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 is still an enigma. There are as many causes as there are, members of our little club. I even think we each stutter a little differently. It’s like we aren’t worth the effort of research. W...

Yeah, and it's not as unusual as you may think. Stuttering is most likely a neurological condition and it makes sense that brain chemistry altering drugs like anaesthesia would affect it....

I briefly tried medical marijuana for my anxiety, which spiked to a new high during COVID. I sampled different strains and dosages to see what might help. All of them increased my anxiety and made my ...

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...

No, when we r alone our brain uses a different hemisfery to speak than when we r not I read something like that...

Hmm, I don't think its possible to separate for me cause I don't have a neurological stutter. I stutter because I doubt that I won't be able to speak. The physiological body symptoms are caused by def...

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...

i didnt understand your question, i hope it's possible to reconstruct our brain circuits by preventing freezes and learning other ways to speak...

Has anyone else who's been under general anaesthesia had the experience of complete fluency in the 10-15 minutes after awaking from it?

Has anyone else who's been under general anaesthesia had the experience of complete fluency in the 10-15 minutes after awaking from it? I had a procedure done a few weeks ago for which I was put under...

Not necessarily. Imagine something like this. Let's say you can walk without falling down if you're not wearing a backpack. But if you have to carry a ten kilogram backpack or a bag suddenly you reali...

I want to ask this reddit community to post about: triggers that affect our neurology (such as, triggers influencing physiological symptom expression that result in loss of speech motor function aka freezing)

I cannot agree with you and there is wide consensus among people who stutter and professionals and researchers in the field that this is not so. Stuttering is caused by an interplay of various factors...

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...

Everyday I’m learning more and it boils down to one thing

Everyday I’m learning more and it boils down to one thing As someone who had developed a stutter from childhood, here are my take aways . I remember vividly as clear as yesterday that when I was talk...

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...

Yes, it is extremely interesting. I find it concerning that it is possible that brain/neurological differences in people who stutter might be the result of stuttering and not it's cause. Because in my...
