I've been in and out of speech therapy and I could only practice fluency with the therapist. I tried using strategies outside of therapy, but I feel like my anxiety would force my disfluency. The st...

“Do you even stutter bro?” Ha. Hell ya I do! Stuttered my whole life. You’re right in one respect, it’s your choice to choose whatever job you want. I’m just trying to tell you that we can’t give you...

I totally feel you. What I’ve found is engaging in situations like these are what makes me more confident in my speech overall, as painful and nerve racking as they can be. A big part of it is control...
