I find it extremely unprofessional that an interviewer would laugh at someone’s disability! Seriously, I would report them to HR! Fk working for a company who treats people with disabilities like th...

Feel free!...

Our stutter causes us anxiety, so yes, they are definitely linked, but anxiety doesn’t cause stuttering in itself. Anxiety releases cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine, causing that fight or flight resp...

I’ve been on the meds for 4 months now, and haven’t come off it as I’m significantly less anxious than before. I’m pretty sure coming off it will only make me regress back into my old anxious mess! L...

Thank you very much for sharing. I’ve had success with similar methods. It’s a confidence game. Congratulations on the great progress....

Have you tested your medication to see if there is a noticeable difference in fluency when you are on it and off of it? Like I am all for 'accepting' you stutter and whatever but if there is a chance ...

Interesting. Maybe there is a link between anxiety and overall stuttering. Like when talking to family, friends, and close coworkers I stutter a lot less (but still stutter). When talking with my boss...

Well done! See, when we overthink things, the fear is debilitating to us. Keep it going! The more you do it the less the anticipatory anxiety will cripple you....

How did your presentation go?...

Thanks for the context. I too found speech therapy helping DURING sessions, but as soon as I went out into the real world, over time my speech crumbled all over again. There’s so much more social an...

Sounds like a tough situation for you at work. Sorry you’re going through this. I can only imagine how stressful your work can get, and the added pressure of having to make calls and give reports unde...

Bravo! Well done to you! Desensitising ourselves to speaking to strangers and audiences definitely helps over time. I think the fear of ridicule holds a lot of us back from doing this. At the end o...

That’s giving up....

Agree, we all have different feelings, experiences and mitigation strategies with our stutters. What works for some, doesn’t work for others. Post flairs would be useful....

Do you follow @marcwinski on TikTok / Instagram?...

It's actually a method that voluntary stuttering causes more stuttering. There are some people who do experience this, especially initially,, but it is not universally true. Some of the people who may...

Are you able to see a doctor to have them do some kind of brain imaging? If you have no history of studying as a child, the reason it would develop as an adult as if your brain incurred some type of t...

Research into the stuttering brain revealed a dysregulation in the dopaminergic system which affects the speech motor networks in the brain. Stutterers brains have either hyperactive dopamine baseline...
