My dad has paranoid issues and thinks therapists are out to get him. I have seen a few in secret, but they didn't help much except for offering the strategies I call the "retard talk". My mom understa...

I do the same. Since I am doing that, I can say my name fluently, but I am still very nervous when I know its going to happen because you never know, and saying your own name is the most embarrassing,...

Really? But that's exactly what she's trying to do... I'm just unsure whether to classify these habits of hers as parts of the stutter or not....

She was part of the Starfish Programme, but decided that trying to control the speech wasn't for her....

Please don't change it....

didn't know this thing existed ...

From what I hear here, I can't quite figure out if she's using _method_ or just _tricks_. I hear some "piggyback" maneuvers which are rather forced, and some "dodging" which sounds like avoidance. But...

>I have to sit down with my dad and say my name over and over again until "I learn to say it". Never once have I had a conversation with him without hearing "slow down," "focus", or any other bulls...

Hm that's interesting, mines kinda just random no "certain" sounds make me do it any more or less than any other sounds at any time...

See, I don't have issues just because It's my name. Any name like Holly or Emily or Erik or Anna does it for me. It's the vowel sound in general....

Sadly, my middle name is Elektra which is just as difficult to say. I'm thinking about adding Demetria as a middle name and keeping Ylvie....

I feel your pain, and I think just about every stutterer does about the name thing. But about changing it... Honestly I wouldn't because it's a nice name and you'll likely have the same trouble with t...

Since you love your name, do you have a middle name you can go by that's easier to say so you don't have to actually change it?...

Can't Say My Own Name.

Can't Say My Own Name. I am one of the few who stutters on vowels and h sounds with vowels after them. My birth name is Ylvie (ill-vee) which contains a very sharp vowel sound. Today an adult came up ...

Joe Biden did it apparently. He claims he used to read poetry in front of a mirror but that's pretty much an anecdotal case study. ...

Yes! Great book, very helpful for myself. I think she did a ted talk too Edit: I'm mistaken but she has other content online http://katherinepreston.com/articles/...

The movie "Glory" needs to cut the shit.

The movie "Glory" needs to cut the shit. Watched the movie Glory in history class and guess what characteristics the dim-witted person of the movie had? A stutter. No wonder why we have a hard time be...
