Apart from Hausdorfer I did all the intensive therapies, including McGuire. McGuire gave me the best results. I had complete control over my speech for nearly three months after my first course. Then ...

Does anyone else stutter like CRAZY near their mother/father?

I had a traumatizing experience in high school once (actually there were many, but this one stands out to me). There was a girl I was absolutely crushing on in my English class, but we were barely jus...

I've been doing CBT since early September. While it is definitely helping, I have a very long way to go. I went into engineering thinking I would be clear of this shit but unfortunately that isn't th...

Have a class presentation next week And the anxiety is almost crippling. A little backstory, I've been stuttering since about first grade. When I joined the military at 19, my stutter completely vanis...

Putting myself in the right frame of mind usually helps me. Im sure youre like many others, counting down the students to see which paragraph you'll be reading and scanning through it for words you ma...

Don't hold back. Keep going into social situations. Don't avoid speaking situations where this is occurring, it'll get worse. Overkill those feared situations and show yourself it's possible, keep doi...

I'm going to warn you about the click thing. You're developing a secondary behavior (or maybe it's already developed). I know when you're feeling the panic it's hard not to do what you instinctively d...

I guess it comes down to our individual outlook on life. It sounds like you're pretty at peace with your stutter, and I'm not in that place right now. I kinda needed to vent after a pretty rough day a...

I'm a bit late since I don't visit that often but I wanna chime in on the stopping stuttering part. I think it is more useful to approach speech as something that is not on or off, but something that ...

Honestly I've got to agree with everything you've said. I've gone through extremely good phases where I've hardly stuttered, to the point where I worked in a communications job. I was just able to pus...
