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...

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...

It is a vicious cycle indeed, but it can be overcome! Mine is also purely psychological, and I realized pretty early on that the mere *anticipation* of an incoming stutter is what causes it. Self-co...

Ask as much questions as you want one day i was also a scared teen and I wished my parents or I came across this approach to stuttering. As to Tim, they work in the understanding that if I can speak f...
