I'm 23 years old. When I was little, I stuttered a little, then stopped during my school days. For several years, I have noticed that I have started to stutter again. It is not continuous stuttering, I stutter on a word, especially when I speak slowly. Overall, I always spoke very quickly but understandably. I have periods where I stutter for a while, then notice a long pause and then again … It's embarrassing to me because I thought I had gotten rid of this problem.
Stuttering is a very specific disorder. It has many causes and many kinds. However, it is always necessary to take into account the psychological basis of this disorder. Speech disfluency has a neurotic etiology and occurs especially in stressful situations. The frequency of the symptoms of disfluency, jams, blockages, etc. is therefore different and sometimes it may disappear even for a few years, and then appear more strongly. The greater the stress associated with the process of speaking itself, the more the symptoms may get worse. I would suggest going to a speech therapist who deals with stuttering therapy and to a psychotherapist who can work with such disorders. Stuttering therapy is effective, so give it a try.
