If you haven't already done so, I heavily recommend EDMR therapy if you can find a placement, you mentioned it stemmed from physical abuse as a child. That's exactly what EDMR is for, mine stemmed fro...

I've been Stuttering since I was like 5 years old, it was genetical and I think an incident of physical abuse was what triggered it. Fast forward to today, I'm 22 and I've spent more than 3/4th of ...

Completely lost

Completely lost So i had an interview with this agency about some university applications they’re helping me with. (I’m 19) and I purposefully did not tell them about my stutter beforehand because I t...

Stop making him feel like he's doing something wrong. Stress how everyone is different in their own way and that's great. He has his own way of speaking and that's OK just the way he is. The pressure ...

Parents who yell at you for stuttering can make it even worse. Emotional abuse and neglect....

Mine developed independently of each other. I was socially anxious years before I started stuttering....

I wonder if that means it's a psychological issue ?, and I don't think it's a neurological issue since we can talk to ourselves or read alone and not stutter, but when we realize that we're being lis...

Actually, this makes a lot of sense. And is also proof that stuttering is not caused by psychological things (like lack of confidence, stressful situations etc.), but rather that these are just occasi...

i am pretty much sure that my stuttering is more of a psychological than a physical disability...

This. Women are usually XX chromosome, so additional X is like backup. While Men are XY usually, so they are more prone to genetic fails, shorter life. That Y is just weaker, and if something goes wro...

No, he definitely doesn’t need pity. Breathing exercises, yes, they indirectly affect stuttering. I want to explain stuttering fully — it controls him and suppresses him."...

How to help him, for this you need to understand what is happening with him. Stuttering is a fear that the mind could not let go, and this very fear controls him."...

Stuttering has really affected my true self

Stuttering has really affected my true self this is a throwaway account so thats why my karma's so low, I just need somewhere to vent. I'm a teenage girl in highschool and I swear, I'm naturally conf...

Honestly this is all very true. My last SLP took a CBT approach to our therapy and really helped me let go of some of the internalized shame I’ve built up over the years. A lot of it is mental, but it...

My boyfriend’s first time stutter

My boyfriend’s first time stutter My boyfriend 27M and I had a really bad explosive fight today and he started stuttering really hard towards the end… we were both communicating via call only and coul...

I understand your feelings and I’m sure other people feel the same way. Personally, my experience with stuttering has created unbearable anger within me. I feel like society has taught me that I’m not...

I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling :( I have a stutter too and I 100% relate to everything you’re saying. I tried fluency shaping speech therapy for over 10 years (age 13-25ish). I gave up because it...

You really seem to have this harmful victim blaming mindset. I can assure you a majority of people have been bullied, laughed at, discriminated, teased, mocked, infantilized, and harassed because of ...

I largely agree with you that it's naive to think of stuttering as a physiological brain-based disorder only. At least in my case I got a lot of evidence its a systems issue comprising many parts, of ...

Came for this comment. I have always felt she was faking, but no concrete proof. She had tics, which just disappeared. Didn't she also claim to have tourettes? She'll be raking it in with her big soci...
