Stuttering reading material Hi, I have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. I have had periods in my life when I have had a new job felt confident and have not shuttered for about 6 months. I went to speech therapy last year for about 4 weeks. When I started my frequency of stuttering was high. I accepted my stutters and see a big improvement. Now I have started a new job where I am self conscious of my stutter. I do interviews on the telephone and dread these as I am worried what will my colleagues think when if I stutter. I do stutter, I think this is because I have the fear of stuttering which makes my stutter worse and because I've stuttered I'm worried about stuttering. And the cycle starts again. I feel like my stuttering is having an impact on my personal life now. I've started to stutter while taking to friends that I haven't stuttered before with. Most of the time I'm thinking about my stutter. Can anyone recommend any books to read to help me accept my stutter? Thank you
