I chose not to be traumatized. As a stutterer, silence can be your armor, but also your prison. I decided long ago to find a way to still express myself and find a way out of that prison. That gave ...

I get it, but she isn't wrong either. I still have moments of frustration, self-pity, doubt. It took me a long time to figure out how to keep pushing myself forward, and yes, staying positive. You...

I guess, it is the lack of self confidence about expressing yourself. I reinforced this feeling to convince my subconscious about speaking. " I can express myself without hesitation clearly, calmly...

So start small. Find someone you trust and test things there. Nothing to lose, right? :) Mind you, this wouldn't be done in order to 'practice the situation such that fluency can be achieved later on...

Normal people think per sounds, we think per clusters and for overcome this problem we stutter. So is not artificial, and of course I don't talk like a robot. I enjoy my speech, I connect with people,...

This is artificial. Normal people don't do it. I use no such tricks, I talk naturally without thinking how to say it. I don't believe that you can always apply such tricks, especially under stress. ...

The environment absolutely triggers it for me too. Also after submitting this post I became more aware of my stuttering, but in a good comforting way.. and I have barely stuttered until now. So weird....

Yeah substitution works for me too at times and it was something I did for a long time. But personally it seems more like coping/escaping rather than tackling the problem head on. I'm trying to mast...

yes, i'm 17 years old, and i am learning to be myself, sometimes it feel very awkward but i like it...

Definetly agree with you. Imo when u accept it more u will get more confident in ur speech en stutter much lesser than before...

So this is a sign. If they treated you like that, imagine if you got the job? They were most likely terrible people to work for. Believe it or not your doing it right, vent about it and move on. Kee...

Like so many on here, your story resonates with me. It’s so hard, day after day. Just know, it can get easier. Tricks and fluency techniques can help in the short term, but acceptance really is the lo...

I've been in your shoes. One possible solution is to contact the company and work out a payment plan or a reduced amount due to special program. Don't give up! Take it from an old man, I'm 49 and ...

What's this "acceptance" thing? I wrote about the descriptional parameters you're dealing with. You're the one making yourself into "a lack of spontaneity". That's what I'm writing against. - So, r...

I feel like you too are in the acceptance camp, like another commenter down somewhere. My suggestion would be the same as the one I gave him. Acceptance should mean that you don't try to avoid stutte...

I suggest that you don't overindulge in this concept of acceptance, if you desire to be more fluent than you currently are. Don't put yourself in a box and say "I'm a stutterer and this is how I'll a...

Careful not to focus on one particular narrow route of description and analysis. There are many contexts for spontaneity, and in truth, there are many situations where a stutterer may enter into. Only...

I wish you luck. I was on Zyprexa and Zoloft and it turned me into a zombie. I choose traditional techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing over meds now. I'm happier now that I accepted my stutte...

Hello Bastian, my name is Victoria! I'm 16 oral presentations are the worst and guess what — there are some right ahead of me. 4 in total! the school ends in less than 4 months and in the last month ...

In a way we can. Do you feel comfortable speaking? Does speaking, stutter included, come naturally? Do you speak your mind with confidence? Do you seek to avoid speaking as much as possible or at cert...
