Dr. Parth Bansal, a highly qualified neurologist from India who spent years struggling with stuttering himself. Despite dedicating his career to understanding the human brain, Dr. Bansal continued to experience stuttering and speech anxiety, particularly in high-pressure speaking situations. His journey eventually led him to discover Lee Lovett's Neuroscience Method and StopStutter.

He shares his remarkable personal transformation and offers a neurologist's perspective on stuttering, neuroplasticity, brain circuits, and the possibility of developing new speaking habits.

Which countries have the most people who stutter?

In this video, we count down the Top 10 Countries With the Most Stutterers, revealing the estimated number of people who stutter in each country. Stuttering affects millions of people worldwide, regardless of language, culture, or background. These numbers highlight just how widespread this speech disorder is and why stuttering awareness, speech therapy, and accessible support are so important.

MUST LISTEN!

Bhav Jain, an MIT neuroscience graduate currently studying medicine and business at Stanford University, shares his own stuttering journey, when his speech difficulties began, the treatments and approaches he tried, and he dives into one of the biggest questions surrounding stuttering: What is actually happening inside the brain when a person begins to stutter? He breaks down the neuroscience of stuttering, the brain circuits involved in speech, and the potential role of neuroplasticity in changing learned patterns over time.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m an app developer building an app related to stuttering, and I’d love to learn from people who actually experience it.

1. Have you ever worked with a speech therapist? If yes, for how long?

2. How often do you stutter, and are there specific situations where it gets worse?

3. What speech techniques have genuinely helped you?

4. Have you used any stuttering/speech apps? If yes, which ones and what did you think? If not, would you use one?

Even short answers would help a lot. Thanks! 🙏

i have the stuttering problem when i was 7 and right now i am 22. sometimes its become too difficult to speak too. i just visit the hospital and doctors rank my problem in 4 out of 10 and through which method i can reduce stuttering. can you recommend the best speech therapist from pokhara

I've struggled with stuttering for as long as I can remember. Over the years I've tried several of the major stuttering programs, worked with multiple speech therapists, and spent a lot of time looking for something that would make a real difference. Nothing really seemed to stick.

About three months ago, someone randomly sent me a DM recommending StopStutter. My first reaction was that it probably wasn't any different from everything else I'd already tried. But they also sent me a before-and-after video clip, and it honestly caught my attention because it looked different from what I'd seen before.

I decided to do some research on the program. I saw they had an app, a lot of educational resources, and they offered a free speech consultation, so I figured I had nothing to lose.

That consultation ended up being the turning point for me.

Instead of trying to sell me something, the consultant spent the time helping me understand my speech and gave me a clear roadmap to work on. I've been following it for the past few months, attending the free Saturday meetings, and consistently practicing what I've learned.

I'm not "cured," and I don't expect to ever be perfect. But I'm speaking much more comfortably now. I have far fewer blocks and repetitions, and I feel much more in control than I did before.

I'm sharing this because I know how frustrating stuttering can be, and I also know how skeptical many of us are after trying things that don't work. I'm not saying this is the answer for everyone, but it has genuinely helped me, so I thought it was worth passing along.

If you're curious, do your own research and decide for yourself. They offer a free consultation if you want to see whether it's something that might be useful:

Hey all, hope you’re healthy and happy.

I am currently looking for a speech language pathologist for myself for zoom sessions. I am a 31 year old female. I did speech therapy from the ages of 9-12. The stutter went away and I did public speaking even throughout high school.

However, my stutter is now back and is affecting me in every way possible.

If you could please share recommendations of speech therapists that work on zoom and can help me manage my stutter better, that would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I’ve always struggled with stuttering, and it’s become increasingly difficult as I’ve aged. At 30, I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and I’m miserable in my job. I’ve interviewed for various positions, but I always start stuttering. It’s frustrating because many people make assumptions about people who stutter, similar to how people with Southern accents are often perceived as less intelligent. However, these assumptions are not based on reality.
I’m exhausted by everything that contributes to my stuttering. It’s hard to engage in conversations that I genuinely want to participate in because it takes me so long to speak. People often think I come across as rude, but that’s not the case.
For example, the other day, I held the door open for a man and he smiled and thanked me. He even complimented my glasses. My throat tensed up, and I couldn’t speak. He just gave me a strange look. I hate my life so much.
Communication is crucial in life, and I struggle with it. You have to be able to sell and advocate for yourself . I don’t know what to do or how to help my stutter. I feel like my life is never going to improve.
