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...

This is why I think the Valsalva hypothesis is an insufficient explanation of stuttering (and a poor therapy approach) -- His assertion that consonants are not the source of disfluencies but vowels a...

I'm 41, also stammered my while life. I did the rounds of speech therapy as a kid and it gave me absolutely nothing. The fact that they discharged you shows how poorly it's treated on the NHS. A few y...
