I am suffering at work

I am suffering at work My stutter/block has gotten really bad lately. Ever since I've started this job (back in April 2017) I have noticed I am having a harder time with my speech that I didn't really...

Well, I have family history of it. My theory is that I'm genetically predisposed to it and just need some environmental factor for it to pop....

Thanks for that info. I've always done the same things too, but I find that I usually get the speech block when I begin to speak, not during. Thankfully taking in some deep breaths through my nose, do...

>I know my stutter isn't a physical speech impediment, it's emotionally caused. In general, we don't know exactly what causes stutter... just so you don't think it's something you're doing to your...

It actually happened to me. Went to a sporting event and was chatting it up with the guy next to me. When it got loud and we were talking about something, I was stumbling all over the place and just c...

Agreed. We're all in the same boat. I'm 25 and also see an increase in disfluency when it comes to emotions. But it also forces me to take a breath and calm down which is always good when it comes to ...

Alright man I might be able to shed some light into this. I may or may not have gotten denied from 1 or 2 local law enforcement agencies because of my stutter. The psych tests didn't have anything rel...

Even if you go to a school without a required public speaking class, you're still going to take classes which require you to speak out loud and give presentations. Nobody likes public speaking class...

The worst thing you can do is avoid it. My major had 3 oral requirements that had me do presentations constantly. I just got up and did them after tirelessly practicing. I had to do 10+ minute cas...

I almost heal my stutter, there is hope Hi everyone, before all what you read into my post is come from my personal experience, I'm not a doctor or a specialist, I'm just a guy 28 years old and I'm st...
