Speech therapy making a stutter worse?

Speech therapy making a stutter worse? Hey everyone. I’ve had a mild stutter all my life. I recently decided to go to speech therapy as a I thought it couldn’t hurt. What I’ve noticed is that when I t...

I’m 19 also. I’ve gone to two . One was a regular speech therapist and one was a therapy institute that is now shut down because of lack of money . It was called HCRI and they specialized in stutters ...

I would love to read your posts about research. If you will dive deeper in this area someday! I myself think that there are different sites in the brain that can cause stuttering, in other words.. I t...

Techniques typically make the stutter worse, not better, as you are concentrating more on your fluency. This makes you more anxious and stressed, which makes you stutter more, which makes you stressed...

Your therapist is correct in her advice regarding the unhelpful advice of slow down and We still get that advice as adults, as if we couldn't think of that ourselves. Techniques make things worse, not...

I went to speech therapy in summer of 2022. I was let go only after a few weeks because they said I “didn’t need it” when I already explained to them that my speech is better around new people/strange...

Been to speech therapists my entire life, made it slightly better in the short term but didn't help long term. I've found more success on other routes...

Did speech therapy in elementary school when my stutter first started, middle school, high school, and some of college because my mom still wanted me to. Absolute waste of time, all of it. I’m borderl...

I tried speech therapy, didn't work, seemed designed for toddlers, never offered any new solutions when the first line failed. just an hour of easy onset and rhythm practice every week. not helpful at...

Is anyone else completely uninterested in speech therapy?

Is anyone else completely uninterested in speech therapy? I've tried it in the past and I've found it to be unhelpful. It just gives me more to think about when I'm trying to talk, which makes me more...

From my perspective speech therapy is bullshit. It does not help. It reduces for certain time then relapse occure again once in a while. And yes she needs to be more supportive with you...

Thank you for answering. I guess, because the stutter is happening to me, I believe a stutter is the absolute worst thing that can happen and any other alternative (even a "baby voice") is way better....

I personally find his methods actually have the potential to worsen stuttering for a lot of people. That combined with his groups social media presence (being very pushy) makes me believe that he is i...

Sadly, many SLPs have extremely limited training in treating dysfluency disorders. They unintentionally treat stutterers as if they have articulation disorders. There’s a ton of clinical and anecdot...

Speech therapy seems hopeless

Speech therapy seems hopeless Im 20 years old. I go to speech therapy once a week, and we always do the same exercises. It just feels old. I’ve noticed some improved fluency but not a lot. It also see...

Even if it wasn't a typical scam, you should know that all stutterers know all the techniques from a to z. Does it help them? NO. Do regular speech therapists help them? NO. Moreover, stuttering is no...

Nope. I’ve been going to speech therapy all my school life because I was forced to. Once a week. I dreaded it. It just gave me anxiety and low self-esteem by them forcing me to talk and hear myself st...

Speech therapy with the goal of fluency shows your therapist fundamentally does not understand stuttering. You've been paying someone for 9 months of services without improvement. If you're not happy ...

I’m a stuttering specialist SLP just fyi…. All the resources you find online are individual stories, experiences, or tricks that work for that person. If you and that person are in the same boat str...
