Worsening stutter Hi all! I am a 24 year old female and I have had a stutter throughout my whole life. It is hereditary as my father and 2 of my siblings also have one. Over the last year it has got significantly worse. I can’t complete a full sentence without having a block or stuttering. It’s especially bad when I’m in meetings at work or having to be involved in a heated discussion at work, particularly with certain managers. I have never tried speech therapy but I have researched numerous ways on how to overcome my stutter in certain circumstances (tapping fingers or feet to create a beat). I was wondering if anyone else has found their stutter has got worse as they’ve gotten older and tried speech therapy, and if you have, how did you find it? Did you see noticeable results? I know I’ll never be cured but I really would like to reduce my symptoms and be able to voice my opinion at work and home. TYIA xxx
