In some situations, there's not much you can do other than to just do your best to work through it. But I know that avoiding the stuttered sound and instead trying to repeat the word or sentence to g...

im sorry but that's not going to work. In fact, it's just going to continue to lead you down the path of fear. If you do anything to reduce stuttering (aka stutter less), you are likely reinforcing th...

The more concessions I give my stammer the more it grows. I just let whoever cut my hair. If I stutter than so be it. Their problem if they care, not mine....

nice read and nice story. It sounds really good when you just let the stutters come without trying to control them....

The "sensitization' treatment of putting yourself in uncomfortable situations is such a bullshit therapy modality. It's almost like it worked with one patient who had a mild stutter and now every ther...

There is a reason why negativity is so prevalent among stutterers online (never met one in real life). What works for you will not work for everyone. I've done the whole expose yourself to *uncomfor...

I have finally found a way to control my stutter - Maybe you can do the same.

I have finally found a way to control my stutter - Maybe you can do the same. As some of you know - from my previous post. I attended a McGuire program course in Galway, Ireland. The first day was a ...

There is so much you can do. The key for me was to explore exactly what I was doing while stuttering on my name. So I could slowly change it. Saying my name doesn't feel like talking anymore. It's jus...

The core of the program is the coastal breathing technique. Breathing through the diagram before you begin speaking and speaking when you exhale. That should reduce the frequency of stuttering. When y...

The 'uhms' are junk sounds that are a learned secondary stuttering behavior. It can also be unlearned and in doing so you will improve the way that your speech is percieved by others. Have you ever ...

Yup, that's basically it. It's not that I find stuttering funny or sexy, so I'm definitely not doing it on purpose. Jesus....

Yes, it happens to block the mental pain of the memory by creating a physical distraction. Learn to overcome it...

Great book. Recommend it to everyone. I dont know how much logotherapy is used today but the example you gave I think is mostly on point. I havent heard of paradoxical intent, but Joe Sheehan spoke ab...

I am no Logotherapist, so I cannot fully answer on that (any psychotherapists in this sub?). However, V. Frankl describes the application of paradoxical intention on a heavy stutterer and it worked li...

Are you sure you're supposed to be applying this sort of thing to stuttering?...

I'm not sure the point is to "stop"? We have some speech therapists in the house, I think, maybe they can weigh in on this one. But it was my understanding that this technique merely contains the stut...

I've heard of people who practice fluent speech by purposefully stuttering on words they normally don't stutter on. With this they try and get better control over their stutter - meaning they can sto...

Logotherapy and paradoxical intention

Logotherapy and paradoxical intention I have just finished reading Man's Search for Meaning by Victor E. Frankl and at the end is a section about Logotherapy. I wondered whether anyone uses, has heard...

I know it's easier said than done, but you should be proud of yourself for taking the risk, instead of letting a block crush you. ...

Bravo for taking the risk of an icebreaker! If I took that chance, even if I couldn't get it out I'd consider it a victory! ...
