I understand, that makes sense. The thing is, psychologists SHOULD ideally be having a certain degree of knowledge about stuttering and its socio-emotional aspects, just as they usually have about ot...

Stuttering has nothing to do with communication and that's the reason why we need to see psych therapists in the first place lol. To detach fluency from what our definition is of a successful interac...

It's interesting you bring up the iceberg. I've been thinking about this very thing. The whole premise of the analogy is that stutter itself is the 10% and all the emotions are the 90%. Ive been to...

Exactly! I have similar thoughts about how stuttering is approached in India. If you've noticed, Psychologists (or even psychiatrists) consider themselves a significant part of the treatment process i...

For me that's part of the problem. Why cant we normalize the idea that people who stutter have PTSD and promote going to trauma informed therapy.l? Why do we need SLPs wearing 2 hats? Im not going t...

I think it depends where you're based. It sounds like maybe these aspects are not considered a lot in your country. I don't stutter myself but I'm a speech therapist in the UK and here we focus large...

I did different things but my sessions with Pysch helps alot and after that I also went to Speech Therapist. Pysch told me why you stammer and what will be your cause for this, Psych told me relation ...

There’s no such a thing as going past a trauma. You move forward from it, gracefully, learning what you can, trying to heal and being kind to yourself. Acknowledgment is a crucial and necessary step i...

Thanks for your comment. I mean people have apologized for it. My brother apologized immediately I remember. And it's not like I'm actively thinking about those things. So it's like a narrative. A n...

Trauma spilling over to communication sensitivities?

Trauma spilling over to communication sensitivities? I used to stutter a lot. I still do, but I used to too. Anyways, now that I'm in my 40s I've come quite adept at masking it that many people don't...

Your son's story is very much my own. At age 7, I moved countries. School. Culutre. Friends. The lot. Even lost my favourite childhood teddy bear in the move which was just extra trauma for little m...

I also developed a stutter in my youth. Age 5 or 6. We also recently arrived in America and were moving around a little bit into different apartments as we settled. This is the only thing I can think...

My son developed a stutter at age 7. Not from birth — something triggered it.

My son developed a stutter at age 7. Not from birth — something triggered it. Everyone assumed my son was born with it. He wasn’t. He was the most talkative kid you’ve ever met. Narrated everything; ...
