About this episode
This episode explores the paradox of stuttering, discussing how allowing oneself to stutter can lead to less stuttering, featuring insights from Dr. J Scott Yaruss.
Episode #282: Why do we find that letting ourselves stutter more often leads to stuttering less, while trying to speak fluently seems to result in more stuttering? Join me as I explore this phenomenon with Dr. J Scott Yaruss , speech-language pathologist, researcher, and educator for more than 30 years. We also talk about the various research studies Scott has and is working on and how you may be able to participate!
