For me, stuttering has absolutely nothing to do with social anxiety. If there are certain words that are hard for me to say, I will stutter when trying to say those words even when speaking to myself....

Thanks! I'm happy to answer your questions. I was the only male in my Masters class and was the only one who stuttered. I've found it to be a really powerful tool that both parents and patients appr...
