What state do you live in? Unfortunately licensed SLPs are only allowed to provide consults other than the state they’re licensed in, but I’m happy to try and provide some information here as it migh...

Stuttering and hormones/PMS

Stuttering and hormones/PMS I’m 24F and I grew up with a SEVERE stutter. It was present from the time I started speaking and was exacerbated by trauma in early childhood, made worse by bullying in sch...

Fuck this, man

Fuck this, man I'm going to vent about something that happened like 2 hours ago. So, today I had to do a presentation (it's like 80% of this class grade), it was in groups, so before presenting I tol...

I had a teacher try to explain to me why I stutter and kept insisting it was aphaxia. No matter how hard I explained that it wasn't at all that she wouldn't hear it. Later she marked down my participa...

I agree with everything you said! I think that neurological (in developmental stuttering) mainly refers to inhibition, compensation (reorganisation of function to the right hemisphere), and error resp...

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and helpful reply. Is it still common for young children to experience periods of disfluency even well after their major burst of language acquisition? I realize ...

The question I posed is basically asking if we have ever seriously taken the time to separate the freeze-effect (when we block). If we attempt to send motor signals (in order to move the speech muscle...

I'll try to explain it better. If we have a fear of heights and we walk high on the mountains. When we might encounter defeatism-triggers, such as focusing on negative past experiences or anticipation...

Have you REALLY tried hard to separate the freeze effect in stuttering?

Have you REALLY tried hard to separate the freeze effect in stuttering? To make the question clearer.. **I don't mean** speech therapy or reducing (social) anxiety **I don't mean** stuttering (becaus...

If someone has PTSD that gets triggered when they hear loud noises, is their PTSD pretty much just not liking loud noises?...

I started having blocks when my father called the way I speak as 'arrogant' one evening when I was 12 or 13. Since then I have had speech blocks and especially when stressed. Don't know if it's rare b...

In my past, my friends forced me to believe that I am a stutterer even though I wasn't and I spoke properly but due to my innocence, I believed them and that created a phobia in my mind that I stutter...

I completely understand what you're going through. I am a college student with the same problem. I also used to think the same way as you. I used to think that I stutter only when I think too much abo...

Yeah, My mom and dad sometimes scolded me for not talking properly and also didn't take me to a speech therapist but I kind of practice my best to speak properly by myself but I still sometimes stutte...

I stutter, I have trauma as a result of it, I’ve learned to live with it and accept it, and do my life with it, to include helping my daughter with her stutter, which is incredibly frustrating as I fe...

All comes down to how you are able to manage it. I was born with a stutter and the early years through high school were horrific. A lot of stutter’s deal with ptsd from their childhood that impacts th...

>*"This hypothesis is not proved beyond doubt as far as I understand."* Yes, I agree with everything you said! >*"This is because one of the most frustrating and painful aspects of stuttering, is th...

It's not really that simple. If you go through research and the experiences of people who stutter, you find that the severity of the stutter does not necessarily decide the kind of impact it has on a ...

Yes, certainly. I learned kindness, compassion, courage, strength, humility and wisdom from it. But like another person commented, even I wonder 'at what cost?'. Because I often think that the trauma ...

Certainly. I never said that my preference for one explanation implies that I would deny objective data. Intellectually, I am fully committed to the truth. At the same time, this hypothesis is not pro...
