Yes it does. It's fine for the most part when it's just simple words or sentences but the more complex it gets, the harder it is for me to pronounce in my head....

"Reading in the head" isn't the same as reading out loud. That's why you're noticing a difference. Perhaps you have some sort of concentration difficulty when it comes to reading and imagining your vo...

I think it takes a lot of cognitive restructuring to reduce your anxiety around the stuttering. Instead of “oh no!”, you eventually switch to “that would suck if it happened”, to “if it happens it hap...

I feel you. Just yesterday I was thinking about the first time I got to talk in front of the whole class on my first year in high school, like, 15 years ago. I remember I couldn’t speak one single wor...

Goodjob dude! Proud of ya. I know how hard it is I gotta do this. I put it off so much I feel so bad. I gotta call my grampa but he is hard of hearing and won't use a hearing aid so it's hard to tal...

I was turned on to it in 1990. Burns treated anxiety without meds by helping people reframe their thinking patterns. I use the premise of it in therapy every day. Projecting (#5), black/white think...

I started reading the book by John Harrison and another by Ruth Mead on stuttering. The idea that was really poignant in their books was the important of our thoughts and beliefs. I think this is de...

Once i read that we struggle more in our imagination than in reality. It s hard but its a journey we have to go though! We must more think about what we say than how me say it! I have times when i pre...

Man. I applaud you brotha. I've been doing intercollegiate speech and debate for this year (until the whole lockdown) and lemme tell you... It has been one hell of a journey. Imagine being in front 5-...

I find that I have to think a little bit longer and more effortful to really figure out which words I want to say and in what order. This makes me stutter because my brain goes back and forth trying t...

I remember the nightmares you're talking about. I was 10 and I was wandering if I could ever become a doctor, an actor or doing any other job that involved quite a bit of talking. I remember feeling f...

I actually told my boyfriend a few weeks ago that I can tell he has a stutter. Just the way he tries to correct it or get around his stutter was very familiar to me. He seems to stutter and gets flust...

Hey man, I've dealt with stuttering all my life. The anxiety that comes with not even being able to say my name correctly and even the stomach squeezing are things we have in common. I might not under...
