I had blocks for 3 decades. Doing voluntary repetitions (and eye contact) made my nearly fluent in 3 weeks. I’m a preschool teacher in a large school so I can talk to 50-100 people every day - defin...

I used to feel that it wasn't, and hated how I talked. However, with age, therapy, and desensitizing myself to stuttering, it has become a part of who I truly am. I know that if I didn't stutter, I wo...

I agree!! I spent so many years in speech therapy, which is essentially focusing daily on what is “wrong” with me. In my 20s I finally said F it, this is me, and just started living my life using the ...

Hi, i play D&D and have played so for over a year of so with my group. I am Dm currently and although the stutters have their bad and good days, it is great fun. Im pretty decent at funny accents...

Very interesting! Calming is definitely a big influencer with breaking out of my stutter so nice to see breathing out served more than one purpose....

Actually your technique of breathing out during the block to relax yourself has scientific backing. When we exhale, our parasympathetic nervous system gets activated which calms our nervous system dow...

I read your post in the morning and i started applying it and within few hours i am getting a feel of my block’s being under my control. Thanks a lot, for pushing me this path, I believe i will gain a...

I broke down what the research says about how to get the most out of intensive speech therapy in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/pykg7q/quick_hits_what_the_research_says_about_im...

Sorry that happened to you and i am glad you got better, speaking of universities, there is a university here in Sydney they’ve developed a programme known as camperdown programme made especially for ...

I stutter since i was 7 years old (am 22 now) and you can consider me as an adult i guess. I stuttered like every sentence, had various problems because of it, and now i can speak fluently with every...

My experience was pretty good overall, I loved my speech therapist. We got to bond for abit which was nice. I had to read some short stories, and use the techniques she taught me whenever I started to...

I got bullied when I was 6, and it triggered my stutter. People told me that it would go away, but luckily my parents were looking at it realistically and prepared me for the fact that it might not go...

Don't beat yourself up for not treating it. Odds are, there was nothing to be done. Some people just can't drop the "habit". I was in speech therapy (though not too much) but was unable to shake it....

I personally have not, but I have spoken with several people who have done the intensive, and I have a good friend who does individual therapy with a SLP there. I have heard nothing but good things f...

A speech therapist would: * Provide a safe environment to talk about your experiences with an understanding audience and validate the challenge of stuttering. * Let you know that therapy doesn't cur...

SLPs who specialize in dysfluency and who also stutter strongly disagree with you. Also, with some hard work, it’s possible to start decreasing blocks in the next week....

by far the [McGuire Programme](https://www.mcguireprogramme.com/) has been the only programme that has helped me .I attended speech therapists as a child, as a teenager and as an adult with little las...

And was the fluency permanent (like does her main point is working on the psychological side of stuttering) or just breathing techniques?...

*Feeling* hopeless is very understandable in your situation and if someone suggests otherwise, they are the problem. Notice I said feeling hopeless - I did not say “there is no hope” The good news ...

Try to be positive and keep working with your speech therapy. It really worked for me and I work in a job where I have to speak in meetings and cold call strangers. It gets better the more you get use...
