No offense, but if you're still only an slp student you probably have a long way to go before you understand stuttering. I say this knowing a lot of slps, even ones with a focus on stuttering who don'...

Stuttering on words isn't such a big deal but blocking is an avoidance behavior. You said your biggest fear is it getting worse to the point where you can't speak to anyone. I advice is when you feel ...

I should probably mention that if the problem doesn't get better, I am considering dropping out of school since I don't see a lawyer-career being compatible with my problem :/...

Good luck! :)...

I'll keep you posted. Gonna sleep on it and decide tomorrow....

Thanks that helped quite a bit. I'll try to push myself....

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 don't think anybody knew that I stuttered by the time I was in high school; I was very internalized. That being said, having a teacher openly talk about stuttering in from of my class would have be...

That is definitely a different paradigm than I'm used to, I've always tried to hide it. It seems to be echoed throughout this post though, so it's obviously something worth looking into. Thanks! ...

I teach at a university. Right now I'm teaching online, via webcam. I'm open about my stuttering and ask my students to let me know if it ever gets in the way. Other than that I talk and stutter openl...

Imagine the roll you could play in a young stutterers life.... I wish I had a teacher that stuttered and owned it when I was in high school. They might know you stutter, but do they actually know what...

All good. I'm actually comfortable with my stutter typically. It only becomes a problem when other people make it one....

Stuttering isn't something to feel ashamed about. Not saying that you are, that's just what I take from your comment here. Trying to make yourself not stutter internally, by whatever means, is not goi...
