I did my course like 3 years ago and it was really mind openend. I’ll recommend it to everyone who has a heavy stutter. But it is alot of hard work. You wouldn’t be cured, you need to practice ever...

I faced my fear 4 years long as a sportsteacher student. The thing with me if i am relaxed, i speak relaxed and ofcourse i will stutter sometimes. But when i do, I just take a deep breath Trying not...

Neat video, and I totally relate to your situation. Working on giving less fucks is a long process, but it'll be worth it in the end....

Haha Parks and Rec is one of my favorite shows ever. Chris Trager is definitely a good person to take stuff from. I'm definitely gonna take this idea to heart. I could definitely start taking things ...

I like chris trager from Parks and rec, but I’m a little calmer than him by nature. I’ve always liked magaminds personality too, very upbeat and doesn’t let things get him down too much. Even just spo...

That definitely does help. I have trouble with eye contact and keeping my voice steady and low. I haven't ever thought about imitating some optimistic characters. I guess pretending or faking would m...

I always make sure to have good posture, relax my voice and keep it low, and maintain eye contact (not a death stare but just don’t avoid eye contact all the time). The main thing I think is stay in a...

Can you make peace with the tricks and avoidances?

Can you make peace with the tricks and avoidances? Fellow stuttering individuals, I ask this question because I was thinking about it the other day. I am still at that point where I am trying to accep...

It does help for short term and building more confidence does help for the long term but if you're faking it then it will eventually catch up with you and you won't be as fluent. I used to play an act...

You just have to realize that the stutter sounds a lot worse in YOUR head and although you feel like an idiot (i know we all do) people are thinking more about their own problems or insecurities rathe...

Be real with people. When you feel like you should mention that you stutter, mention it. Otherwise, fake it till you make it. Be confident always, but maintain semblance over the way that you act. ...

People will treat you Moreso on how you react , not really what you’re doing. If you make it awkward and weird , itll be treated that way. If you laugh it off of just play it off and keep on truckin’ ...

Some says that we shouldn't hide stuttering, that helps to relax....

Yeah man I’m having the same problem. I am thinking about being an ass back cause quite honestly, that’s rude. Someone not listening to you when your trying to speak but they want you to listen? Hahah...

Dread.

Dread. Grad school is something I’ve *really* wanted for a long time. Despite having several things working against my application, I worked my ass to get into a prestigious program, and I’m super exc...

The amount of shit we're willing to do to not stutter almost amazes me. Surely putting that effort into being comfortable with your stuttering so you can still be yourself is less tiring and more rewa...

I think you described it excellently when you said “20+ years of speech experience and muscle memory.” We have such a strong reflex to talk in the way that’s natural, and I think social expectations a...

Voluntary stuttering is soooo hard. It’s so hard to deliberately change how you speak. It’s just as hard as using a certain speech technique. When I was trying it I always got really self-conscious an...

Vicious cycle vent

Vicious cycle vent I’m from Spain, and have been stuttering severely my whole life. Stuttering is a vicious cycle. You stutter because you know you’re gonna stutter, and you know you’re gonna stutter...

I think this is a good opportunity to be less covert and present yourself more up front....
