Since I've been treated for social anxiety for 2+ years I've to say that I've seen a great improvement in not just my social health / anxiety but also my stutter. It has been life changing in a way. I...

You don't have to live with that pain. You have to live with the stutter, but there are people who will and who wish to help you. Getting in to see a therapist is hard - When I was at my worst times...

Do you mind if I DM you? I’d love to talk to you about your research! I’m entering a clinical psychology PhD and while I don’t plan on conducting research in this area, I do plan on specializing in ...

Eeeeeeeee (softly, gently prolonging my first syllable) as I ease into what I want to s-s-say (fake stutter, so I can stop trying to NOT stutter). It’s all a lie. Stuttering really does NOT preven...

So sorry that you are going through this. This was also me growing up, lashing out, cursing people who treated me like I was a leper. I was put in speech therapy and later in life I saw a therapist ...
