You are very right. I think there is so much shame, embarrassment, fear, guilt, anger, denial, and hopelessness built up from childhood when you stutter that you don't want to stutter, even though in ...

My progress as a stutterer (you CAN get better!) The year was 2018. I was starting my freshman year. My stutter was so bad that I would literally take years to get sounds out. Talking in class was lit...

When I did smoke (or drink), my stutter generally got better. I do not think that marijuana or alcohol had any affect on my stutter, just my overall confidence levels, and that’s what made my stutter ...

He still stutters, it's just a lot less. It's not a cure, he just figured out he doesn't need to be worried about it or something. So now when he has disfluencies, it's no biggie. He's probably still ...

Exactly 💯 My stutter was severe from 1975 to 1989; moderate from 1990 to 2013; mild from 2014 to present. I've also had 20 years of speech therapy and did some hypnosis in the military. Now I d...

This. It’s all about desensitizing yourself to the situation. Eventually you get used to it so your anxiety levels aren’t as high. Works for some people especially those with mild-moderate stutters....

It's posible to unwind all those knots, I did it in my early 30 after being in some deep holes, so old dogs CAN learn new tricks. I think you are in the right path; you don't have the unrealistic obj...

I want a restart I want a restart. I'm okay with living a life in which I happen to stutter. But I've attached too many emotions to it that it seems almost impossible to unwind all those knots. it see...

I was there once and it's awful. Not sure if that's your case but your goal shouldn't be speak "normally" but acept your stutter and become confortable with it. The ironic part is that will improve ...

I think that's unlikely to happen anytime soon, your best shot is learning to not give a shit about it and maybe learning some techniques to become a bit more fluent when you need it imo. Speech the...
