My wishful thinking makes me believe that the cause of it is my consistant training with my friend. The reality is that I don't really know. I've noticed that I started to use the techniques, that I h...

Good news.

Good news. Recently I posted a thread in which I talked about a public discution I took part in and how I couldn't say a single word fluently during it. Well, today I had a power point presentation ab...

Hey, I can empathize with this a lot. I’m a rising 4th year at a US med school and am planning on going into internal. Ive felt the same qualms and thoughts when talking to patients. It’s so awkward h...

You shouldn't let your speech limit your career choices. And I wouldn't know which professions will fit you because that's based on self-discovery of who you are as a person, personality, goals, etc. ...

I'm a person who stutters and I will be a neurology resident in a few months. The specialty choice really depends on what you want to do. I worked with an ER doc who stuttered and he did his job well....

Hi! I would never discourage anyone from pursuing medicine. It truly is a noble calling and to see your patient come back after having responded to your treatment, there's no better feeling in the wor...

For context, I’m 40. I’ve always worked in creative spaces and let my stutter influence those jobs through the years. Eight years ago I set things up for myself to work in only web design. It happen...

Would you ever want someone to talk to about this? Because, if you would, I'd really like to. Background: I've just applied to medical school and got a place to start in September, so I'm a few years...

What to do next?

What to do next? I am 17 years old. I stammer. For the past year I have been addressing my stuttering (voice blocking) by reading books about stuttering (some from NSA's website, and what i think as a...

Don’t let stuttering hold you back. I have a stutter that is a lot better now compared to when I was a kid but still have some bad moments. Despite that, I have s girlfriend, a good job, and an active...

My identical Twin does not stutter but I do, can stuttering be genetic? Also, a little rant about stuttering, be nice to hear from others! :)

Dude, I know how you feel. I was in that state of mind before but it shall pass. You must accept your stutter as a way of life.. and only then will you be able to move past it where you still stutter ...

No, we are not limited in life. Everyone has problems. There is no use engaging in the Victim Olympics. I will say, I felt the exact same as you at 15. I've come to accept stuttering and think of it ...

There is hope. I stutter, yet I have a very successful career requiring lots of talking and more importantly a beautiful family including two kids. I haven't let my stuttering stop me from living. Yes...

For me it is about being able to say what I want so say, when I want to say it, and how I want to say it, in any situation. Do I sometimes stumble, yes! But I use my speaking tools to get back on tra...
