For those who achieved fluency on their own without a speech therapist, how did you do it?

For those who achieved fluency on their own without a speech therapist, how did you do it? Appreciate it if those with a severe stutter could reply, but any reply is welcome!...

I tried the Speech Easy back in the day, I think it was one of the original DAF devices. Great concept, I think DAF has merits, but ultimately it didn’t work well for me, but I think I had too high ho...

I took the program as well – my speech has been greatly improved because of it. The thing is, the methods are pretty hard to break down in a reddit post as the program is quite a bit deeper than "do t...

It’s funny how some people are pessimistic about someone trying improving their fluency when they haven’t bothered trying to improve it themselves. I’ve also used that same program to stop stuttering ...

I think the post reads like an ad too because it doesn't share information for free, but instead is guiding towards a purchase? I hear you that our community is pretty divided these days with some pos...

Haha That’s exactly what I used to say if I read a post or an article or anything that helped someone get better or improve their daily life. But in all honesty I’m just shedding light on something th...

OMG yes these books are a god sent. I love love love them. The best instruction manual to stop stuttering and I can’t recommend it enough...

With sounds like M and B, it can help to practice easing into them instead of hitting them with a lot of tension. Try starting with a gentle hum or a soft “mmm” to feel the vibration before moving int...

Thank you for your response. Yes what you are saying is pretty much what our private SLP has been saying. Daughter goes to a center where she was getting OT, but also offers speech, so she has been ...

is there a correction example? A video example of someone handling his stutter not perfectly at first, for example, maybe someone responds to him before he can finish his sentence, and then he correct...

I agree with you. Lee's book and techniques have transformed my life in so many ways. For me it was very hard work over time (multiple hours daily) but it worked out quite well and I have gone from no...

Thanks for the reply! What do you mean by soft starting? I found this article, is this it? https://www.stutteringtherapyonline.com/easy-onsets.html...

I had a lot of success on the phone with soft starting the words. I can't remember what this technique is called. I learnt it at a stuttering course. You might know its name. Of not just let me kn...

That is an incredible shift and thank you for sharing your story. You are right that some people notice changes in stuttering when starting or adjusting medications like SSRIs, though the experiences ...

I'm 27 and started stuttering when I was 3. I've found a lot of success with Lee Lovett's book "How To Stop Stuttering & Love Speaking". Now I can truly say, I never have to stutter in any situation -...

I was a stutterer for over 60 years. Thought I had to live with it, found Lee’s program in March and I am now fluent! Stuttering is a habit and Lee’s 123 punch works! Reading aloud, mind, training, a...

Hey man, glad Lee’s book and techniques worked for you! Personally, I saw Lee’s publications and ‘advice’ as snake oil and opted for traditional therapy. There’s several reasons why I don’t heavily su...

Yeah it's impressive. There are also before and after clips of me somewhere. The first 6 month were great. But for me and many others from my intensive course it didn't last. I did refresher once the ...

I think there is. There’s some neuroscience method program by the world stop stuttering association and I joined it this past summer and while I’m not where I want to be 100%, I can’t kid myself, ther...

I am a speech pathologist so I did my own therapy resulting in fluent speech. For me it was all about learning to have smooth and easy airflow through my vocal cords during speech....
