Stuttering is only one facet of ourselves. Many of us believed that we were doomed to be socially, educationally, and economically relegated to lives of quiet desperation. That’s not true unless allo...

PWS feel like they are “On” when they are speaking to people, especially unfamiliar people. They feel like they are faking it like you say. And there’s this weird dynamic of the harder you try or anti...

Thank you. This comment means a lot to me, really. I sort of figured. It's worse when I'm aware of it & consequently begin thinking "don't stutter". If I don't care, it just goes about on its own and ...

I feel guilty that I'm making people listen to me when I stutter. I also feel guilty that I take longer to say what I want to say. Another commenter mentioned that they feel shame. I feel a lot of ...

I feel you. I have been stuttering since I can remember. One day I said fuck it, and started to improve myself. It took a lot of time(2 years) and a lot of disciplined effort. I can explain all about ...

I don't use any techniques for speaking. These "feared" words are an imagination in your head. It is that way because you have had trouble with them in the past, due to other reasons. Now you associat...

The stuttering mind stuff that occurs is mind boggling maybe just as much as the stuttering itself. It comes as a package for most PWS. I don’t stutter but as an SLP have worked with scores who do. Wh...
