I try to live my life like I don't stutter. Never miss an opportunity....

The biggest realization I've had in my journey to overcoming stuttering is that.. 👉 I can already express myself effortlessly. When I'm in a room by myself or with people I am very very comfortabl...

I'm happy to hear that declaring your stutter helps you. It 100% does for me too(and somehow works!) but lately, Im starting to think that doing so will leave a "bad" first impression on the person yo...

I get your point, but I choose to believe that any kind of mental somersaults when talking that are not wholly necessary are a manifestation of stuttering....

I get your point, but then again, anything we do to cover up stuttering is in itself a form of stuttering....

Have you ever “forgot” to stutter?

>If you are over eighteen and still stutter, you will likely have a stutter for the rest of your life, even after speech therapy Is this referring to so-called 'developmental' PWS？What if I starte...

Thanks for sharing your research. I really like the work by Chris Constantino. He is a PwS and SLP. He talks about spontaneity - high effort + high attention = low spontaneity and low effort + low at...

Face your fear. I've said it before here, don't let your stutter make your decisions for you. Every time we avoid something because of our stutter, it's death by a thousand cuts. Whether it's an even...

They might be covert at school, but more comfortable to express themselves and risk stuttering at home....
