Realistically, I would realize most of my speech “issues” have nothing to do with fluency and everything to do with trauma. In other words, my speech would be “cured” but the psychological byproduct...

This is incorrect and doesn't apply to all PWS. I'm a severe stutterer who stutters in all situations, every day, on every word. I do not have days or situations where I am "fluent" (though I can be r...

Hi, Resident_Frame, I think you are referring to my comment that I still talk to myself? We’ll, I stuttered most of my life age 5-70. Because we stutterers often don’t stutter when talking to ourselve...

This! The amount of time and mental energy I spent trying to “cure” my stutter or hide it … smh I ended up feeling like a complete failure every day. This is just my experience, but after 20 years of ...

I completely agree with the point OP is making. I’ve tried to be positive and say f*ck it and just deal with it. I’ve tried to accept it. But what happens is, you start to believe these sugar coated t...

I’m a huge proponent of “stop trying to hide”, which is something I only finally out after age 40. I spent SO much time and energy in my life focused on how I’m different and how I can try to trick my...

Any other singers out there?

Any other singers out there? So a big reason I got into songwriting was because I could express myself without stuttering. My singing was totally fluent for years, and then my stutter seemed to jump i...

Wow... first and foremost that really sucks. I'm sorry. We humans get pretty stupid when we're confused. Stuttering confuses people and what comes next is what we would call a knee jerk reaction - a ...

I know exactly what you mean. This is easier said than done, but I’ve found a lot of success recently in expecting and accepting that I will stutter instead of trying to fight it or desperately hoping...

If by methods you mean techniques, we didn't do those. Instead I had an individual road map based on the core principles of the therapy. It primarily involved undoing all the junk that had developed i...

I feel this too. I don’t have a scientific answer but I feel like I can “turn it off” and just be fully myself without trying to be fluent around my parents and close family. When I’m with acquaintanc...

I fully recovered from stuttering at the age of 70 through psychotherapy. My lifelong stuttering was emotionally caused by my abusive childhood. Nevertheless, I spent my life avoiding the looks in oth...

I know these feelings so intimately. It started in 4th grade with me running out of a classroom and hiding until the end of the day, and it still stays present in my life now. For what it's worth, the...

Lol I kept it real with people on this subreddit and was attacked because people kept being optimistic to the point where it was kissing non stutterers ass. "Oh accept me for who I am", that's all bs...

>*One thing that always struck me as odd/funny is that I don't ever recall stuttering when needing to tell someone that they can fuck right off. Anyone have similar experiences?* Wendell Johnson (...

I’ve known this but it sounds super fucked up and I never wanted to mention it because of how counterintuitive it sounds to this sub....

i feel the exact same way. i can’t watch videos of other people stuttering, makes me cringe and feel idk just weird. It’s absolutely nothing against the person, i guess it’s just because i know that’s...

It's not you, this happens to the majority of people who go through a fluency shaping program. You don't want to do it because it feels inauthentic and it sucks. It reinforces shame that stuttering is...

You’re doing good. Sure the blocks get in the way but it also comes w genuine energy of coming off a bit timid and she might be attracted to that authenticity. End of the day its you and you will alwa...
