I came to a similar conclusion after going to an intensive speech therapy program and being basically 100% fluent for about 6 months. I was still deathly afraid of talking to people because I didn't b...

Yeah, I agree with that outlook. As I previously noted to two commenters: "Look at it this way: The more voluntary control you exhibit over your habits and tendencies and other areas outside of stutt...

Definitely. And seeing how much harder they are to overcome compared to stuttering itself, I would focus on these externalities more than the stuttering itself if I were to have a child with stutterin...

I am in a relationship and my fluency sortve depends. Some days i don’t stutter at all and some days it’s terrible but my bf has gotten pretty used to it. At first he seemed worried when it happened b...

You're already doing the right things and asking the right questions. I've been in speech therapy since I was around his age as well (31 now) and it really does help, though it's possible and likely i...

First of all, you should literally write books. I’m being serious. Your story telling, grammar, and attention to detail story telling is impeccable . I can tell you like writing because somebody that...

I , 77year old female who found true love with a wonderful professional man who proudly presented me in every circumstance. We were married for 54 years. His acceptance of my stuttering was instrument...

Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It'll happen when it happens. Take an art class, painting class, whatever interests you, and you'll find someone on that journey. I met the one on a blind d...

Hey ! I'm in my 20s and I met my gf 2 years and my stutter is not a problem in my relationship ! I have a light/mild stutter so it's not very visible when I try to mask it but I talked about that wit...

hey, i’m 17f and completely have felt the same way. i especially remember thinking about my stutter in the future and wondering (maybe hoping) if it would ever go away as i got older. especially in ti...

It is a vicious cycle indeed, but it can be overcome! Mine is also purely psychological, and I realized pretty early on that the mere *anticipation* of an incoming stutter is what causes it. Self-co...

You can change a stutter. But not if you don't try. And certainly not when you know it is impossible. I used to know that I'd always stutter. I learned better....

What you’re saying makes much more sense than advice like, “Place your tongue this way or that way to pronounce the word more easily,” etc. Anyway, I’ll take note of what you’re saying and Thank you! ...

Pretending to be someone else even when saying the same thing has an interesting effect like it's changing what the mind thinks is the scary part and processes something different instead, even if the...

Actually I don't do practice it anymore for that exact reason. I think there are better ways to prep for a day like positive affirmations but even that I don't do anymore and just remember what it ma...

I saw his video and really enjoyed it! The part about seeing the lion/tiger and being too afraid to say anything really stuck with me and that's a part of what makes me think it's a physical manifest...

Practicing reading aloud (or other techniques) like you do, I’m not sure if it could be beneficial in the long term because at home, we’re in a “safe” space, similar to when we’re with a speech therap...

I really wish i had a solve all answer for you but if i or someone else did then this sub would be just a bunch of people that USED to stutter. Practice practice practice! Word substitution is great a...

People in the comment section who are saying it's not curable are actually dumb man. It's actually curable man its not that much difficult I will tell how I overcome my hardcore stutter. Main thing is...

The last bit is pretty fascinating seeing it in such a perspective. And to add to the psychological discussion, even if the manifestation is more than just how we feel, the severity of it and lasting...
