If you had it as a kid it’s more normal than if it just appeared out of the blue. I started stuttering at 28 during a turbulent time in my life. It comes and goes in severity but I can say speech ther...

This is a copy-paste of a previous comment I've made since I think it might be beneficial to you. I don't want to take away from your confidence, but this is advice I'd have wanted when I was in your ...

Yeah, it really can help it’s not an overnight thing, but consistency makes a big difference. I was nervous at first too. I read an article about Julie Mercadante that explained how myofunctional the...

I have gone. There are many ways to approach it. Desensitization (addressing fear), acceptance, changing your mindset in approaching conversation and situations (CBT), addressing how your body react...

>And no adult ever cured their stutter.  Cured is a loaded word. I'll always be a stutterer. But I no longer stutter. Those of us with severe stutters have achieved fluency. I was a severe stutterer...

Please read your own link and consider that they specify how little identical twins actually differ. I've helped several in this community. And I continue to do so. You've been very quiet on speech ...

The individual has a big impact here. I went to therapy for several years in my teens. I saw minimal improvement. I went back to the same therapist in my 20s. Over the course of more than six month...

Hey 👋🏻 thanks for the reply 🐱 Can you also share how long did it take you to see improvements? I'm quite sure about speech therapy being effective and the only thing that can help me now thanks t...

A few questions I have for fellow stutterers

A few questions I have for fellow stutterers You don’t have to answer all of these, just answer the questions you feel called to answer! 1. How is your self image? How has it changed throughout your ...

Hey there! I never did any therapy until 22 or so, which was short lived. Where I live, it costs $200+ out of pocket and I couldn't afford it at the time. It did help me at the time, I kinda wish I'...

I started with hour-long weekly sessions. When my speech therapist noticed i had made improvements, we toned it down to twice a month, and then once a month. I’ve had so many sessions i can’t keep t...

It’s never too late I didn’t find speech therapy to be helpful for me but if it works for you and you think it’s worth practicing keep going...

I did the program years ago, still use a costal breath in certain situations. If I’m being honest the program itself turned me from basically mute into controlled speech. I don’t practice as much any ...
