Thank you bro, I appreciate your advice. I’m trying to stop worrying about others’ judgments, and it gives me a great sense of freedom. Even if I stutter, I feel less shame thanks to this mindset. I d...

I always thought stuttering was the only thing standing between me and the perfect life and the perfect self I used to imagine in my head.

I always thought stuttering was the only thing standing between me and the perfect life and the perfect self I used to imagine in my head. It isn't. The bad habits and destructive tendencies remain. A...

I am also a covert stutterer. It’s basically a person whose main objective in terms of fluency is to hide the fact that they stutter at all and the opposite of stuttering acceptance. This leads to com...

I'm married now (31) but my stutter certainly didn't slow me down much when I was younger and dating. I would never try to hide it, and maybe even go as far as to make it part of how you introduce y...

Yeah OP you’re absolutely spot on. I had to dig deep into those core emotional issues if I wanted to stutter less; and it worked....

Thank you brother. For me, it took a while to realize how deeply ingrained these negative anticipation thoughts truly are. I developed them in early childhood, as I’m sure almost all of us did. For...

I used tinder before. I'd always disclose my stutter on Day 1 of talking. Most didn't care. Met one girl on there who didn't care, we connected on 'The Office' Been together 6 years now, married for...

Pretending to be someone else even when saying the same thing has an interesting effect like it's changing what the mind thinks is the scary part and processes something different instead, even if the...

Guess I found the cheat code! I was working as a preschool teacher when my blocks/stoppages were at their worst. As I was practicing with ways to reduce the blocks, it didn’t seem “odd” when I used ...

Oh no! Think there’s been a misunderstanding, probably due to me poorly communicating my thoughts! The link is my post, so I’d like to fix it, if necessary. I’ll try again - ultimately, looking...

This is just like the post that sent me to that other author. Rather than engage in the conversation, I see it's easier to just point to something that helped you that you believed in. For one,...

But I've been there in high school. It'll get better , get involved with some form of in school or out of school activities, speak out more, and your peers will laugh and crack jokes, but don't take ...

My mum did it once and I was absolutely distraught cos she'd never done it before. Then when I confronted her about it the next day, despite her doing it when my boyfriend was present, she claimed it ...

It is enraging how much people just attribute stuttering to mechanical and biological causes that cant be changed whereas people have been using successfully the psychological approach for more than 4...

You will benefit immensely because it will shift your perspective towards stuttering (as it is mainly psychological) and it goes deep in it. If you have the money you can skip this process and book an...

You and me both man! I’ve been doing IFS for about 2 years now. Life changing therapy combined with EMDR and somatic work! There’s something to be said for how it approaches the mind in a non-patholo...
