First I want to say that I get you. I’ve also felt this all my life. I’m 24 now, and I have just started what I think the most tranformatory journey of my life. I am just now, at age 24, starting to m...

"Tim used his knowledge to go from having a very severe stutter to his current way of talking. Clearly, it’s effective in some way." Yes agree. "What stigma is Tim perpetuating? " \- anxiety, shame...

The problem I think is that you have an uncomfortable relationship with your own sense of identity. I struggle with the same thing and believe many people that stutter do. That’s what I believe the re...

Well, gee! We totally agree again but I totally misread your comment! My apologies. It really shines a light on how strong the shame of blocks can be. You can achieve an internationally powerful p...

For me, I think it’s this “desire” to be helpful and please other people and being ever polite so they’ll find it in their hearts to look the other way when I stutter. Constantly putting myself down w...
