I've gotten fluent enough that it's not really an issue. When it comes to things like call outs, its easy to change what you're gonna say if you feel a block coming. Due to that, I'm able to play and ...

And instead of focusing on back to fluency, what helps me is focusing on back to communicating/talking (regardless of if fluent or not)...

My question to you is if you can speak fine by yourself, why do you need to practice speaking? That's like if you are a great basketball player and you can sink every 3 point shot when you are by yo...

About speech therapy/techniques Just an hour ago, my parents and I quarreled heatedly about me still not being able to overcome my stuttering though I'm 24 and just finished college. It was really a t...

You're right! The mind follows the body and the body follows the mind. But in my experience in overcoming stuttering, you do need a new way of acting and thinking. I have found its alot easier to ac...

What you resist persists. Fighting your stuttering is the wrong approach. It will increase stress and thus make stuttering more severe in the long run....

I think if the mind is calm and steady the body will follow. I feel like it’s training me to not think about stuttering while I am speaking or fearing it in general. I will keep you updated!...

Focusing on being calm sounds like setting yourself up for failure. I agree with the other poster, focus instead knd the conversation and interaction....

Exactly. I focus on the person and the conversation....not my stutter and that has yielded positive results...

I love it man, I think we can have great conversations. you seem really aware. So true with its not just a speech problem. I dont believe it's a speech problem at all, it's an everything else proble...

Wow you are one of the first people I've seen rationally look at there stutter correctly in this sense. Alot of us believe we need to stop stuttering first, then we will stop feeling anxious but it'...

When i speak fluently, i forget how it’s like to stutter. And thats makes me fall back everytiem....

Wow you seem very self aware to realize your stutter going up and down based on your emotional state. Most people can see that but they still reach out to learn techniques. You said you've been down t...

Thank you for your feedback. Yea this shit is confusing. But I feel like if I had some sort of amnesia and forgot I had this speech block, I probably wouldn’t have to deal with it. Idk though. I will ...

I wouldn't recommend it. My first draft was about my stutter and the ways I overcame some of the challenges related to it, then I met with an admissions officer for review and she was like "No. Start ...

Just had a meeting for work. Could barely say anything. Asked our AE to read what I wrote. I feel terrible and stupid, and above everything I hate that I feel like it. I want to punch myself every time such things happen. I just hate it & myself. I'm so angry. I can't do this for the rest of my life

That's very interesting! Do you have any resources (books, videos, articles) that could give more information on that? I actually find that I now am almost completely fluent with my immediate family ...

Wow, I could had written that in my 20s. You are right, acepting it is very hard; specially for people with those traits you mention. However the work is not only controlling your negative thoughts,...

Thank you for this. I was thinking about it too but I'm just so nervous about it. I get discouraged every time I open my camera to shoot. I will say a few words and then mess it up, even with a script...

Don't be scared man. Its all about the attitude. You gotta walk in there knowing you're going to land the job. Im 32 and have been through my share of interviews. I learned to embrace stuttering and t...
