Should I list my stuttering as a weakness in job interviews? Hi, I've got an interview tomorrow for a legal assistant role. I'm pretty stressed out about it since it would be amazing experience but as...
It's on the website I linked below, along with lots of other great resources. I suggest starting with the first episode of the podcast, as it's enjoyable to listen to a PWS speaking so pleasantly, ...
My blocks basically vanished when I learned to stop thinking that “it was a win when people didn’t notice my repetitions”. My repetitions are now super rare and they easily transition into the next...
I had the waves too, and think I know why. If blocks happen bc of trying to hide it, after a few weeks of increasingly terrible(noticeable!) dysfluency, my brain accepted hiding it had become impossi...
It's a weird, crazy journey having a disfluency. Everyone has bad days and better days and it's incredibly cathartic to vent....you're doing the right thing. We are all on our own individual journey....
Basically taught me that blocks happen bc of fear, trying to hide repetitions and trying too hard to push through a repetition. By doing the opposite of what I had been doing, I’ve gone from 100’s o...
Tom, about a year ago, I was in a group-style hospital recovery room and my nurse had forgotten to give me the call button. So, after I woke up, I lay behind the curtain for god knows how long, unabl...
You have to embrace it.. The sooner you do the better. It would drive me insane if I thought about my stuttering that hard lol. 😂 It may get better as you age. I got my stuttering upgrade at age ...
>just explain to someone right away that I have a speech impediment this is what I also do. If I hide my condition to someone, my blocks will eventually lead to some misunderstanding that will cos...
How do you not let stutter hold you back? It’s so easy for me to just isolate myself and avoid speaking and it seems like that is better than stuttering and embarrassing myself…...
Yeah. I don't get as stressed as I used to, though. I would usually refuse to ask the questions on Trivial Pursuit. Once my friend wanted us all to play a game which involved loads of talking. When I ...
Please try to see that there are different types/intensities of stutters. 1. Repetitions/prolongations that smoothly transition to your next sound. 2. More frequent repetitions/prolongations that...
Thank you for your question. What I found in the MCguire books is this: >Fear of being perceived as insane versus desire to be perceived as sane: A stammerer using lots of tricks and avoidances no...
This is me. I mean i have friends that accepts me but whenever we hang out, i would like myself to be the one that creates a topic, cracking jokes with them, talking to strangers and stuff. But usuall...
I had a long period of time with bad stuttering events being constant. I would say I am getting better recently because I’m forcing myself to talk more without hesitating. Usually I think about words ...
My parents took me in to the doctor immediately when I began stuttering at age 4/5 because they were concerned. He just shrugged it off and didn’t ask any questions. Nothing about how I feel about it,...
Good response. By now for me after years of trying to hide the fact I stutter, my brain cannot simply “not hold back”....

Are you ready for the step that comes after "i'm done trying to hide it?" I was so good at "hiding" my stutter, a family friend who's a SLP had no clue. But after years, I developed debilitating blo...
