Right here. Severe stutter from early childhood until my mid 20s. Returned to speech therapy and achieved fluency. Been fluent since the 90s....

I think that we stutterers learned to have no desire to forget that we stutter - especially during difficult speaking situations. The thing about forgetting is.. the more we tell ourselves to forget ...

>I’m simply repeating the general consensus of the SLP community regarding adult stuttering Has that general consensus help anyone? I know it's there for a reason, but if someone thinks his stutter i...

I'm an SLP and I want to validate you... this is so typical with stuttering- it changes! Also - that cycle of anxiety that you so eloquently described "feeds" the stuttering. Don't look at it as regr...

My husband stutters and so did his paternal grandma. Our son was stuttering but has been in speech therapy for a few years and it seems pretty much resolved. Interestingly, we recently found an old ...

Please hold on. We stutterers all go through these very low and seemingly impossible times. I know that in my case medication and therapy allowed me to survive, and even cope. Reach out to our group. ...

Me and my brothers inherited stuttering from my father. He overcame it in his low or mid-twenties I have mild stuttering; some days I talk decent, some days I stutter a lot. My autistic younger broth...

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy Just had my first psychotherapy session and I stuttered hard through it. And my therapist didn’t even know what stuttering was; as in being a speech impediment....

"Techniques.." I cringe when I hear that word in this sub. Many of us use the same techniques. I was taught easy onset and light contact as some of the fundamentals. Breathing. Starting your breath b...

When I started going to therapy, this was exactly my question when I was creating my goals. Should I move forward in managing it or should I move forward in somehow slowly recovering from it? I based ...

I sought therapy back in 2015 and it really helped. Then I thought I was over it, until I had a very bad episode in front of all my colleagues in 2023. Now I'm trying to get back on track and working ...

It's absolutely crazy I'm still in shock. When my friend told me I thought he heard wrong or something like that but now I see it's true! The thing is, one of the guys that comes to our support grou...

I am also a former SLP student in the US. One of my profs had a stutter and taught our fluency course which I found extremely helpful in truly understanding how a stutter works/how it affects someone’...

As an early childhood mental health professional, and a person who stutters (but has it managed now), please ignore it. Model speaking clearly and enunciating, while remaining interesting. Keep reg...

Hi! I’ve noticed that it really depends on the country. I come from the EU (Central European part) and in my country you need to take a so called “communication exam” before being able to enroll in ...

With all due respect this is not much therapy at all. An intensive course where you would expect to see a difference would typically be 1-2 weeks full time with homework and a follow up after 4-8 week...

I think I'm starting to realize that speech therapy is ongoing or maybe even life-long. And as another redditor mentioned, there's a ton of approaches. My recommendation is to keep trying different ty...

May I ask you about your speech therapy? One thing I've learned here is there are many different approaches. How long were you in speech therapy? How frequently did you attend? How much time did yo...

Yeah your pathologist is NOT helping at all, it is not helpful to be reminded that you are 1% of the worlds population and the word being unserious when experiencing people like us...

Mirror neuron therapy. I haven’t heard of that but i do have less stuttering when i connect with others. So, the idea is that you talk to yourself in a mirror to align your own mirror neurons…?...
