I became 99.9% fluent by actively disclosing my stutter. I now can say everything I want to, in the way I want to, and when I want to. There's a very good chance that your technique will work for...

Some people in this sub will just suggest you stop caring. I will not, because I'm well aware that it an unattainable goal for some. There are TANGIBLE actions you can take that are workarounds. In...

I don't think it's necessarily valuable to try to "embed in your mind there's nothing wrong with it" because having a impactful stutter means that your mind has heavily imbedded the idea \*that there ...

The truth is, that the avoiding behavior and having a goal of being a covert stutterer IS actually what makes your stutter worse. I had 2 job interviews this week. First one, I said nothing about my...

Honestly all of my partners I’ve had have understood my stutter and supported me. I was able to let people know before the first date so that it wasn’t that awkward. However, I’m still nervous about m...

Thank you so much! I was trying to get some insight from this sub before talking about it with him but I agree that it is best not to make any assumptions. I'll definitely bring it up and briefly talk...

I've had exactly the same experience, but it got better for me over time. Maybe try to get friends or family to call you unannounced every now and then? I'd also consider visiting small stores during ...

When you have a moment with him that's 1 on 1, talk about his stutter with. Make it light hearted convo but take it serious, if that makes sense. This convo could help him relax around you in the fu...

Yes it’s normal to feel this way but you have to understand that you’ll always have a stammer but it’s only a small part of who you are. I own my own business and do presentations to clients every oth...

Well, gee! We totally agree again but I totally misread your comment! My apologies. It really shines a light on how strong the shame of blocks can be. You can achieve an internationally powerful p...
