Thank you again, Obvious. Giving hope to stutterers about Dr. Maguire’s research is very important. I was given an atypical antipsychotic, Abilify, and with psychotherapy, my stuttering ended. I'll ne...

You're better off making a post asking about it. I have a few minutes of experience with DAF. My speech pathologist used it as a tool to demonstrate my ability to be fluent. Not as a tool to achieve ...

My knowledge of DAF is VERY dated and limited... But it was my understanding that it was never intended for long term use. My doctor showed me I could be fluent using a DAF device. That was the on...

My parents used to try and make me practice with them every night and I have to say that for a while it worked. And then I got bored of it so I'd stop trying and it would just get repetitive. So inste...

My experience is identical to yours, so speech therapy never had a chance to work. I had good parents but we didn't talk much about stuttering, and I was ashamed of it....

I am 38 years old, a father and married. And I have to tell you that it can go in any direction. I know people my age who stutter more than they ever have in their lives and are under a lot of stress ...

Stuttering is so individualized and there is no cookie cutter solution. Do your due diligence and find what works for you. You may try several different modalities, treatments, etc.... but at the...

Rethinking stuttering

Rethinking stuttering Hi, I'm relatively new to this subreddit and I've been reading your posts for sometime now. I would like to share my thoughts on feeling shame and guilt when stuttering, and real...

Have you ever tried regular therapy? I had one session of speech therapy when I was 8 years old and I hated it. I'm 38 now and I speak fluently 99% of the time. I stumble with some sounds but I don't...

Just thought I'd say, even if you could afford speech therapy, it doesn't mean you would've overcame your stutter. I was in therapy almost my entire life (23M) and I still stutter pretty bad, although...

I wouldn't say I've "beat" it, and it doesn't seem to me that a stutter that persists past adolescence can ever go away. (There's one study where some people in their early twenties reported that it w...

Also want to share my comments here for timestamps to look out for where I clarify just a few things in the comments: At around 21:30 minutes in I mention how it might not work for the hardest times ...

I started doing 15 min meditations a few times daily. I focus on slow and controlled breathing and try to loosen all parts of the body, sometimes even i try to voluntarily loosen my rectum muscles. It...

My review of all of these intensive fluency shaping programs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/t2qlje/comment/hyob4u7/ They didn't even have an SLP on staff until a few years ago, when they ...

I worked with a guy for 2 years and we never mentioned it! only after I went on a stuttering course did I tell him about my stutter and said I think he also has one and told him about the course. ab...

They will tell the common breathing exercises, blow bubbles in a glass of water, blow pieces of paper ,make you talk very slowly. You will be getting better and talk like an ordinary person for next m...

What works for one, doesn't necessarily work for others. I suggest that you try an individualized approach. Additionally, I follow a rule of thumb that encourages attacking the speech disorder from mu...

Linked to an older post in which I describe my experiences in the comments. I reply in several different comments. Make sure you read all of my comments in the thread, as I get into the thick of it f...

Speech therapy and a dedication to doing the work. Practice every day. And... Not all speech therapy is the same. I read horror stories here about (IMO) unqualified therapists and the hell they put t...

Thank you for your interest! Actually, the purpose of my study is to understand more about trait mindfulness in people who stutter since it's an understudied area overall, not just in people who stutt...
