I haven't. But in the country I live, I don't think there are speech therapies for 18+ people. But how to "deal with" it? ...

I think I'd prefer the term "deal with". It's less passive - "accept" sounds like just sitting back and not doing anything. I mean, as a _premise_, sure, we _have_ to accept that we stutter. But that'...

I'm deaf, and my girlfriend has a stutter. From what I've gleaned from her, and studied in my psych classes, stuttering can have many causes, but the biggest one is clinical anxiety. There's not much ...

If you're at a university, check to see if they have a speech and language department. Maybe they can offer some discount therapy or at least provide some guidance on this. Many of them are likely doc...

I will try to find support groups if there are any, I was thinking of therapy anyways, for general emotional and mental health. Thank you for your advice!...

Find a support group for stuttering. I found that these helped more than speech therapy. You said that opening up to your friend made you feel better; opening up in a safe place with other PWS is a ve...
