Agree with everything you're saying, excellent post. I can't force my body to not fear stuttering. Like you say, this reaction have to be updated by repeated experiences of control/breathing. It's li...

It's definitely the way to go mate. People don't react to your stutter, they react to how you react to your stutter. If you accept it and are OK with it. They will be too. It's a snowballing affect....

You'll make it through. I'm going through a phase of not being able to start words that start with L. What I've been trying to do to help my anxiety and calm me is I keep telling myself to be unapolog...

From experience, yes. I was stuttering from about the same age as you until about a year or two ago, 23-24ish. It was a gradual taper off from my late teens into my twenties, and I think it was largel...

Certainly confidence helps reduce stuttering. My theory is that it is a reason many stutterers experience relief as they get older. When we are older, we are generally more comfortable in our own sk...

I agree with everything you said. Except for the thing about "something about communication triggers stuttering". Stuttering depends on if you feel safe to express yourself authentically. Meaning de...

I've come to realize attempts to completely eradicate it are too forceful and short-lasting. You may reach a new high, but you also get a new low. If you were to accept it, chances are you would stil...

First off, I'm sorry you're having a bad time of it. Truly. But you're putting everything on your stutter. You're giving it more power than it deserves. The good news is that you *can* start a new l...
