttering--it's variable (both day to day and between situations), stuttering onset begins after speech deve...

I have problems with anxiety too, and I'm just now making my first effort to address it - I recently started therapy. I agree, anxiety does not cause my stutter but it does make it worse. Amazingly, I...

I started stuttering around age eight (don't really remember because it didn't bother me as much as a kid). It is also genetic for me, as I have an uncle that stutters and I'm pretty sure my dad himse...

That's a very interesting post Blaat1985. I'd especially like to know how psychotherapy goes for you. I've had very limited exposure to speech therapy. Spent the first eight years of my life in a lit...

Yeah, at least in our stuttering behaviors. I dont know what kind of therapy you've had or how much youve read but check out avoidance reduction. Our blocking is us holding back, not allowing ourselve...

Through speech therapy in elementary I learned how to control it under most circumstances. I still have issues sometimes, but I try to hide it as best as possible. Most of my friends and coworkers hav...

I can't find any information on this program anywhere else. If it's so effective, people would be talking about it. There are a lot of BS programs like this online and this is probably a scam too. Any...

Even the most severe stutterer is often totally fluent when he talks to himselfs or reads in unison with someone. That doesn't have to mean you experience a mental block when talking to others. A more...

Not sure. I only saw individual private therapists and went to speech therapy through middle school with a few other kids but we never really bonded over it or anything. I guess I didnt know support c...

I've been reading and practice in the techniques found in [Self Therapy for the Stutterer](http://www.amazon.com/Self-Therapy-Stutterer-Malcolm-Fraser/dp/0933388454) by Malcom Fraiser. I went to sp...

Well, I guess I should respond as well. My name is Ryan and I am 21 years old. Although it's such a simple name, it is a pain for me to say. I can never get past the "y" with ease. I have stuttered si...

I've had two jobs so far (I worked at a baseball park last summer and I worked at Wal-mart in the Fall and Winter), but I'm currently not working because I moved recently. As far as college goes, I pl...

I would ask before you travel. Im not that up to date on UK stammering therapy but I do remember hearing about good therapists. Those that only try to treat repitions or whatever other stammer behavio...

I think it's because speech therapists are mainly focused on helping those with repetitions. I agree with you in that there are many who don't understand. I'm from the UK about 50 miles from London so...

yeah repeating words doesnt sound helpful. I would see someone else. One thing I realized going to all the NSA conferences and speaking with so many people, is there are a LOt fo speech therapists who...
