Nothing. I go to medical school and i talk everyday with patients, introducing myself to new profesors, and I block sometimes but I don't care about it so much like before. I try to be nice, gentle wi...

No its not. Not even close. I'm referring to AI, brain interfaces, etc. It needs to advance and people need to become more interested in researching stuttering, which I don't think has anything to do ...

>Her acceptance is she will always have a stutter and everything that comes with it per her journal.  This is acknowledgement rather than acceptance. But your frustrations are totally justified as m...

Learning how to live with my stutter was the best thing I could've ever done.

Learning how to live with my stutter was the best thing I could've ever done. - Hey everyone. Three months ago I had a lot of horrible moments where I'd stutter a lot whether if it was when talking to...

I disagree. Stuttering can not be treated. It can only be managed and reduced. It's this denialism that is causing people suffering that they think that some new idea or method will spark a full bl...

Acceptance leads to people identifying with their stutter, leaving them resistant to treatment. Treatment would mean they are fundamentally changing their identity and people don't want that. Then thi...

That's how I think of acceptance too. It's important because it protects people from snake oil salesmen who claim you can "cure" your stutter....

We are being silenced by the pendulum swing from one terrible set of SLP beliefs (treating dysfluency like it’s an articulation disorder) to another (toxic positivity of “just accept” without givin...

You can do it! I am in medical school, also stutter(blocks) and talk to patients every day. It is hard sometimes but i want to accept my problem and love life normaly....

I'd rather someone who is thorough in the stuttering community rather than reductionist thinking like those that advocate for acceptance as the path forward....

Such a great question. I'll take it a step further and say that what they are advocating for is an admission that those researchers have no idea what to do. They're all out of ideas, while simultaneou...

Something I always always always say is acceptance doesn’t mean enjoyment. Acceptance means that you are aware it’s apart of your life (whether good or bad way) and you are doing what’s best for you i...

I think it’s someone that cares about you or cares about the fact it can be difficult to communicate sometimes. They are saying it’s ok…I think you are great just the way you are. It really makes no d...

It all depends on inner personality and past trauma. I have a friend that’s supermodel stunning, works out daily, eats rights, meditates, church, even therapy. She still can’t see what I see. It’s de...

I've been where you are. I've attempted suicide 3 times, the first time at 13, and the last time at 24, which ended up with me in the hospital for a week and in an involuntary pysch ward for 3 weeks. ...

One must imagine Sisyphus happy Trust me. I know. Now 42 and so much of my life is exactly as you describe. Those five words are from Camus. It's the only philosophy I hold to these days. It saved...

Stammering is a curse. But don't worry every feeling is temporary. You will find happiness some other day. I also used to feel humiliated everyday but as time passed I made peace with it. I hope you'l...

Doesn't work for everyone. I've been lifting for 10 years and my stutter is still the same. But at least I look better....

This is so true and, apart from coming from an already musical family, I think it’s why I gravitated towards singing at an early age. The one place I can express myself with no struggle!...

Such a positive outlook. My son who has severe stutter is also like this. He is the top student in his class and doesn’t let his stutter get in the way. He has always owned his stutter and doesn’t car...
