If a speech therapist was measured only on their ability to ”cure a stutter” the profession would no longer exist. If it works the way you believe it works, all good, but I think you may be setting yo...

i've been to speech therapy multipe times and nothing seemed to work out for me so now i just deal with it... but thank you...

As a speech therapist myself I do applaud you for saying this!! It’s frustrating to be known as “fixer” for stuttering when we really aren’t fixing anything since there are so many other external fact...

They do sometimes but not when you really need them. They also make talking artificial and devoid of any joy or spontaneous expression ...

Speech therapists also tell you that tapping, like any strategy (this one included) will lose its efficiency over time when you get used to it. Keep that in mind for when you get frustrated that your ...

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that the therapy program didn't help your speech and even made it worse. I appreciate your honesty about your experience. Meeting others who stuttered from across the US sounds...

Hey, I went to this therapy program in the Summer of 22. The techniques taught there did not help my speech and only made my speech more robotic. In fact, my speech actually got worse after completing...

One thing I can say from experience is don't drop people when they aren't improving. Being dropped from speech therapy when you still need it is a one-way path to becoming lonely and being known as th...

I have a severe stutter and spent almost 15 years in therapy. My stutter was worse when I finally left therapy than when I started. The techniques and tricks of traditional therapy don't work because ...

If you don't feel benefit from your therapist find a new one. It's unfortunately quite difficult to find an SLP who understands stuttering and even harder to find one who knows how to help. But if you...

I love how you do so much comprehensive research into stuttering. I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so. I'd happily read the abstract and conclusion sections of a report and maybe scan...
