I did before, she recommended I record what physically happens when I block. She hadn't heard of valsalva when I mentioned it. She gave me a list of different sounds I could practice but I don't think...

Sounds like you could do well with talking to some top SLPs. I think this may be above my paygrade....

Well, I certainly agree with you -- it doesn't matter what you do with your breathing. You already know how to breathe, working on breathing will not change your stuttering frequency or severity. Soun...

the techniques don't help me to speak the words I wish to say. Nor does the "feeling" go. If I can't say a sentence then I can't say it no matter what I do with my breathing etc. Well if I can talk ...

Without starting into diagnosing over the internet, what you're describing sounds like cluttering, which is sort of related to stuttering. An evaluation by an SLP should help you determine what's goin...

The first two bullets sound odd and dont really characterize stuttering. You can try asking over in r/slp. But I would recommend seeing an actual speech language pathologist. they'll be able to diagno...

Agreed, this by no means cures stuttering. I'm also aware that my current improved speech will not sustain. However, if this opens my mind to other areas of self improvement then I'm a happy man. For ...

Why are you visiting a family practice doctor for this? If you should be talking to anyone, it should be a qualified SLP who actually understands the problem (warning: a lot dont). And if you want ...

i tried doing the same after an appointment with my doctor and asked if i could get anxiety medication, he told me that i should get therapy first and that medication can have some bad side effects. i...

A speech language pathologist. Depending where you are, there might be one with expertise on treating the secondary effects you are experiencing...

Man I really wish you were at the NSA conference or I could find the video from the close ceremony. There was a father who was there for the first time and he got up at the end and went up to the podi...

I would definitely work with an SLP but you need to make sure you're working with one who actually understands the issue. I would avoid SLPs who largely advocate operant or fluency centered methods of...

I'd suggest trying rap. Let him do karaoke rap. But of course there is a lot of garbage lyrics out there. Should choose wisely. Also, I'd suggest nootropics, but that's a topic that requires some fur...

I have heard that if caught early, stuttering can be cured. Find a therapist you like and do what they say. Other than that, just be patient with your child. ...

Hello, stuttering speech therapist here :) Stuttering can be scary. I'll start with some general information about stuttering. About 5% of preschool children will stutter at some point in their live...

It's called BOMA de Paauw, a Dutch stuttering program. I'm hopeful this might have lasting improvements for my speech. Althought I had the same expectations for McGuire but sadly that wasn't for me. ...

It's one of my future ambitions. I always wanted to be a judge. For that you need at least four years of experience as a lawyer. Before doing that I want to somehow get more control of my speech. In a...

I live far away but might be interested in answering questions that you have. I have never been a part of any web based stuttering forum or subreddit before, this is literally the first time I've made...

I understand what your saying. I have a mild stutter too. I understand not wanting to talk to people. Ive found its good for remediating communication to put yourself out there and you have to do thin...

I remember when I was in a group of people who stuttered, we were maybe ten years old, and one of us asked one of the counsellors if the stuttering would ever stop by age, she only gave us this sadden...
