This piece by Harrison fundamentally changed how I thought about my blocking when I first read it some years ago now, but I always have trouble finding it when I think of it for some reason. Thanks fo...

Great article my dude.. Basically, stuttering is both neurological and psychological.. We have a predisposition to stuttering if a trauma arises..It's more like a habit, constant rumination and intrus...

Hello! People who stutter are more observant, for example what stuttering taught me is that everything is fighting a battle we know nothing about! Because we may seem like happy outside and a lot of m...

This happened to me when I was 15. I stuttered and all of a sudden I had this deep fear of it and did everything possible to hide it. There are a lot of theories about the causes of stuttering so we ...

A huge part in any stutterers life is the "fakeness". Almost nobody knows a stutterers true personality. Generally shy,avoidant and fake smiling(or even fake rude) a lot because we are begging nobody ...

My patterns have changed loads over the years. I used to block on certain sounds, then on any sounds. It would be worse when stressed or anxious or in certain situations like using the phone or with f...

You would probably just use pseudostuttering (fake stuttering like a non-stuttering actor would do) and use your past knowledge of how stuttering sounds and feels to portray it better than a non-stutt...

I think the key is to figure out how to just be yourself as a stutterer. For me this meant coming to terms with stuttering being a part of me, and getting more comfortable with stuttering in front of ...

As tough as it sounds, just owning the stutter and doing your best to be yourself is key here. My stutter was awful the year I was graduating high school. I’m a senior in college now and it’s still pr...

100%. There's science behind this too. Human beings by default naturally want congruence. That means they want you to stay the same, in the box they have figuratively put you in. That box shapes y...

it used to be a blessing! i remember the first time trying it yearsssss ago. I felt like a new person, stripped back from all the nerves etc. I went around my friends in mcdonalds asking if they wante...

I think the general verdict is that stuttering isn't a lack of speech skill. It's just rather that when we carry out our speech, stutter gets in the way - and not because we're bad at it. We do know h...

Absolutely nothing. Me and my parents literally denied it. I would try to get round my stuttering by building a large vocab of substitute words. Sometimes I would close my eyes in the middle of a co...

This is a great mindset to be in. Glad you are here. But in my experience, trying to "forget about your stutter" will cause you more pain and stuttering. As this means you are putting energy into st...

I’m not single, I have a wonderful family. Once I discovered how to just be myself, and how to kind of let other people in, I was never single again for very long. After this I had to learn how to tre...

The most useful thing for me was just practicing talking in a very calm, softer voice than how I actually speak. I talk in that way whenever someone new speaks to me, otherwise I drop it and talk like...

Yes exactly. I also think it's very intertwined with our self esteem. That's why I became a perfectionist when I was younger. I thought that if I accomplished a lot I would become more confident and t...

Hey mate,I can completely relate to your struggles.Are you fluent in some scenarios like recording yourself alone or speaking to someone in particular?I think that it is imperative for you to experime...

Bro I feel like you gotta take the hard painful road, not the easy road. Stutter more and be yourself! Stop dumbing yourself down to conform. Just fucking stutter and be your wonderful unique self. Wh...

I feel like you’re already passed the scary part. You’ve been seeing him and spending time with him. The fact that your stutter isn’t prevalent around him probably just means you’re pretty comfortable...
