Stuttering and giving job interviews I've done a couple of informal job interviews in the past few weeks, where the company I work for is looking to hire and I've been conducting the interview alongsi...

Yes, I think we're on the same page, but getting there from different angles. There is a lot of mind-reading that goes on in the minds of people who stutter. And whether that gets interpreted as "[ho...

I think I see where you're coming from. But in this case, couldn't over-thinking still fit into his framework of people "[holding] the minds of other men, not objective reality, as his ultimate psycho...

Hey thanks for clarifying that. So, if our working definition of 'low self esteem' is a lack of agency, low self efficacy, external locus of control, I'm not satisfied with Braden's description (or,...

Hi iciaguy. On second thought, I'd like to rephrase that last question. Think I may have over-simplified it! Branden's premise seems to be that the core problem isn't even the type of thinking, but th...

Stuttering and self-esteem

Stuttering and self-esteem Stuttering is linked to low self-esteem, but why and how can we improve it? I've been thinking about this today after reading about the "The Psychology of Self-Esteem" by N...

Your speech therapy history

Your speech therapy history I'm curious about the speech therapy history of people here. I will start with mine. I began stuttering at the age of five. Stuttering runs in my family, so I assume I had...

This is the day I face my opponent.

This is the day I face my opponent. Today is the day I face my stutter, head on, for a final battle against what has held me back for such a length of time. I am 18 and just nearing a half hour ago,...

I can relate to what you said. I have taken some personalities tests (MBTI 16personalities) from different sites where I get different results. mostly because that I tends to over think some of the qu...

In need of a little advice, words of wisdom, support & all the above.

In need of a little advice, words of wisdom, support & all the above. I'm at a point where I feel like my speech has gotten really bad. Like I can barely say two words. I attribute this to the fac...

Stuttering my whole life.

Stuttering my whole life. As someone who has stuttered their whole life this sub just popped up for me and it is a godsend. I usually stutter when I am at stores and around family. I usually do fine...

I have a couple thoughts -- 1) stuttering is variable. Not everyone who stutters is going to have the same experiences. You will stutter more in different situations compared to me, and vice versa. ...

I don't specifically meditate with the hope that it will impact my stutter in one way or another. However, sometimes I do let myself think about it while meditating and I've had some good epiphany's ...

:) Firstly, I'm still not sure what you mean by mental. Two things come to my mind: psychological (dealing with the mind, the perception we create of ourselves etc) and neurobiological (dealing with ...

Alternatively, maybe you actually don't stutter less, but you're less aware of your stuttering. This is the fundamental flaw of the self-report of changes to stuttering frequency / severity under the ...
