I stuttered as a child/YA, but went into "remission" until my late 20's (stress of college, marriage, and being a father caused a relapse). As such I didn't experience the usual shame associated with...

Hahaha that's awesome. These are the types of fantasies I have after someone reacts real awkwardly or they dont know how to respond, I just wish it was some motherfucker sayin some shit so I had an ex...

Dude I feel you. Don't know why I'm going to tell you this, but the part about how we react to the pitfalls got me thinking about the worst encounter I've ever had with a stutter. Some D-bag was wi...

MY hypothesis on MY stuttering

MY hypothesis on MY stuttering Before I get to what I think, i feel like some background is necessary. I'm not a long-time stutterer; in fact, I only became aware of my stutter late last year. Eversin...

You explained the block sensation very well. It's like your brain short circuits for a second and you simply cannot say the word, whether your mind is preoccupied or you're nervous about stuttering. I...

Researchers have found stuttering typically, but not always, runs in families leading to a belief the disorder is passed down. While there have been significant advances in finding specific genes resp...

As a speech-language pathologist I feel the need to say that adult-onset stuttering is typically not "developmental" stuttering (as in the condition most people in this sub have). Adult-onset stutteri...

I hate that fact that speech pathologists and researchers don't understand what stuttering is. It's like that line from Good Will Hunting "If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinn...

Mine came around that age also, around the 10-12 mark, my mother seems to think it was because of some of the physical and mental abuse I received my Father. (He was a bit of a drunk, so yeah), but I ...

I have two problems with the statement that "stuttering is largely psychological" Problem 1: I don't know what the person saying this mean by "stuttering." Do you mean the condition of stuttering? Or...

Children start stuttering for neurophysiological reasons. However, as a child matures and ages with the experience of stuttering, psychological components definitely become layered on. These additiona...

I think stuttering is largely psychological, and I think therapy can seriously help people who stutter. I know it's an unpopular belief, but hear me out.

I think stuttering is largely psychological, and I think therapy can seriously help people who stutter. I know it's an unpopular belief, but hear me out. I've been seeing a psychiatrist for about a ye...

I don't think we can rely on how society views stuttering to be reliable. If we take that to be the standard then our stuttering is the result of some internal psychological conflict, the result of so...

I started stuttering around age eight (don't really remember because it didn't bother me as much as a kid). It is also genetic for me, as I have an uncle that stutters and I'm pretty sure my dad himse...

I read through your post twice and I kept thinking that your focus was far too centered upon starting and maintaining the vibration of the vocal cords and your statement,"His therapy is basically goin...

So if you want to characterize stuttering correctly here's a list of things to note about stuttering. 1) Right now I only see speech sound repetitions. However, there are other types of disfluencies....

As a writer, avid reader, and stutterer, here are a few things that will *always* annoy me about characters who stutter. - M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-maybe, just m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-maybe, take it easy on t...

Yeah, I'm with you. I know that my fluency increased when I worked on my internal issues but a immediate change like that, not so much. And yeah, the rocky and bullwinkle thing was shit but I think he...

:) Firstly, I'm still not sure what you mean by mental. Two things come to my mind: psychological (dealing with the mind, the perception we create of ourselves etc) and neurobiological (dealing with ...

Please go ahead, I am open minded. Obviously stuttering is a complex issue and differs per person, but for me stuttering must be a mental problem due to me having fluency most of my life then suddenly...
