Glad you liked it. :) On review a day later I thought I should add one thing: While my efforts to lean in to and own my dysfluency have helped a lot with how I feel about it in regards to feelings...

Think about how you forget things in general....for example, what did you eat for dinner two weeks ago from today? Obviously if you try really hard you might remember, but 99% of the time you will h...

I hear you. I was married in 2008. Intimate ceremony in Italy with family and friends. About 35 of us so I can relate to you. I’m Irish btw… And so, to challenge myself, I opted for the last speech. ...

Man I get it. When something like that happens it sets you back far, but you can’t give that mind. Just keep learning to accept your stutter and yourself. Its a battle, I know, but you have to stay st...

That’s the magic of my suggestions! You don’t have to overcome your beliefs - I certainly didn’t when I first started to change. Just take a baby step by making one phone call and doing one voluntar...

that's great. you seem very determined to overcome what you have learnt to believe about yourself over the years, it's inspiring. I have a face that I want to present to the world, and there is disso...

Every time I stop by this subreddit I'm amazed how we all have the exact same experiences and fears and embarrassing situations like OP but more importantly how we all deal with them internally and ex...

In Mcguire they also teach this DD. The reason why the mcguire program doesn't work for many people as they start to hide their stutter. So the goal is to be a so-called "normal speaker" Normal speake...

You are sooooo close to getting it! If you switch your goal from “making them feel super bad about something they are clueless about” to realizing “oh my god, disclosing is THE thing that makes me fl...

Some of us have become *experts* at hiding the struggle. This is why many people do not realize the immense struggle (physical and emotional) we go through to even get our own names out. I’m even go...

I've seen this video and its been helpful for me as well OP. I used to be crazy anxious about stammering as well. Long story short I've gone through some life changes and I am now in a career that re...

Whenever this happens I say things like "What, you never met someone with brain trauma caused by a drunk driver before??" Or (because I'm old enough) "Yeah they never were able to get all the shrapn...

I have my reasons to openly stutter. I used to be covert but I'm trying to be more open these days because I noticed what my face does when I try to get through blocks so hard. An angry face even thou...

My stammering is pretty much completely covert. As such, when I have confided in others, I have been met with “you don’t stammer” or something along those lines. Avoidances have been a central feature...

I used to really struggle with it but now I try to never avoid words, and will even purposely use my more difficult words to practice them. Being covert is difficult because every time you don’t use...

Ooh I think your on something, I do now think I subconsciously stop trying when speaking to people who know about the stutter Cus idk I might think it’s to late or something and I’m maybe to obsessed ...
