Indeed. The majority of tasks that people wouldn't see as anything are very difficult to do for stutterers. I still get very embarrassed in the moment but I don't really care afterwards. Before I woul...

Stuttering Solution anxiety? I have seen success with my stutterering. I accept I'll never be fluent 100% but currently I'm 75-80% and the goal is 95% (1 every 20 words) Problem is there are dozens...

Even when it's something that's clearly hurting him and leading to all this self-loathing and insecurity? I think what makes it hard for me to just drop this is that he's told me speech therapy has he...
