Why us?

Why us? I always blamed my physically abusive father for my stutter… I had speech therapy for years and now I can speak fluently around 80% of the time. Now my son has reached 5 years old and he has ...

This is the dumbest psychoanalytic bullshit I have ever read about stuttering. That’s like saying dyslexia or ADHD are developed for the same reason. Miss me with all this bullshit and stop trying to ...

Yes, please let me know how it helps. I feel like I need to work on the dissociation that occurs if I want to have a chance at even attempting to say my name....

I’m currently going to trauma based therapy so I’ll let you know if it helps :) I start Monday , they use emdr techniques and cbt as well. I totally relate with the out of body experience and it suc...

Stuttering has a Purpose

Stuttering has a Purpose There has to be a reason. It has to fulfill some kind of need or provide some benefit. To our mind it serves a purpose and that is why we started blocking. Probably around chi...

The question “what’s your name?”

The question “what’s your name?” After some incidents of being unable to say my name (in the form of a block) when someone asks, “what’s your name” (or it’s variations), the question is now a trigger ...

>● When did you first realize you stuttered? It became a problem age 6 or 7. >● Did you receive speech therapy? If so, what did your speech therapist address? ex: (strategies, anxiety, etc.? Can't ...

Also I think some of this is my own bias showing, since I don't have a specific event to pinpoint why/when I began stuttering, so it's hard for me to wrap my head around. Sorry about that...

I don't think it's an outlandish theory, just that you can't really say definitively if you didn't even know the truth of the story until recently...

I don't have a traumatic event associated with stuttering, but it does run in my family...
