Not hiding it is a big step! It takes a lot of the fear out of speaking, and the fear tends to make the blocks worse. One of my things is that I'm still carrying a lot of internal shame about my disfl...

Thank you. Actually, I can also be very indirect so it’s possible she was referring to that habit. Also, while at that job, (separate from it), I discovered the key to gaining more fluency (don’t h...

If that's possible for you, try to get in touch with Vivian Sisskin. She offers online group sessions and is focused on eliminating avoidances IOT speak freely without tension. You work on both the em...

Stuttering therapy can be really great if you find someone who specializes in stuttering. Most speech therapists don't, and a good number of them will say they work with stuttering. That's not the sam...

When I was 16 and in school I had a severe stutter. I did not dare to pick up the phone or talk to people. At the end of the school year I had to do a book presentation for my exam and I was nervous t...

I actually listed mine as a strength in my job interview as it forces me to come out of my comfort zone and the interviewer really liked it and congratulated me for doing what not a lot would....

I’ve found myself thinking about this from time to time. But then, like another commenter mentioned, you’re dealt a hand that you play with. Like everyone else. I logged in after a while today and Re...

Respect, dont let it be a crutch. Once i realized that, things got better. Be the best you can be day in and day out. I did 8 years in the military and if i can do it any of you can achieve things. W...

I do my best not to let stuttering hold me back. It might be an extra challenge for me to do the things I want to do, but when I achieve it, I feel even more accomplished. My stutter is only a small f...

I've viewed at as a super efficient friend filter. If I was fluent, I wouldn't want to associate with those who aren't open minded enough to accept the possibility of someone who stutters being infe...
