Thanks for the input! I have been following the tips from a YouTube channel called Broca Brothers. They make videos on overcoming stuttering. To be honest, I feel like I do not do a good job at accepting my stutter. I always think really hard to myself that “if I do this I can overcome my stutter,” and I do those things. I feel like I’m too stubborn and too focused on overcoming my stutter. Taking actions to overcome my stutter while not fully accepting my stutter might be doing me harm. I have heard of the McGuire program. Perhaps, I can try it if I don’t have luck with speech therapy and toastmasters.
