I don't think it's about fluency. It's more about the psychological side of stuttering. Acceptance, finding the cause, understanding yourself, etc. These all help to be able to come to terms with the ...

Nice to see another Terence fan on here. Maps are conducting studies currently using mdma and other psychs. I think there'll definitely be progress made with the next 20 years on anxiety/stuttering th...

We don't have to make the distinction "psychological" as opposed to "physical". Stutter is influenced by what we do, as a whole. It also varies from person to person what influencers there are, and wh...

Well i can kind of relate to the cocaine thing. I don't do do blow. But i take Concerta (amphetamines) for ADD and it effects my stutter. If i take it for the first time after not taking it for a week...

I want to chime in here and give what insight I can for the naysayers. Firstly, good on you OP for coming to that conclusion. I wholeheartedly agree that my stutter is about 10 percent physical and ...

Exactly. I think my stuttering was caused by my parents getting seperated when i was very young. I had just learned to speak at that time, and sudenly my father left and that caused a LOT of stress in...

Exactly what i thought you meant. But if you can find what causes your stress And social tensions. That is a beautiful thing. Because I personally have no clue what causes mine. Im one of the most con...

I think what the OP is saying is that it allowed them to look deeper into themselves then they are normally capable of. Now i do not think they meant taking MDMA on the regular is the answer. But to u...

Yeah I went to a hypnotherapist that thinks it is PTSD from being attached by a flock of geese as a toddler. Finding out much later that it's a physiological problem caused by genes. But the geese the...

Stuttering and Aspergers aren't linked together. However the mental struggle with stuttering can influence the Aspergers testresults. Did you do a selftest or certified test taken by a professional? I...

In my early years of elementary school, I had psychologial counseling - didn't help at all. I suffered from stuttering a lot until high school, then I've enrolled in drama classes. I must say **tongue...

I agree, fuck this! Stuttering fucking sucks. I hate stuttering -- it's ruined first impressions, chances to get laid, job opportunities, and general socializing. We are handicapped/challenged, whatev...

I definitely do this. I'll stop in the middle of a word and look around, pretending I'm thinking till I can get the word out. Or I'll just change the word entirely, which doesn't always help. I do thi...

I want to echo what /u/Donna8390 said and think you should find someone that can help her physchological health. My parents didn't know much about stuttering and I was able to hide it pretty well as I...

Apparently a lot of stutters are caused by traumatic experiences. So, this isn't unusual....

It's hard to find a good treatment for the mental part of stuttering. SLPers don't have the psychological knowledge, while psychologists don't have knowledge about stuttering and the mental anguish it...

Internet hug! When I have panic attacks, I stop being able to talk entirely, so I really empathized with that. My parents obviously aren't the greatest, but they always were encouraging independence--...
