Do I really want to get rid of my stutter?

Do I really want to get rid of my stutter? Hey everyone! So I have a stutter since i was very young. Don’t even know when it started, so like i’ve been stuttering my whole life basically. I went to ma...

It’s a process. A long, long process. You have to commit to speaking in uncomfortable situations, stuttering openly, and—most importantly—telling people that you stutter. Over time (meaning years or d...

No advice because I'm in the same boat, but hey, at least you're able to even form a relationship! Therapy is helping me but it doesn't work for everyone, worth giving a try tho. Might take couple th...

I try to apply avoidance reduction method to overcome my fear of stuttering. Here is my experience. I largely agree with the principles of **Avoidance Reduction Therapy (ART),** especially its focus o...

Dude, living in reluctant acceptance all this time... It would be totally sweet to have the healthcare field do something for us all.  It actually makes me feel a lot better that legit medical docto...

As long as you make it clear to your son that the speech therapy is supportive and not a “cure”, I think it’s going to be ok. My parents tried to cure me in any way, including speech therapists but ...

That sounds like such a tough experience, I’m really sorry you had to go through that. And no, it’s not just for people in the UK, anyone who stammers and has used DAF can participate. I’ve tried some...

Thanks for replying! I’d need to do an interview with recording, ideally video and audio, but if video feels too much, I can do audio only. No worries at all, I stammer too, so I totally get how it fe...

Absolutely. My therapist used to say "Stuttering is what stutterers do when they try not to stutter." I am as fluent as everyone else in the world when I am alone, but when I am talking to anyone, t...
