I sort of reached this point with the help of therapy (CBT). After a few home assignments (practiced calling, practiced asking strangers on the street and what not) we ended up agreeing I should give ...

the more spontaneous I can be to take myself out of my head and into the moment, the easier it is for me to speak. It serves as a distraction from my awareness of my stuttering....

Point #2 is excellent. I'd like to tack on an opinion of mine that goes along with it somewhat. I've always felt that most fluency techniques are far from the actual "fluency" that we all hope to "ac...

What do you mean "hide a stutter"? Do you just mean never talking. That seems terrible. I've had a stutter my whole life, and I just stutter through it all....

my story (venting) and looking for skype practice

my story (venting) and looking for skype practice I'm 20 years old and have had a mild stutter since I was very young and have visited a few speech therapists while growing up. I've had times in my li...

Well I don't think that the belief cannot be overcome - I think people overcome limiting beliefs all of the time. And I don't think it is the matter of flicking a switch and turning off a limiting bel...

I don't stutter in my dreams, but I had the completely opposite happen to me today. I was talking to someone fast with perfect diction for like a full 5 minutes straight. Then I woke up wondering why ...

Glorious, yet uneventful. I use to be a partial covert stutterer. In the context that I used to hide my stutter when I could. But I couldn’t always do so… If that makes any sense. Hiding your stutter...

My life turned around once I decided to major in communication sciences and disorders in college (aka speech therapy). This put me in a field of people who are sensitive and empathetic to those with d...

Can acting be cure to stuttering?

Can acting be cure to stuttering? So, I've heard that actors like Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis etc. said that they ''cured'' their stuttering though acting. I renember Samuel talking how he applied...

I cringe at myself whenever I speak. I don't want to cringe at both of us. Sucks even more when it's a teacher or someone talking infront of an audience. I notice all the small ways they try to avoid ...

I used a similar method when I started high school. I was in a new school where I only knew one person, and to fit in I just acted as if I was cool. It felt like I completely faked my personality at f...

I feel like I'm the odd one out here. I don't disclose. Then again, though I do have a noticeable stutter, in no way do I think it defines me. Sure, I repeat a few words a few times. I have blocks...

I understand. My suggestion is that trying to hide and be fluent is the wrong way to look at it because you will always be upset and disappointed. The other option is to stop worrying about fluency (b...

You're trying as hard as you can to say the words but you're trying equally as hard to make sure you don't show any stuttering. The result of these two counter forces pushing on each other is you get ...

Breaking out of asocial behavior

Breaking out of asocial behavior Has anyone developed an asocial type of lifestyle? I have and I don't know I feel about it. My stammer was bad when I was a child and it had quite a negative effect o...

No, you're completely right, I'm really embarrassed about my stutter and avoid talking about it or confronting it at all costs. If I see someone on tv with a stutter or someone makes fun of stuttering...

A fair point. As long as I can’t consistently admit to my stutter I’ll have a problem. That is, I'm feel troubled about "who I am" in a way that I don't other things....
