Your son sounds a *lot* like I was. > He's a happy soul and says no-one mentions it at school Exactly the same for me. At least, nobody spoke about it around me. I'm sure there'd have been times ...

I would look into some type of fluency boot camp program. I was 26 when I attended my first one and it's been the only thing that was truly helped me. This program was a 3 week summer program of 5 h...

Actual speech therapist here. Current trends in research recommend therapy focuses dually on building confidence/comfort with stuttering to improve overall communication as well as giving behavior mod...

Thank you! I remembered how I got through it - I did a few rounds of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It was life-changing and it taught me to replace negative thinking with positive thinking. If y...

It happens to me a lot. People will say, "Sorry sir, I think the connection is bad. Can you repeat that?" Then my anxiety goes through the roof, and I block even more. The cycle repeats itself until I...

This is why they changed the method. It's normal to have a fall in the first time, but you have to go one and still train. The limit of this method is that you need a strong will in the first period...

I know, I did the course in 2011, Senigallia, maybe we met. But if you say that help you for 3 weeks for me does not much sense, because you need to train the method for at leat 4/5 months to see resu...

There is still hope

There is still hope I red more topic about the difficulty of find a therapy. I had the luck to find a great course that helps me a lot (thanks to my mum that convince me to go). I think that the stren...

I think stuttering therapy now is much more geared towards acceptance, and they teach us a lot of counselling components in graduate school, because let’s be honest, stuttering isn’t correcting an r o...

Hey I'm glad you wrote this, I'm a speech pathologist without a stutter and reading your perspective is really helpful for me. I will say in my graduate school experience the importance of stuttering ...

Fellow stutterers, what is your experience with ACT?

Fellow stutterers, what is your experience with ACT? My psychologist wants to try doing ACT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance_and_commitment_therapy) in a month from now, I was wondering if an...

That study is mindblowing. The authors found a physical source of stuttering. They showed how brain activation during speech differs between stutterers and fluent speakers. They saw how fluency-shapin...

I want to learn those strategies to help those who want it. Some people are content with the way they speak and that is totally okay. I will note what you have said. Thank you...

It's worth it if you are willing to put in the work. Daily breathing exercises, practicing your technique on a daily basis, consistantly pushing your comfortzone and attending supportgroups and repeat...

Couple of points I want to ask about here. - >I’ve had phases (1-2 years) throughout my life when my stuttering reduced quite a bit Did you ever look into what changed during these years, that y...

Yes, you should go. In my experience you can only go for so long before you kinda learn everything they have to teach you. Then you just have to practice it and work in it yourself on your own time to...

Yea I think it’s worth it depending how severe you find it . I went as a child and still employ some techniques I learned as an adult . Just go in knowing that it will definitely help reduce the frequ...

I think these are the real areas where a knowledgeable therapist can help. The only advice I can give is whatever you try to try and hem nervousness, do it in easier situations. You can't go into a sc...

Definitely consider it! You can also do a trial before you decide to pay for it. They design it like an actual class with variable lessons each time. I appreciate their focus on evidence-based techniq...

Just to clarify, it $25/year, not per month. And yes it's amazing it has actually helped me improve my speech. Ditto to the previous comment, and I love how they send you inspirational quotes, some...
