Unless your new SLP had actual, extra training in dysfluency, they are unlikely to help, and could worsen your hard silent fear-based blocks. Strongly suggest looking at what trained SLP’s say to do...

The only way therapy is a waste of time or money is if you don't give it your best effort. Don't worry about the outcome. Do the work. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. I had spe...

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a psychotherapy, in which stutterers learn to accept their unhelpful thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. ACT is popular fo...

They do address it to some degree but it’s more like an afterthought. At the end of the day, places like the one I went to need funding to continue doing research and pay the salaries of the researche...

Hi! I'll just paste what I answered another parent a while back :) Our son started to stutter when he was 2.5 years old. We felt the choice of program (Lidcombe etc..) was very important, and befo...

My experience with speech therapy in Sydney was disappointing. My stutter is very severe around people but when I am alone or when i am talking to AI like chatgpt call i am 100% fluent mine was sel...

Hi js! I do not think practicing your speech and finding new ways to approach your stutter is obsessive. It is a condition that we carry every day of our lives so it makes sense to give it attention. ...

So tough! I know the Stuttering Foundation have a list of speech therapist that knows how to handle stuttering, I am wondering if there is maybe the same for psychologist...

This post is for severe stutterers not mild stutterers that speak well most of the time. Don't accept it. Go to speech therapy, go to a program , try something , practise by yourself etc. I didnt ...

hi! sorry to bother you, I know I'm replying to an old comment. But as a speech therapist, could you share some tips on what to do to overcome/reduce stuttering? Have you overcome your own stutter? Wh...

Yes so I have bipolar disorder and some medication I’m on (lamotrigine) cause issues with word recall, but I’ve always had those issues sonce I was 5 or 6 so the meds just made it worse. We’ve been do...

All of those. The speech therapist taught me some strategies like pausing and chunking and after some practice & the words I had issues with (b’s & d’s) became easier for me to say....

I really think the comparison here is flawed. Speech is complex. IMO, much more complex than what PRIME does. Movement is largely an output. It's simple compared to speech. As is eyesight. It's an i...

Additionally, speech therapists, mindfulness specialists, NLP-, CBT-, ACT- and other modalities - they all have their own set of clinical interventions to address "forgetting stuttering". Such as, ad...

You already have the answer in your question. >He doesn't want to practice his exercises at home.  > This was me. Speech therapy at that age through 16 when I finally stopped going. "Because it wa...
