Any chance you can Zoom? I find it much easier when I can see the person / know they can see me and what’s going on. Telephone is the hardest, esp when the other person is on speaker and there’s backg...

Very true. I have a phone appointment on Monday for my son. He’s in a program that requires annual review of everything going on in our lives. We just bought a new home in a different state (which I ...

I think you can get a mental therapy or even just speech therapy straightforwards to achieve professional helps(but they will be likely to misfire on you..) I think you should rectify your perceiptio...

Even if I didn't stutter, I would still have near crippling anxiety to overcome. However, being able to completely express myself would be nice and may ease that a bit, I do not think that correlatio...

Definitely. I was more extroverted when I was younger because I wasn’t mentally aware of the social implications that having a stutter carried...

No one is really an expert but just try to be comfortable. I'd say that you have to realize that a random person's opinion of you isn't relevant to your life. You should be basing your self-esteem on ...

Scared to apply for jobs.

Scared to apply for jobs. Hello, I'm 23 years old. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science, but now I'm really scared to apply for any job because of interviews. I'm really depressed ...

I think genes are more complex than that. But as an early childhood professional, suggesting to skip a child ahead a few grades is a horrible idea that can definitely manifest in social/emotional/aca...

Anxiety. It’s all in your mind. Go to Amazon and get the books by Lee Lovett. He has a new one that just came out which is his fourth edition....

I don't think so. I actually stutter the most around family and friends, and I primarily block...

Almost* mean “not always”. So.....my comments *specifically* allows for outliers, like yourself. I’ve been working with children with mental health problems for close to 2 decades. If 5 year olds d...

I don’t agree. I know myself, I know how my stutter has progressed since childhood. It’s not just anxiety. Officially diagnosed stuttering isn’t the same as normal stage fright. Stuttering can even be...

Picture there's a line, on one end you have people who stutter/block only on stage and on the other end you have people who stutter even with themselves. I think it's a spectrum and Id guess maybe whe...

I would guess that the cause is biological, something different in our brains, but yeah, environmental factors and anxiety would play a part too...

My opinion on the cause of stuttering
