Good luck in your search. I dont know how it works in Canada, but my experience in US is that it's difficult to find a legit stuttering specialist who accepts insurance. The SLPs that accept insuran...

That's great. I'm really glad you're accessing mental health care for this. I have had a stutter since I was 6 and it was trauma induced as well. Speech therapists hadn't helped me at all, but in the ...

My stuttering is worse than it's ever been and I have tried so much therapy that never lasts....I have tried so much thereapy that never lasts...for the first time in my life my inclination to avoid s...

That sucks you have had crappy therapy. That is not an uncommon experience. Many therapists are ill equipped to treat stuttering; however, there has been a lot of research and training the past 5-ye...

I went to a therapist and received more effective tools in 2 sessions than I did in 10 years of speech therapy. To give you an example, when approaching a situation where I am nervous I may stutter,...

I'm sorry to hear that you're not getting the help you need from your speech therapist. It can be frustrating when the professional you're working with doesn't seem to understand your unique situation...

I feel like I am crazy

I feel like I am crazy A few months ago I finally decided to go to a therapist and today i had my first appointment at a speech therapist. At both of those meetings I almost didn’t stutter, because we...

At no point did I say it was the fault of the client, so I'm not sure if what the downvote is for. My therapist helped me from not being able to string two words together to being able to actually sp...

But the issue is this whole speech therapy is only 8 weeks long... and 5 weeks already passed so I would only have 3 sessions left anyone and Im still too scared to speak so I don't see the point...

You have to look at those uncomfortable exercises as a necessary evil. My old therapist framed it like exercise. We have weak uncoordinated muscles for speaking and the first few weeks of forced exerc...

I experienced a lot of "1 step forward 2 steps backward". Therapy is hard. Even though you didn't have the best experience I hope youre able to get some positives out of it. I hope you can find som...

I haven’t had a speech therapist since I was in high school I’m 26 now. It’s never gonna be comfortable talking in front of new people I definitely understand. Maybe give it another shot?...

The issue is its only an 8 week thing so I don't have months and months... sadly if I did I would continue but sadly I don't...

I think you should continue, as it is all about stepping out of your comfort zone. Few weeks is a very short time to come to the conclusion, usually it takes min few months to see results. It's not ab...

Not really... I'm not the chatty type of person and I hate it when I have to contribute a lot to a conversation and that's what speech and language is about... I was just hoping to get some advice but...

That was hard to read because you're describing what it was like for me. It was at this time though that I went to speech therapy for the second time. I am Australian though, so it was free but if yo...

Yeah it is a life on a hard mode. But if anything else you can at least socialize online. On the other hand if you were born in 1930, that would be ever harded. And there are today many tricks to t...

My mentor Chase is doing an intensive program where he makes you do all kinds of challenges that is designed to change your relationship with your stutter/blocks. The voluntary stutter worked for me, ...

Hi! I think you responded to my comment here once.. as an adult who has undergone many different speech therapies, I'm just now realizing that maybe the best approach really is psychological. I'm dete...
