I'm one of the people that voted "would stay the same" And I have to say its not because I've had it easier, its because of how I view my stutter now. Your perspective of your stutter is 100% up to ...

I think if I never had a stutter, the impact on what my life has become would be greater than if my stutter simply healed. My personality has changed by my stutter (one could say it's been scarred) i...

I saw some words when I went in to look for self therapy, said a sentence that you should look at your stuttering as a certain thing you have learned to do, not like something that is wrong with you or something that happens to you.

If I ever smile or laugh at my stutter it's in response to someone doing so first. I think I do it to make them feel at ease, removes tension from the room, but it makes me feel embarrassed and ashame...

I didn’t see any type of therapist until I was in my late 20s after stuttering since age 12. He was a former stutterer and approached the treatment from a psychological perspective instead of a mechan...

That’s fair. Basically, for most of us, the hardest parts come when we fight it. The more you insist on not stuttering, the harder you block, and the more pronounced your secondary behaviors are. If...

That makes me so happy. I thought no one knew about it since it’s quite old and not a perspective that’s taken seriously in speech therapy. I also discovered it years ago It validated the intuition I’...
