Not to dis you but you realize it’s a neurological problem. It’s not something you ever cure, it is more of something you learn to live with and make the best of. Our brains are neurodivergent. Peopl...

I completely agree that it really does need to start being seen as a disability. Sometimes I feel like my life would be so much easier if I was mute and didn’t have the expectation to talk. With a stu...

I’m the same way! Whenever I’m in a situation where speaking may be possible, I need to be with a family member. I expect it will be like this for my whole life but who cares? The way I see it, our se...

You are partially correct. It has to do with the fact that the fluency comes from having voluntary control over your Valsalva response. When I gained voluntary control over my Valsalva response I beca...

Fluency comes from asking the question as to why a fluent speaker doesn’t stutter. You have the same physical characteristics and intelligence then why? I found an answer from years of researching ho...

You need to start asking yourself as to the reason you stutter and a fluent speaker doesn’t. You both have the same physical characteristics and intelligence so why? I spent years researching the rea...

If you define curing as “100% elimination of blocks and repetitions and avoidance behaviors until the day you die”, then curing is not a healthy or realistic goal. Many people *incorrectly* think th...

Curing stuttering is possible, two of my close friends cured it. But I won't be much inclined on curing it but will focus on reducing it. "If I can speak one word anytime anywhere then I can speak a...

Maybe there’s some misunderstanding here. I am *not* trying to cure it, but 95% of the time, I speak fluently and calmly. I am saying you need to learn that brief repetitions aren’t scary. Practicin...

yeah you are right, i was wondering if its worth it. I've read Lee Lovett book "How to stop stuttering and love speaking" wherein he talks about methods similar to yours like doing voluntary repetitio...

I read his book which included a hexagon type thing in which he said stuttering is caused by those six things but i did try what he said but no success. is there any other particular book which center...

It treated all people that were seriously working on themselves because it is proven , just give him a try he knows what he is talking about and he is good and he treated himself from his own severe s...

did it cure yours? Because all i can remember from john harrison he just says change your thinking pattern(which is genuinely a very good advice)...

You are absolutely correct. Once you rewire your brain to match the brain of a fluent speaker then you become fluent. This is what I did resulting in consistent fluent speech with no relapse....

It doesn't bother me; I just found the way stuttering was viewed curious and wanted to share it lol. I also think that thinking that what we have is a mental illness is excessive, since we're not cra...

Are you saying that you would be upset to be classified as having a mental illness? If you struggle to speak your own name due to anxieties, what would you classify that as? What do you think about ...

Stuttering is a mental illness, a neuropsychological one. Mental illnesses are recognized by cognitive/emotional/behavioral/social abnormalities (in that it's not part of the norm, not in a derogative...

My opinion as a pws: you don’t really want someone who stutters to be directly responsible for someone’s life where speech may be the deciding factor, the same way you don’t want someone with Tourette...

true ! I call it "I dont stutter as others do, I stutter as in the speech disorder 'stuttering' " or something like that I usually tell people and it' actually lands quite well most of the time! cuz...
