For me personally, I disagree. If it's someone I'm close withand I'm particularly stuck, I don't mind them trying to finish my sentence. The slight defeat of someone finishing my sentence is less pain...

ISAD!

ISAD! All my life I have struggled with a stammer, but it hasn’t stopped me speaking in front of 200+ strangers around the country, getting a demanding and enjoyable job speaking on the phones daily. ...

It sounds like a lot of things came together for you. Speech techniques (even if they didn't work at the time), breathing, meditation but most importantly gaining confidence and going into a job where...

You are not alone in feeling like this. Stuttering can severely affect confidence and self-esteem. It all boils down to the think-feel-act cycle. Negative thoughts lead to emotions (stress, anxiety, s...

Well, I'm the opposite, I love talking to guys like you. There are so many smooth talkers but they don't necessarily have anything interesting to say. Why I chose this path? I am fascinated by languag...

Yeah, I can agree with that. Basically, if we try to reject it, or the knowledge of it, we make an unconquerable enemy of it, since we can't change reality that way. It's more healthy to just integrat...

If you can get to the point where you can own your stutter, you've won. Stuttering gets worse the more you try to hide it and struggle against it so the more you accept it, talk about it openly and ac...

The more someone fights against their stutter, the more they try to hide it, avoid words, people, certain situations, the worse their stutter gets. This is because when someone stutters, their brain i...

To me, its accept, positive thinking, and allow. It's to accept that you have a stutter, and not trying to hide it from people. Address it with people you meet, either before it happens or after it ...

Psychologist. Was scary at first during my training/practicums. I'm over caring about my stutter, I just let it happen if it does - some clients ask about it which is great cause it leads to discussio...

I have a stutter. I'm a teacher. Really, I know I have a stutter. My students know. My teachers and administration know. Parents know. Nobody really cares, and I feel like they don't care because I ...

I embraced it, I stopped fighting it. Once I did that, it got easier. I just don't care anymore and I can feel the difference....

For me it was really meditation that did the trick. I used to think that I was rubbish at it because I couldn't stop thinking and then I realised that it was ok to think as long as I slowly learned to...

That assumption might be valid, but I would have to see some scientific evidence it before I regard it as a fact. Secondly, this is a stuttering group so its highly unlikely that I will find somone he...

Started anxiety counseling and exploring the relationship between my severe anxiety and stutter

Started anxiety counseling and exploring the relationship between my severe anxiety and stutter I tried listening to relaxation scripts every night before bed, suggested by my counselor last week. As ...

Lee Lovett : Stuttering & Anxiety Self-Cures: What 1,000+ Stutterers Taught Me I don't know if any of you are familiar with this guy or the book he has written, but it sounds interesting. Especial...

I’m 99% fluent with strangers — on the phone, in-person, drive thrus, all of that (the 1% is I cant get my damn name out) Around friends and family I stutter like a damn fool. I guess the less of a f...

I'm in the communications/PR field. I wish I wasn't so focused on writing, but it's the "easier" thing to do as a person who stutters. But I'm working on getting more confidence, now I just need to fi...

It is typically in our best interest to find a way to mention it but never apologize for it. If we stress out trying to hide it and imagine judgement, we will likely stutter more and use avoidance tr...
