This video is about what I went through when I was trying to understand how I stuttered as I was going through the struggle in real time. The biggest impact I got out of stepping back, sort of out of...

that makes sense. i guess my main concern is the gasping between phrases while speaking. from what the speech therapist initially said, she thought that this went hand in hand with his stuttering, and...

Exactly, why should we apologize for something we were born with. We shouldn't have too, it's more than just a mental thing. When you are stuck on a word your throat muscles tense up, you feel like yo...

I remember trying to order a whopper in a Burger King in Belgium and I just couldn’t say it. I was there with my class on a school trip and there was a big line behind me and no one spoke Flemish or D...

I’ve had the occasional blow up on people. I’ve also had the shut downs where I just stop talking - this one happens more often than not. More recently, my girlfriend and I were at Cracker Barrel and...

Exactly. An automated system fucked my up the other day. It was asking me to say a big number and it kept saying ERROR cause of too many numbers. Little did it know I was repeating numbers cause I stu...

I mostly just get stuck on the first letter B,P,D,M,N, and F after that the rest of the word comes out pretty smoothly. Sometimes I will get stuck on words that follow with R like BR,CR,DR ect... I gu...

I don’t know if it’s an actual mimic. That was just the only word I could think of. It happens anytime I hear another stutter. I end up stuttering in the same pattern as the person doing it. I refuse ...

I remember I got into a car accident while driving my mom. The adrenaline kicked in and my stutter was just none existent while I called 911 and my dad and had to talk to so many strangers (my weakest...

Stress used to make all the difference for me. Though it was by no means stress that triggered it, my stutter was always random although consistent on say...my name...or the name of my company but th...

Ah reading! I remember I used to stutter when having to read in school. As I read, I'd definitely hit speech blocks but when I memorized something and had it down in my head, I never stuttered! I d...

Thank you for the comment. I agree with you about resolving the root insted of the consequences of the problem. I stutter mostly when I speak in front of a group of people or when I speak with strang...

You know what also robs you of your agency? Stuttering. Sorry I’m kind of a curmudgeon today. I know you’re trying to help though. Thank you!...

I had a son when I was 21 now I'm 24 and I have a second son (baby). I really understand you. You can use these events to stop you from thinking about the stuttering and start thinking more about the...

I’ve tried relaxing my body and taking breaths before speaking and for some reason it just doesn’t work for me. It feels like someone has my words tied to a rope and it’s just yanking it backwards. I ...
