Is speech therapy worth it?

Is speech therapy worth it? I'm a 25f who has struggled with stuttering since I started speaking. I used to go to speech therapy when I was younger (I barely remember) but obviously it hadn't gotten a...

100% This IS exhausting Take it from a 55 year old, give yourself some grace We have to work 1000% harder than everyone else on the most simplest of tasks. I've had my stutter for 50 years and wi...

what you're describing about blocks appearing suddenly makes a lot of sense actually. Adolescence is a huge time for speech pattern changes, and it's super common for the type of stuttering to shift d...

Hey, I’m a speech pathology student. My first advice is to stop avoiding the vowel sounds you’re finding yourself to stutter on. My second advice is more… out of curiosity. As in, I don’t know if this...

I’m a speech therapist (SLP) with a niche in fluency and I’m so glad you found a good SLP who you feel is helpful. I can tell based on what you describe you worked on that the person you found is up t...

Thank you so much for sharing. You've really touched me with this. I have also made sense of my stuttering as feeling profoundly unsafe from very early on in my family to speak freely with anything th...

When I was a kid, a very, very long time ago, never had any speech therapy since then. Unsure if it really helped or not, but, maybe I was too young for it really to be effective?...

You need to use what you’ve got to try and improve yourself. If your family has money, use those resources to get intensive speech therapy and psychotherapy to help you deal with and accept your stut...

Yes, a few times over the decades. Certainly helped me learn the strategies, but without daily focus and practice you relapse into old habits. I still use the techniques learnt in high stress speaki...

A few times when I was a kid, I think I was too young for it to be effective and again a few times when I was around 20. It really helped. At 46, I still have it, but I'm pretty good at masking....

one thing people miss about controlling a stutter is that having consistent work with a therapist who knows what they're doing makes way more difference than trying random techniques on your own. I've...

i'm really sorry you're going through this rough patch. The unpredictability of stuttering can be one of the most mentally exhausting parts, especially when you're doing everything right and it still ...

I didn't think speech therapy in school was effective. The speech therapists had big case loads and I don't think they were prepared for my chronic stuttering style. Last March I started seeing a spee...
