Canada - when driving across land borders - choose busy ones. Living in a country which has less social drama, and where public discussion is conducted in a more sensible way is I think a very healthy...

Hi Lyssinflannel, I had to respond to your post because I felt like I was reading an entry in my diary lol. I’m a 23/f stutterer…soon to be 24 I never attended Hollins, but I did purchase the speech...

Introduction

Introduction Long time listener, first time caller. Or, something like that. I've been an avid Reddit reader for a while now and recently decided to post on the forum and reach out to everyone. I'm n...

I feel the same way. I get anxiety when my phone rings and I have to answer it - normally when its from someone I don't know or someone that is important (like a job interview). My heart races and mos...

I feel the same exact way as you do. I am a covert stutterer as well and gone through every thing you went through - decent job, would occasionally go out to bars, play basketball on the weekends. As ...

Anxiety can make stuttering worse, but that's not the main cause. I remember reading in a textbook for speech pathologists that stuttering only happens with bi-directional communication. So I (and oth...

To me at least it's a balance between stress, technique, and control. Having one out of whack can make the stutter worse. Anxiety, while a factor, isn't the only one. But relaxation techniques do he...

Why not? What's wrong with trying to lead a stress free life and in turn minimise my stuttering whenever I can?...

Because EVEN if, EVEN if those tests would show to be conclusive, which they show as much to be as that vaccines cause autism, what are you going to do with that info? You're going to take away every ...

I would agree with all your answers. 1) Sometimes slowing down and pausing does help me, but sometimes the other person(s) you may be talking to will simply help you finish out your sentence. That m...
