If you've seen it have a positive effect and transfer to the real world then I'm happy, but I am respectfully skeptical. It feels like speech tools; they work great in safe environments but reliably f...

I get the sense that I'm older than most here, and just want to give people some encouragement. The mindset I have about it now is not the one I had when I was young. Just want people to know that it...

I agree completely with speech therapy being counter productive for the reasons you outlined. If anything it does make the guilt and shame worse beyond what you mentioned, it tries to teach you to spe...

Blocking is not a core disfluency behavior. It feels like it is but it's not. I have learned to not block but I still stutter. Nothing is locking your vocal folds other than you. You are doing it and ...

When I used to focus on being more fluent, I was so much more depressed, but now that I've been told, my stutter is a neurological. It took a major weight off my shoulders, cause I always blamed mysel...

Yeah, I've been ashamed all my life, and I hate myself when I stutter, I just go over and over in my head saying why didn't I just say nothing, indeed I've had a lifetime of saying nothing whe...

Fuck no, my stutter stems out of violence and trauma. Might as well be a disfiguring scar that, when witnessed, the public can't handle and family is ashamed of. It's not who I was, but I guess it is ...

Stuttering is factually part of your authentic self unless your stuttering comes from any trauma or any other psychological obstacle that is unrelated to your stuttering. Your fake self is hiding the ...

I often forget I have it, because I am so used to it. I stopped giving a shit. Yes, it is a part of me...

Yes I do! I don’t know if you believe in energy or spiritual concepts at all. But lately I have started thinking that my stammer is actually blocked energy. And that specifically, it’s a blocked heart...

I know it's part of me but also, it's not really me. I tell people that it's like there's a troll living in my brain. That troll's name is James. He interrupts me a lot. Sometimes.... when I pause, ...

No. Its just like how I don’t consider my height or my weight as part of my authentic self, they’re physical attributes I have not who I am. The stutter has shaped my experiences but I think I would b...

I don't see it as part of my identity, because it's not the result of my personality or something I did. At the same time it's something that's inextricably attached to me, and it has a huge impact on...

Do you consider your stutter to be part of your authentic self?

I was once in your postion. I too were a social and attentive kid growing up with loads of friends whom I could flawlessly speak with. Then something hit and i began to stutter. One of my worst mistak...
