Sorry if you read that as me attacking you! I wasn't. I just want to make sure other people don't read your story and think there is some miraculous cure to stuttering. Personally, the knowledge that ...

So, as a clinician, there are a couple things that would be helpful to have, but a) I don't know that the technology exists to achieve them b) there are often simpler, more straight forward means of a...

most of the stuff he said doesnt apply to me....he told me to get pro help. I have been to a hospital and non-school related therapy and it did nothing for me...

If your 10 years of therapy was in school then yeaaa thats not going to do anything. I think a supportive group environment would do wonders. You tried group therapy one time and it was too much? Mayb...

10 years of speech therapy did literally nothing for me...i even went outside of school to a hospital to get help, which just turned out to be a waste of money. I have accepted there is no cure and I ...

I was on Xanax for a while along with a few other anti-anxiety meds for general anxiety not related to my stuttering. In my case it did not help my stuttering. If you an interested in learning abo...

Hey Aidan, good to have you here! First of all, let me tell you that I completely understand what you're going through. I'm almost 30 and I've been stuttering ever since I can remember. Primary schoo...

Rapport is it because it basically applied to everything else we did. When going over strategies, we would walk the halls or sit down in the cafe. When getting me to do the voluntary stuttering stuff,...

>But this therapist was late 20s, just graduated, and very friendly and helpful. This led to all sessions feeling more like an hour of talking and catching up than therapy. So I'm curious, what di...

Who was the best therapist you ever had?

Who was the best therapist you ever had? I had a handful growing up. Some private, some from the school I was at. All were older and the experience did not do much for me. But my last therapist was a...
