it’s amazing how much of a mental game stuttering is for some people. it’s definitely like that for me. the fear of stuttering makes my stutter worse. when i would talk to someone i didn’t care if i s...

yeah, it’s easier said than done. there isn’t a just a switch where suddenly you don’t care what people think. it’s a gradual thing. best thing is to stick it out through the rough times and know that...

I am just another person in a different country with the same story of yours. And all I can say is no one can really feel us. I just left an MA program because I reached a point where I lost myself...

There is a switch towards accepting and commitment therapy in stuttering therapy. It is very similar to not giving an F......

Agreed. Most of the time we don't do anything when we have fluent periods, just like we don't do anything during our stuttering moments. Now stuttering and still doing what you wanted to do, that's la...

I remember when we had to read from a book in a class. I stuttered at first and the teacher said that I should start it over from the beginning. I became mad and read it with absolute fluency at the s...

Umm I dunno that is hard. If you can muster the courage I'd say just speak up even if you stutter. Group interviews must be looking for the person that stands out. If you can Be friendliest most out g...

This is truly AWESOME!!!! It took me 35 years to accept my stutter and to stop fighting it. Once I accepted it and frankly, I just didn't care anymore that I stuttered. That day was monumental beca...

I have done Radical Acceptance Therapy with my therapist for stuff unrelated to my stutter, and it is INCREDIBLE. Highly recommended. I've tried several forms of therapy, and I found this one to be p...

It makes sense. I remember back when I was a kid getting mad at the fact that I stuttered. I was young and didn’t realize that understanding that being okay that I stutter is the first step to improvi...

I for one think it could help a lot. I guess what I am trying for myself is what ACT is basically saying. It works for the most part. Personally speaking....

First of all, things will get better. Moods affect the stutter a lot. My stutter actually decreased a lot in my senior year of high school because I really started to accept my stutter as a part of wh...

Just to note: Whatever the scientific explanation for stuttering might be (and we're not quite done with figuring that out), it doesn't mean we should stop trying to improve things. It's just that it'...

>not make it into some sort of "craft". Again, those who have a lot to struggle with should not feel like it's their own failure to improve that's holding them back. Thank you for your comments, p...

Also, try to break bad habits. For example, i used to make a sound by joining my tongue to my lips right before trying to say a word. Another bad habit is moving my feet all over the place. I'm refusi...

I'm glad mate. I joined a community which helped me a lot with breathing techniques and overall overcoming bad habits and my stutter has improved. Although it's true that im practicing a lot it's also...

Same here! I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone and just do it. Did I stutter? Of course. Did I keep doing it, YES I did. I learned that by disclosing my stutter, it allowed me to educ...

1.If you read Dave McGuire's 'Beyond Stuttering', sports analogies are everywhere in the book. He actively tells people to think about speech as some kind of sports. The McGuire programme, as you may ...

Thank you so much for your thoughts. I guess I just really need to work on myself and let go of being too conscious about it!...

I would love to see some comparative research on how internalization (or more generally, models of understanding) affect the adherents, depending on what they're adhering to. My perspective has long ...
