Totally awesome! This is the way, 100%! I feel that one of the things we HAVE to do in order to one day reach a normal state of fluency, is learning how to transcend this fear to stutter, or fear...

Thank you for the thorough response; it seems as though this is pretty relative to my situation. If only there was a way to reframe the narrative or rewire my brain at age 25...

You don’t need to make it your identity in order to accept it. Acceptance doesn’t have to mean you stop working on your stutter either. You’ve had a bad week, how were the other weeks since you’ve b...

Complete and utter desensitization and destigmatizing of your stutter. Thinking about your stutter ‘primes’ (or warms up) the stuttering part of your brain, making you more likely to stutter. It’s a s...

There's a lot of truth to this, I think the best mentality to have is "I'll try again tomorrow and I believe it will work" and when we mess up we try again later tomorrow. It keeps you positive and ma...
