Did speech therapy in elementary school when my stutter first started, middle school, high school, and some of college because my mom still wanted me to. Absolute waste of time, all of it. I’m borderl...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your question. If you are referring to the acceptance of Sheehan's iceberg theory.. from my understanding most speech therapists learn about this iceberg in Univ...

I went to speech therapy for a few years. The techniques are basically like a tool you can use, but you have to adjust a lot of things in the way you speak for it to work....

Yeah my favorite part was meeting other people who stutter. It’s crazy that you’re experiencing that too, I’ve been feeling less fluent because of how much attention I have to pay to executing the tar...

>but instead wanted me to accept my stuttering and stop overthinking it This is basically what my current therapist does, but she's not a speech therapist...

I went there in the summer of 2022, so it was probably right after your group. The funny thing is was I became less fluent after the program than when I started. Trust me, I took it seriously and prac...

One year ago, I would've said yes. But last year I found an amazing speech therapist who goes deeper than just superficial exercises. We go more into where it comes from and what I can do about it. Fo...

I tried speech therapy in middle school, but didn't really receive any constructive help, so I felt that it was a waste of time and stopped. When I was 20 I tried again, and got a fantastic speech th...

Hollins communications research institute (HCRI)

Hollins communications research institute (HCRI) Hi everybody, my name is Max and I attended Hollins back in March of 2022. It has been the most useful speech therapy I’ve had in my life and I wish it...

I tried speech therapy, didn't work, seemed designed for toddlers, never offered any new solutions when the first line failed. just an hour of easy onset and rhythm practice every week. not helpful at...

Yessir, did speech therapy the majority of my childhood and found it was a complete waste of my time (not shitting on anyone who does it! If it works for others that’s awesome!) I’m much happier just ...

Is anyone else completely uninterested in speech therapy?

Is anyone else completely uninterested in speech therapy? I've tried it in the past and I've found it to be unhelpful. It just gives me more to think about when I'm trying to talk, which makes me more...

My life is not exactly normal but I enjoy it. My twenties were tricky but I did manage to complete university, get a degree and then a masters a few years after that. None of which helped me get a job...

Hmm, there’s actually an app I found helpful that’s called BeneTalk. Might be worth looking on the AppStore, but I’m not sure it’s available outside of the UK. It basically runs through a lot of speec...

I was in a similar situation except the therapist cut me out of meetings as she saw that my severe stutter wasn’t getting any better so she said “it made us looks bad that there’s no improvement”. I w...

Talking fatigue?

Talking fatigue? I was recently speaking with somebody with hearing loss who suffers from listening fatigue where they feel tired after spending an extended period of time in noisy environments or try...

Career in Speech Therapy

Career in Speech Therapy Hey guys. I’m currently in uni studying psychology and I’ve been thinking about what I wanna do in the future a lot lately. I do have a stutter so obviously being a CBT therap...

Yes, I think I'll try to find another one. It might just be trial and error until I find a good one. Thanks!...

It's not what you should be doing and that SLP didn't understand stuttering. But most don't. You're right though that our stuttering usually sounds worse to us than others and all the extra things we...

Try to find a new speech therapist. Mine told me the unique voices, movements, and other things we try to reduce or eliminate the stutter are often more distracting and detrimental than the actual stu...
