My stutter varies from mild when at home/people I know, to moderate in more normal/social situations, to severe in highly stressful situations. Nevertheless, I can control it, but one of my main probl...

Hai, I'm also from the Netherlands;) (where are you from) I don't know if health insurance helps with Del Ferro? Have no idea. I friend of mine also went to Del Ferro and it helped him a lot. An o...

Well where I live, if someone said that to you it could be grounds for a discrimination lawsuit under ADA. But it's very difficult to find a lawyer to file a "refusal to hire" lawsuit on your behalf b...

How bad is your stutter? I fear phone calls as well. But if you haven't made a single phone call in 10 years, you really need to start practicing. Start by just calling random places and asking basic ...

I practiced talking on the phone using the app Wakie. I've gotten so much better by just practicing. Just gotta do it, it gets easier....

I used put people on speaker phone and ask my girlfriend to sit across from me so that I could "talk" to her but be answering the person on the phone. ...

If you are going to be taking a job where talking on the phone is important, and you are not able to do this, there is no good answer for you. You need speech therapy to help you get better and get c...

You make no mention of _speech therapy_ (and neither do the current replies in the thread). Have you tried anything in this vein?...

Looking for a practice partner

Looking for a practice partner Hey guys, I'm a stutterer and I'm looking for a practice partner. I'm at a point in my life where I really want to take control of my speech and manage my stutter better...

I am an SLP. I would recommend getting a second opinion from another neurologist. Not because I'm qualified to say what may or may not be happening, but because that guy you saw sounds like an ass. ...

If your insurance covers it (or you have the money), I would set up a consultation with an experienced Speech Language Pathologist (make they sure know about stuttering in all forms). If you can find ...

Stuttering is always come and go. No one stutters 100% of the time. But if you're hoping it'll just resolve on its own, that's a bold hope. But I don't think seeing a therapist would hinder that. But ...
