This is really hard to explain in brief but I’ll try to be as concise as possible: The most common kinds of therapy (fluency shaping) teach you ways to MANAGE your stutter so it’s almost hidden. That...

Hey! So sorry to hear about your situation. I'm a father of an almost 1 year old myself. Stuttering since age 6. Could it be that your husband's low self esteem has grown since the arrival of the...

Great reply! It wasn’t until I started working on fear and the mental aspect that I really saw significant improvement in my stutter. My therapist used to say “pretend you’re reading aloud in a roo...

Thanks for the reply! Yeah my dad is a lead at this place and my brother is just a great worker, so my last name is respected. My plan if I take the job Is for it to be a new start for me and just try...

Stutter isn't the issue. Confidence is. As a 22 yo stutterer, you're more interesting than your stutter. It is not your defining trait. Hell most people ignore it entirely. Confidence to just talk to...
