Stop telling yourself lies As the title says.. There's probably no help for us, we'll stutter (in my case-speech blocks) for our entire lives, sometimes we'll be fluent, sometimes not.. We all know that speech therapy doesn't work, it only enforces that we're stutterers with a problem, not normal human beings who happen to have a brain fart.. And so on and on.. On every occasion we'll have to talk to someone, we just keep reminding ourselves that we're this broken person and with time we keep strengthening the habit which is called stuttering.. and it is, just a habit, nothing else..
