I agree with the OP in the sense attitude and perspective is everything. Negative thoughts are at the core of stuttering....

I think that because seeing other people who stutter is so rare we think our version of stuttering is the only one. For me, if I push through it, practice my techniques and get out there are start usi...

My SLP told me she once had a client who was over 50 years old who finally came to see her because they were sick of feeling like a dishonest person. Their spouse of 20 or so years and children had n...

Glad someone else posted this - was just about to! ...

Despite all the criticism of your criticism, your post did help me to get out of my feelings, so thanks for that. I don't have anything meaningful to say, but I am just going to comment on getting cau...

I think everyone here is on their own journey regarding their stutter, and I would assume some self-loathing is part of that journey. I would like to think this community is a little bit more support...

My point was this is our lot in life. We need to take what we are dealt and work with it. Others have it a hell of a lot worse than us....

With a post like that, I have to wonder if you've ever worked in the theatre business....

Username checks out...

I can take criticism and can accept harsh realities, but I think this post is misunderstanding people who stutter altogether. The simple truth is, you can't assign a method or behavior to cope with st...

I can see that your post is about convincing yourself that stuttering isn't a huge deal. Some people rant online because for most of them it is the only place that they can express themselves comfort...

Well said. But I never understood the comparison of disorders that I too often see. How does someone else being a quadriplegic help a stutterer feel better about their situation? I don't know about o...

Telling someone who is obviously struggling greatly with their stutter to shut up while debasing them is not helping and is not what this forum is here for. You may think you're giving them a wake up ...
