I also attended the 3 week program twice. It helped, and after the program I was much more fluent. But, if you don't keep up with the work the results will quickly disappear. I also think that althoug...

I really have to agree with you, the avoiding something because of it makes it so much worse. I think part of the reason mine has improved with age is that I'm less anxious about all these situations....

Mate, what I have isn't courage. It is simply: The fear of doing what has to be done to overcome stuttering < The fear of my stutter causing me to avoid and miss out on life. ...

Wish I had your courage dude. ...

Positive: Friends - I have a great set of close friends who I know will be there for me no matter what. They have put up with my severe stutter (sometimes being unable to get out anything for over a ...

I have attended the three week intensive programme twice. I travelled to Canada from Australia for it because I knew I needed a intensive programme to make progress, and at the time there weren't any ...

It stresses me out, but I also think a little quicker on my feet. I also have this super power- it's made me really good at being likeable. Nothing worse than someone with a speech impediment AND a ba...

It's only when I'm thinking about it that it becomes really bad. If I'm just talking than I can go on without so much as a stammer regardless of my mood. I wouldn't be surprised if every person is dif...

Has anyone on here participated in University of Alberta's iStar program?

Has anyone on here participated in University of Alberta's iStar program? if so, I was wondering how you felt it has helped you long term? Did you seek it out because of the lack of qualified therapi...

Christ dude. I've also been in that frame of mind (albeit for different reasons), and all I can say to you is that it gets better. If you ever need to talk, definitely mail me, I'd be more than happy ...

It has made me suicidal. Nothing good has come from my stuttering and never will....

I'm sorry you had such a shitty experience in school! At least it's made you who you are and you're happy with that :) Do you ever pause trying to say your name, and then get accused of lying? That h...

i also don't like phones haha but in a negative way it affected me is that in my younger years it made me stop talking, i was always outgoing and friends with everyone, always talking. when i got to ...

How much of a negative (or positive) impact has your stutter/stammer had on your life?

How much of a negative (or positive) impact has your stutter/stammer had on your life? Today I was interviewed by a guy who's writing a book on stammers/stutters. I'm a 22 year old female, in college,...

In school, half the teachers didn't ask me to read out loud, the other half always did. I wasn't bothered either way. For my college presentations, I have requested to do them in private, and there's ...

If he only stuttered until he was 8, I dont think he had a true stutter. Many children have speaking difficulties that can last into adolescence. I forgot the stats but like 20% or something of childr...

i agree with the genetics part. but i think if i didn't lose my two front teeth i would've been able to outgrow it, like my grandpa did. he only stuttered til he was 8. ...

i doubt it. There's a definite genetic link. The tooth thing didnt cause your stuttering. I might have inhibited some disfluencies, but that is not why you stutter....
