That’s also a really interesting perspective. I’m 17 and my stutter was the very worst when I was 10 to 14 years old. My speech just sorta gradually got a little better, I don’t know what triggered it...

I may misunderstand your point. This sounds like the "just accept" the stutter narrative. That narrative is too black and white. My 13 year-old client, Mick, feared his name and every work start...

From what I hear it works for a lot of people. For me however, I cant seem to bring myself to do it in a high stakes situation because I can be reasonable fluent. I think it desensitizes you from th...

Most people get voluntary stuttering wrong. They think it's something you do to reduce fear so you don't stutter as much. Voluntary stuttering has little to do with fluency or lessening stuttering. It...
