I love ordering online! The internet has made my life so much easier. Especially, as a parent. Ordering for 3 people, while stuttering the entire time, is torturous. I still have to do it sometimes, b...

Pull out method

Pull out method Does anyone have experience with the pull-out method? My therapist says this is a key factor for me to have fluent conversations. How good can you actually get at this? Because to me, ...

WOW! I’m so happy for your progress. You’ve given me hope and a push to try therapy. I live in a city where there is a major teaching hospital. I’ll call them because of your success....

Confidence in what? Wherever you're lacking confidence, improve in that area. If you're talking about your disfluency, then do some work there. (Easier said than done, for certain.) IDK you, so I h...

At 77f I’m still searching for that pot of gold. I never had speech therapy but have had psychotherapy which revealed the probable psychological cause, childhood abuse preventing verbally expressing m...

Yeah I agree. I don’t think it’s something you can ever fully stop, but you can manage it to a high degree with speech therapy or acceptance...

Speech therapy for psychogenic stutter?

Speech therapy for psychogenic stutter? Hi! Has anyone tried speech therapy for stutter which appears only while speaking with particular people? I tried one free session in the past and it was all ab...

I went to speech therapy earlier in the year as well. My stutter still fluctuates but I've learnt to accept my stutter even though I still can't stutter openly in front of others. Saying sounds like...

I think you should find one as soon as possible, because I don't think people over here have much expertise about it...

It is called a speech block. There's no cure, try taking meds, they help until ur body get used to them...

Any speech change that starts in adulthood needs investigating by a doctor; that should be your first port of call. Source - I'm a speech therapist...

I have the same speech blocks which came back after 15 years after my childhood stutter. Recently I have tried hypnotherapy and acupuncture which I believe helped me to reduce my stutter with 30%. Def...

So if everything is normal from a neurological and genetic point of view, it could be purely psychological (but I strongly doubt it), or due to dyspraxia, autism or other neurodivergence (but then I i...

She’s still struggling with it, but she’s only 3. I will say she has improved some on her own as she’s gotta more articulate and doesn’t get really hard blocks anymore. Not for sure on how old befor...

I'm a person who stutters and an SLP who specializes in stuttering. I also have a 4 year old who stutters. The first and most important thing I'd say is to stay away from Lidcombe! Not all kids respon...

Hi, I'm a speech-language pathologist. I don't post here often, but I couldn't resist your case! It is very easy to tell the difference between developmental and disordered stuttering. If your done is...

If you have access to speech therapy, that would be my recommendation. Try to find one with lots of experience working with stuttering -...

Yeah, I think we agree there too. My last sentence comes from my perspective, having my first speech therapist at around 26 years old. At that point I only had psychotherapy, and although it helped a ...

Hard to say. You can tell her to talk to kids more and get out there, but it’s really up to her whether she wants to do that or not. It may just take time. May take one friend to befriend her to boost...
