Speech therapy is for all ages, really. It's not a kids thing. Maybe you can find someone anyway? "Deal with", as indicated above, could mean a bunch of things, depending on how you want to go about ...

You're right, I meant conscious mind instead of subconscious. My mistake. However, I still stand by everything I've said. Taking the time to practice what I've mentioned will dramatically improve your...

I think I'd prefer the term "deal with". It's less passive - "accept" sounds like just sitting back and not doing anything. I mean, as a _premise_, sure, we _have_ to accept that we stutter. But that'...

> They've settled. Well, they would disagree with you.... I just think we have to be very careful about telling other people that they're not living in the right way. There is never just one wa...

You make valid points. I'm enjoying this discussion. To elaborate on what I previously mentioned about your speech improving as an indirect result when you improve your quality of life. Increasing yo...

Yes that's what I'm saying! Why not try and figure it out?? You say "when you're excited, having a good time", who are you around at those times? What are you feeling and thinking? And when you say "i...

Do you stutter when you speak to someone on a webcam? Do you stutter when you're alone on cam and you can see yourself speak? Maybe record yourself when you're alone and talk to yourself and observe w...

Yeah for the most part, we have the opposite problem: unable to say anything to anyone, while being completely fluent on our own. I struggle in conversations because I perceive language and communica...

How to not focus on stutterering as much?

How to not focus on stutterering as much? I focus too much on it. In fact times when I don't focus on it are when I'm most fluent. I want it to be a secondary thought, not something that occupies m...
