>So why give someone a fantasy that might not be possible. Why give someone a fatalist fantasy that it's not possible (when many people already proved it)? And why do you assume I wasn't a severe ...

I wholeheartedly disagree and I think this is terrible advice for anyone with a stutter. You have no idea if someone else doesnt have to be a severe stutterer. Some people will always be severe s...

I feel the same way. You are not alone in these thoughts. I allow it to hold me back so much in life— professionally, romantically . It’s a rollercoaster though. Some days I’m like so thankful to be a...

I used to feel the same way. My stutter held me back from so many opportunities. What if I told you you can get rid of stuttering. Would you believe me? I got rid of mine. No magic pill or anything j...

Does anyone else feel like they've robbed of their life because of their stuttering?
