Sure. But pardon me if I misunderstand what you are asking, do you mean what cognitive therapy I am using myself? I said in my post that they are 'Desensitization', 'Stuttering modification' and 'Exp...

These are the steps: 1. Acceptance: we should accept that we have stutter. This means that you should be Completely OKAY with you stuttering anywhere. You must take no grief or anything about it. Jus...

If you’re meeting someone for the first time, I would recommend introducing yourself and saying that you are a person who stutters. Then continue on with the conversation. I know it’s an individual pr...

Speech therapist here! Research shows that if you tell people right off the bat that you have a stutter, they’re more likely to be accepting of your speech. I hope that this helps! I don’t stutter mys...

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to read it and see what’s all about. I never got to read much about fluency when I was in school. You usually focus on an area when you are doing graduate s...

We know that there is a need of mental support for people like us, especially those that did not receive any help as children and we grew up we some habits that affect us now, but you cannot say that ...

>My SLP told me that speech therapy for fluency is only effective in young children, and that it wouldn't work for an adult. That doesn't sound true. What's most important is the willingness to pu...

Nono dw it was just a one timer. When I am very anxious and can't control my emotions. Then I'd resort to xanax prescribed to me by a doctor. Only use that in serious situations where my speech is at ...

Since you're in Australia, see if Curtin University offers teletherapy (I'm sure they do). They have excellent holistic programs that address the fear and the physical aspects. Janet Beilby leads the ...

I’m glad that you got what you needed and it is working for you. I said that bc most PWS are quite fluent in private. Many of us even become (infuriating) fluent when talking to our SLPs. I started...

Eventually you need to apply your fluency in public. The help I received focused on developing fluency and success in a controlled environment. Once fluency was developed, achieved, and practiced, *...

if you have money to spend, I recommend the Mcguire Program. it's expensive, and requires at least 3 nights in a hotel. intensive 3 day workshop will work on the fear of stammering and the physical c...

I'm also curious about her stuttering credentials, but based on your description it doesn't sound like she has a good understanding of the issues of stuttering and how to help PWS. And her rate is ins...

What are the therapist's credentials? I really don't like the concept of practice-in-public. But I AM NOT AN SLP. But in my *limited* experience, advising practice in public on the first day sounds o...
