Sorry to hear that happened. Next time, should you pause, BREATHE. It's normal to forget about your breathing when talking on the phone but be conscious of it. Use fewer words in a sentence too if n...

Today was my first day at the world renowned Toronto speech and stuttering institute. I have had a stutter since a child, and I just assumed eventually I would grow out of it. Flash forward to now, ...

I stutter but more social than my wife who doesn't stutter. I hate trivial conversation and find them annoying. Stuttering has made me into an introvert. However, I have to talk at work for my job so ...

I listen to the ones that deal with emotional health. I listen to them over and over again. I think this should just be used as a tool, not a solution. But I think the better we learn to manage our em...

Anxiety Hello my fellow stutterers. I'm 25 years old and I've been stuttering since I was a kid. I had speech therapy when i was in 4th grade but it honestly did nothing for me. I have a hard time wit...

The effects of stutter on health and life expectancy
