Alright man, I'll try to address each of your questions seperately so it's easy for you to read. * "how and when did you get a stutter and how many years do you live with that ": I've been stammering...

100% Spot on. Stop having "Brain Sex!" (screwing with your own mind.) and get on with life vs. having a personal pity party, see the challenge(s) figure out how to work through or around it/them and k...

The loop is not initiated by “stutter”, it is initiated by the “desire to be fluent”. Because we try to be seen as a fluent/normal person, we do everything to avoid stuttering. If we would accept that...

After a significant stuttering episode I try to reflect about the fact atleast I put myself out there and I didnt hide from it. Maybe a year earlier I wouldn't have done it at all. Sometimea that st...

Starting a new job is always scary!!! Whenever I’m nervous about something I try to change my mindset from “I’m nervous” to “I’m excited”. For me, it helps me feel the heightened level of emotion with...

For a moment I thought I made this post, because I'm also starting my (first) job tomorrow! But I have this habit of not freaking out until the day of, so I'm just relaxing today 😅...

IMO, (and based on personal exp.) it sounds like "fear of the unknown" and you're letting your imagination take you for a ride.... STOP... start taking long slow breathes and focus on your body relax...

I think they’ll surprise you! I’m sure lots of celebrities have had to overcome fears in terms of public speaking, doing interviews and having tons of impromptu conversations with people. Yeah, people...

I feel like you could be on to something. I've always found that when I would have big changes in my life, my stutter would flare up. Moving school, moving countries, moving parents places. Ever...

Right good point! All of my suffering is from the way I view the speech impediment haha BUT I have been taking a program, improving my speech, and blocking less. I’m also less concerned about blocking...

Don’t get me wrong. I never said it was an easy path. Sorry if I made it seem like an oversimplification. I’ve had dark times as well. It really is all about how you view stuttering and I understand t...

Perspective

Perspective I’m sure there’s many of you who have asked yourself why me? We realize that we can be at a disadvantage at times and stuttering can interfere with our everyday lives. There’s days where i...

New to this

New to this I have grown up with a pretty intense stutter, I’m a barber/hairdresser now. But I remember being a kid with a stutter and I used to have to other people order food for me. My siblings got...

Same here, I like to use the example of having stutters sing to themselves. I sing a lot to myself more and more now and I find it good practice to dictate my speech more effectively. I think when pe...

You can 100% do it. Without any sliver of doubt. Not only will it be amazing for your speech because you constantly have speaking opportunities, but more importantly, it's something you want to do. ...

I totally agree. I don't want to be the one to sit in a corner and hide. I have one life and I'm going to live it without fear. Easier said than done but I consider this a great start. Thankyou!!...

Hang in there. It really does get better. But seriously, the best thing you can do is announce it flat out. Take power of it. It’s terrifying but once you do it once, twice is easier. Then it’s no big...

Hell yeah! Truer words have never been spoken on this thread. I rock my stutter and if somebody has a problem with it they can walk away while I'm talking....

Another well done video man. Solid tips! When I embraced tip 1, things got remarkably better for me in all aspects. The less I cared and just took my stutter for what it is, the less it stressed me ou...

I agree with you 100% and loved the video. It took me 40 years to truly let go of judgement (mine and others) and it’s the only thing that’s worked for me. I think of myself as a Rorschach test and un...
