You can't control how other people view you that's for certain. But the world is changing for the better and disorders like stuttering are becoming better understood and accepted. You can live a norma...

I agree to a point. If you mean "no good things" as in "it would be far better to live without a stutter", I definitely agree. If you mean"good things" as "recognizing positive qualities that I have a...

It’s interesting that psychotherapy enabled my fluency. I just no longer stuttered at all after 65 years. That was 6 years ago. It was a miracle....

Manicfoot. I recovered from my stuttering at age 70 and I’m a female. Mine was resolved through psychotherapy to come to terms with an abusive childhood. At various times during my life I tried both ...

For me, I think accepting stuttering is like saying "I don't care about stuttering anymore", "stuttering is neither bad nor good, it just is" or "I will not try to hide stuttering, fuck it. I give up ...

Female too. I overcame my stuttering at age 70 through psychotherapy dealing with an abusive childhood. That was 5 years ago and I’ve remained fully fluent. Good luck, Sue...

Lucifer Morning Star. Are you by any chance LDS? I just left the church but remember referring to Lucifer as the son of The Morning Star. Now to your answer. I’ve written my story before on the r/st...

> But here is different. It's accepting the stutter in order to solve it, This is right here, is why it took me over 10 years to really figure out what acceptance meant to me. I think there are ...

I like this a lot. I have a question though: what is exactly accepting the stutter? For me, when I accept something, it means I'm gonna live with it. I'm gonna stop fighting and losing time trying to ...

If we can choose to move our leg muscles (when walking). Can we choose to move our speech muscles (when speaking), if we are in fight and flight mode? How do we outgrow stuttering as an adult, in my opinion?

Oh yes! Everyone reacts differently to things. I wasn’t repeatedly raped or anything but my parents emotionally abused and marginalized me. I can remember being loved and valued up to the time one eye...

Mine really did go away! I had to wait until I was 70, but that was 6 years ago and I’ve had no reoccurrence. My stuttering was caused by an abusive childhood and through coming to terms with my resen...

Funny moment?

Funny moment? I tend to find humor in dealing with my lifelong stutter- keeps me from the pit of despair. What’s the funniest thing that’s happened to you when stuttering? I’ll start :) I was at c...

Speech therapy worked for me. Not in the sense that what I learned during the sessions fixed my stutter 100% (though I did learn some great tips) but more in the sense that I took action on my own tow...

Ha Me too. :). I’ve been stuttering for 60 years, this is the first time I’ve ever talked about it publicly. Barely talked about it privately. I know it’s not funny but I can laugh abo...
