I'm no doctor or pharmacist but I have honestly read posts on this community of stuttering doctors still going for their career path and being confident despite having a stutter. They can still smile ...

Hey, I saw that my post was down voted. Not sure if it was you. But want to be clear that if somebody doesn’t have any speech techniques, then I totally understand why they see being covert as the bes...

Congrats! At the end of the day, you got it out of the way and I think it’s a major testament that it’s only our fearful and negative mindsets that pulls us from making that talk when most people prob...

You're welcome. One other thing... We're all still growing and maturing. I expect you're a much different person than you were three or five years ago. If that's true, you can expect to experience s...

thank you, ive been trying to just not really focus on my stutter and not make it such a big deal...

Yep! That is the explanation I also got for the temporary fluent period. Thanks for commenting! I will try my best to explain. The whole point of the post was mainly to outline how stuttering affects...

We all hate our stutter and that is why we all still stutter. We have to accept it and stop trying so hard no to stutter, this is what causes it. It’s a vicious cycle that will never end unless we cha...

I enjoyed reading your post! I also believe that the process of healing for stuttering anxiety is more effectively done through professional help, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as you have men...

Oh and also to note, I too tried the acceptance thing and it's way too difficult. Especially because I can hide my stutter so well. I have gotten to the point where I am a stutter avoider still but I ...

Couldn’t agree with you more. I went through this in my own journey and once I truly stopped giving a fuck about what other people think, it not only minimized my stutter to what it is now, a mild dis...

Well, striving to be happy, relaxed and passionate sounds like a great way to live, and if your speech is better in the process, that's a double win (or quadruple win, whatever). Like you, my speech...

On my 40th birthday, I named mine "Oscar- the grouch". He would pop up 24/7 with the most hateful, negative and egregious remarks. He controlled my life for 35 years until I gave him a name and the...

Stopping negative thoughts about stuttering

My 2 cents: I've had 20 years of speech therapy and I went from 0% fluency to 80% (through very hard work and practice). What I learned (and this truly changed my life) is that I constantly worrie...

Ask yourself if you would hate or judge other people for what you hate or judge yourself for. If not, then don’t allow yourself to operate from a double standard anymore. Tell your brain as a mantra...

I agree, I stuttered basically whole my life, but with practice and mindset change was still able to host online meetings, make phone calls with strangers, have a side job where communication is very ...

Nobody rejected me because I was stuttering. It's all on how you perceive the rejection. If you get rejected and say they rejected you because you're not enough, then yes of course that would cause ...

Pretending to forget what you were gunna say unconsciously causes us shame. Tell your friends that sometimes you need to just stop and breath because you stutter. Our heart and mind were designed for ...

Just do your best to not judge your speech at this time. If you’re not judging your own speech, then it will go a long way in helping your fluency. You can speak, believe that. You’re making yourself ...

It didn’t work for me but that doesn’t mean it won’t for you. I guess if you believe it will help then it will...
