This is exactly what I wrote my essay on four years ago :) writing all my feelings about it down into an essay for something so important somehow made me feel so much more confident...
In my opinion, it is always better to own it. Then you won’t have to worry about trying to hide it (if you’re covert and use avoidance tactics), on top of the anxiety a job interview brings in general...
You should definitely tell him! That's who you are, and you have no reason to hide it or be ashamed of. Show him its there, but that it doesn't prevent you from doing your job and be smart and everyth...
Having a background in human resources and having a stuttter for 45 years, disclose before it starts that way you take back the power and then you move on with the interview. By disclosing, you show...

Has everyone’s speech gotten worse since quarantine?
Has everyone’s speech gotten worse since quarantine? Cause mine sure fucking has! Had a stutter as a kid. Outgrew it. Extreme stress at 24, two years ago. It came back. Did one of those 10-day inten...
Listen to a seasoned stutterer who bombed many a job interview. In this new normal of Zoom and Skype calls/meetings/interviews, I always disclose my stutter. It shows strength, courage and resili...
Thank you! But there's still a long way to go, getting a job is one thing and surviving the competition and giving daily presentations is something else. One thing I always make sure during an interv...
How can I stop this minor stutter
How can I stop this minor stutter I am 17 and I have a minor stutter. It’s only on the first word of a sentence and it is one-3 stutters before I get it out. It has completely ruined my confidence an...

I feel you, so basically filler words or avoiding words you struggle with is not a great idea. Because you are avoiding facing your fear of stuttering. The thing is, I would like to do whatever makes ...
I have used this in the past. Sadly I think changing the words have a negative effect on me because I think to myself damn I couldn’t say it. I have to just do it next time and not be scared about it...
This is the worst, I recently tried to stream on twitch to try to face my fears infront of people. Honestly it has been working...

You're very welcome! And if your mother says that she doesn't think you stutter, educate her. Show her a few links about 'covert stuttering'. Tell her that it's really impacting your life. I'm sure sh...
Hey there, your story really resonated with me. I'm also a woman and have had a mild to medium severity stutter my whole life. I'm largely covert (though am trying to bring it more out into the open),...
That sounds rough. It takes courage to do what you did. I understand how you feel the need to hide your stutter as well. If you havent done so already, I think it might help to tell some of your frien...

concerned about career shift into mental health counseling
concerned about career shift into mental health counseling I've had an intuition for a while telling me to pursue a career in counseling/therapy but I've never took it seriously due to the social anxi...
