Accepting Your Stutter

Accepting Your Stutter ...

It's an interesting point for sure. I have a very mild to moderate stutter that really only crops on weird occasions - but primarily when I'm frustrated, or very very nervous. I've accepted the fact t...

I went to a 4 week intensive in Toronto that was based on the well known Hollins program in VA (Intensive fluency shaping program). It was basically like i described. I spoke great in that super suppo...

Sorry, I wasn't trying to advertise. I found this through [Stuttering Foundation](http://www.stutteringhelp.org/clinics-intensive) and all the clinics have similar success rates (and ~70% after a year...

This space isn't really for advertising programs to get customers, especially if you've never even tried it. To those you havent gone to fluency shaping programs before, I say don't get swayed by the...

As you know, Healthcare in the US is way more for-profit than probably any other country in the world, and as such, everything is more expensive. From my understanding, trying to get anything covered ...

I completely disagree with that "stutterers can do anything they want" mentality. It does not work for everyone, including me. I have been looking for a job in a library, I mean, the whole point is ...

Some good stuff here IMO. Speaking as someone who is now a mostly non-stuttering stutterer I like section #2. I'm the sort of guy who cared a little too much what other people think, but once I got ...

12-day Precision Fluency Shaping Program in VA ...

So much this. I regret until this day that I never did that when I was younger. It aggravted my social anxiety and made my stuttering ice berg alot bigger than it could have been. It's also a great op...

Maybe it is, I don't know. All I know is after a while of using "My name is-" I'm able to introduce myself without beginning with that. I can now say, "Jim" or "I'm Jim." without issue, in public, i...

Truck driving works alright...

This is an avoiding technique. I'm not sure it's better than actually stuttering....

I currently work as an interpretation staff member at a museum, which has me talk to people about exhibits everyday. It was difficult at first speaking to museum visitors, but forcing myself to speak...

I have worked in the supermarket filling shelves and such. Apart from the occasional question where something is I didn't have to talk at all....

I couldn't agree more. I have a moderate to severe stutter. I am working on my Doctorate in healthcare (I have to talk to patients all day) at the moment. I definitely had to confront my stutter and f...

All the most successful people in regards to their stuttering have all held jobs where they were forced to confront it. I'm not saying you have to work the the drive through line at a fast food place,...
