I’m 19 and I have mildly improved my stuttering, but vastly improved how I feel by consciously accepting that I stutter, and I reject dwelling on any negative thoughts about it. Stuttering is kind of ...

Lean into it. View this as an opportunity, not an obstacle. Many stutterers have anxiety about public speaking. Understandably so. But if you can muster the courage to stand in front of your peers an...

Now you know the common denominator - the content of your thoughts. Master that and you'll be free and you'll never feel the need to think in terms of "good and bad periods"....

Honestly, you need to just go out there and try. When I watched the king's speech when it came out, I never imagined myself that someone would want me but I was with someone for almost 5 years, and it...

Ummmmmmmm, fun fact, I've just had an interview, and had no issues. I hope you can get rid of your old thinking eventually. If she doesn't accept you with your stutter, you just move on, simple as tha...

Again, nothing changes if you’re asking what ifs. It seems the biggest issue you have to deal with is not your stutter but your mindset. You are capable, you just have to believe in yourself. Also tha...

I am a believer in positive self talk. Even if you believe you are ugly, you should stop saying it. You might eventually stop thinking that about yourself. I am not really sure what else to say. I sin...

I have stumbled on this reasoning really recently actually. THIS IS SUCH A COINCIDENCE. This needs to be TAUGHT at every speech class/therapy. Just work to STOP CARING about your stutter. Don’t dwell ...
