Thank you for your kind post. I’m good. I enjoyed a 54 year marriage to an executive,the most amazing man I’ve ever known. We raised two wonderful and successful children. After a lifetime of attempt...

EVENT: Let’s Talk: Self Love and Stuttering – What’s the Connection? Hello fellow stutterers! I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to get the word out that Canadian Stuttering Association is hos...
Yes I agree. My speech therapist explained to me that whilst fluency isn’t the overall goal, stuttering with confidence and accepting the fact that sometimes it will happen is the goal. She also expla...
For me, I think it depends on how severe it is. I’ve been to NSA meetings with people who could barely speak due to their stutter. Meanwhile I feel self conscious because I go “d-d-d-d” or “g-g-g-g” s...
The UK definition is: >You’re disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal da...
Take this example: there was a speech therapist and researcher who stuttered.. she stuttered at an intermediate to mild level. She stuttered as a child and even at age 17. but then some few years late...
First, I'm so sorry for your experience. I ask myself how reasonably educated adults can traumatize their children to that extent. I'm sure my parents contributed to the lifelong stuttering. They ini...
That’s fair! Some people who are more on the “severe” side don’t really have the ability to conceal the fact that they stutter. Sure, they can work to reduce the amount of stuttering but they have to ...
Desire Causes Suffering
Desire Causes Suffering Something that has helped me in my journey of acceptance is embracing the Buddhist method of realizing that desire causes suffering. All of us want to be fluent in the beginn...
Something that worked for me that my therapist told me, was doing deep belly breathing for a few minutes couple of times a day. Also search mouth muscle relaxing exercises. I know everyone's stutter...
No, I was so worried about knowing the material I didn't care if I stuttered. It was 3 people questioning me, 10 questions but each question was a big subject that they then delve into and ask furthe...
The challenging thing about Emily Blunt is that we hardly ever hear her actually stutter. Of course, it's completely valid for a person who stutters to naturally have a lower stuttering frequency, but...
Aslong as you got hobbies or interests there are people out there. I stutter often when talking to new people because its anxious but after the first sentence of them being shocked they treat you like...
I think this is a good place for a few of these questions. OP is obviously very frustrated. It is a good opportunity to educate someone on the difference between a stutter and awkward social behaviour...
this is the wrong reddit group, please go somewhere else to take out your fustration. I know that guy is also in wrong position for other bad social behaviours but stuttering is not in his control. ...
It's all about perspective. Lamenting over society's inability to "accept" us isn't healthy. You'll be surprised how much control we have over our quality of life. Yes, we are abnormal, but it doesn...
What book are you planning on reading to improve or accept your stuttering?

Interestingly, people that I talked to on the discord before that told me they never tried therapy and wondered if they were missing out actually seemed to have found their way really well. Of course...
Thank you for your comment. I have truly been fortunate. There’s no reason you can’t also be. Your stuttering is a small part of you. It doesn’t define or limit your character. Those worthy of you wil...
