Truthfully man it was when I was in high school and my mom actually found him. I know him and his partner (who also stutters) have a business together and may have some offices here and there. I can g...

Question: How did you find the therapist that stutters himself? I'd love to find someone like that in my area. I too don't feel like anyone else can really get it. I looked up therapist lists onli...

Go to a speech pathologist. And go to one who is actually a stutterer themselves. I went to one, and while it didnt cure me (that wont ever happen) it did help me quite a bit and gave me things to wor...

**tl;dr It's good that you're trying to help, but you might want to talk to actual stutterers before assuming you can solve their problems.** I've heard this many, many times before. Not only that, a...

Firstly, I know how you feel. I don't want to give you a pep talk, im sure others will do that so i'll cut to the chase. What is your current situation? are you living at home? does your family have ...

I go through good phases, where my speech is actually pretty good. I'll happily pick up the phone and talk to whoever (they can't see the weird expressions that are needed!). It's the bad phases that ...

You shouldn't bring yourself down like that, you don't deserve it if someone says something about it just say yes i stutter and continue on. Most people don't care that you stutter. if they do then do...

I am a speech pathologist, and I encourage you to go see one, this time look for what experience/ approach the slp has with fluency. I find that fluency is an area many slp's are not comfortable or c...

I deal with this same issue, albeit on a smaller scale. I need to take my own advice, but you just have to say fuck it, and try not to worry what anyone else thinks of you. You should see a therapist ...

So much feels.... Especcialy the part of anticpating in sound, rather than thought. It's so rooted in our brains. I've found a video (from this sub) that explains it IMO spot-on: http://www.youtube.co...

Same here. Finishing my undergrad degree now and worried about the future as I want to work with kids who stutter, but what if I can't model words correctly, will this be a problem? Should I try to wo...

(I know I'm not OP but I've got to ask) How does stuttering impacts your job? I want to become a speech therapist too and I'm terrified cause I'm not in total control of my stuttering (I'd say 95% may...

Before you see a speech and language pathologist, who is qualified, please see a doctor. If your doctor is baffled, see a neurologist....

Yea I'll definitely look into a speech-language pathologist, I can say for a certainty I didn't have a stutter in my younger years...

If you feel comfortable, it might be worth asking your parents if you ever stuttered as a very young child (too young for you to remember, possibly). I'm a speech-language pathologist who works with a...
