I can't think of anyone behavioral therapy couldn't provide some benefit for, lol. It's not going to cure your stutter, but could be a way of learning to be more comfortable with it, therefor increasi...

Thanks this is good advice they don't really say in speech therapy. I'll definitely try to recreate the fluent situations at times when I'm out of my comfort zone....

>the reality you ensure for yourself by avoiding that which scares you is far worse than the reality you fear will happen by attempting and failing the task you dread. Perfectly said, I will undou...

It's good that you recognize this situational variance. Now that you do, instead of just focusing on the tools they offer in your speech therapy sessions, you can also just focus on how you FEEL. Take...

>stutter is extremely situational This is true. I don't know what to do with it other than simply getting used to it, though. That way, it'll become less surprising....

Yes. I agree sometimes you need to learn to pick your battles. And I think different things work for different people, and different people are at different stages in making peace with themselves. B...

Haha, that is very kind! Honestly, I write it for my benefit as much as others'. I'm a long way from being a master of all this and can use the pep talk as much as anyone else. As for the bad days f...

Yeah, stutter is able to vary a lot. It's quite a common thing - but of course, that doesn't make it any less frustrating. :) However, knowing that it can vary might help us not get as surprised by it...

This is very common, and definitely mirrors my own experience. I try to focus on the fundamentals: right mindset, forming the right speech sounds, breathing properly, talking slowly, and not making a ...

Focus less on the delivery and focus more on the content that you are talking about. That way your emotions will come out as well and you'll be more relaxed while talking....

I don't think this can necessarily apply to everyone because there are lots of different and complex causes. But practising mindfulness etc is good for life in general anyway! Personally, I often fee...

Not to be a downer but I think his case is drastically different from ours. He started stuttering after getting hit by a softball in his twenties. He hasn't internalized many of the childhood negativi...

Hey mate, you seem like you're definitely over-thinking your situation. Try and remember that it is always *many* times worse in your head than how people perceive it. I used to have a moderate s-s-st...

Small success but big confidence boost

Small success but big confidence boost I'm 27 and I have a situationally moderately-severe stutter. This past Wednesday, on the fourth of July, my little brother got married and I was the best man. ...

Hey, sorry you didn’t get in first time. I’m from the UK, so we don’t do premed, we just go from college straight to medicine! In my first interview, I also bombed it but it was because I was so nerv...

Help with being more outgoing?

Help with being more outgoing? So I’m 18 and i’ve had a stutter for as long as i remember, but it’s not a regular stutter. I don’t repeat sounds or anything I just have blocks all the time. What I mea...

Obviously it's way too simple for me to just say "hey stop feeling shame or guilt". But in the end that's pretty much what I hope happens to you. I don't know how old you are but I really feel that as...

Well said. I think maybe the most important thing for a stutterer to do is to accept your stutter. Stop caring and stop trying to talk like 'normal people' talk. Then you can do whatever you want with...

I think I asked this on the /redpill/ sub a while back on an alternate account and I got a similar response. I saved your post so I can re read it every now and then for motivation because he is total...

I'm sure as I get a few weeks into the job I'll feel more comfortable. Worst comes to worst I just quit when school comes back around, so that option takes a load off my chest. Thanks man...
