I've done debates in front of large groups of people before. You can't just stop feeling something by telling yourself to stop(for example: don't think of a white elephant), but you can redirect focus...

There is no cure. Speech therapy can help you learn tactics to deal with stuttering as it comes. Yoga/other can help with your breath. Mental health services can help you weather the frustration and i...

I meant that stutter is like a wave, and if you are at the peak you may not see the decline, but you HAVE TO belive that the decline exsists, because it does....

I change my perspective on how I’m feeling. When I’m stressed or scared or anxious about talking I remind myself that that panic feeling is actually my body getting prepared for me to do great. My hea...

Highest total comp was ~$195K. Right now it's about $155K. I'm Sr. Software Engineer. When my comp was higher, I was managing, but I only did for 18 months at a different company than where I work now...

I am not sure about the goal of this post. The salary really depends on your location and the profession that you are in. For example, a Software Engineer in one location can make a different wage tha...

The sky is the limit brother. Get rid of the belief you are worth less because you stutter....

I'm a transportation engineer and make $60k in Pennsylvania. I know people who stutter who are/were a college professor (retired), vice principal of a school, VP of a company (retired, was also a Mar...

What a great post and you definitely have the right mind set. I’m beyond scared to speak in front of groups. Luckily my job doesn’t require it but I do have to explain stuff to someone occasionally. I...

 Last time I had a presentation was 2 years ago. I had to speak for at least 5 minutes and my stutter as I said is so severe. Do it if you had to and you will not regret. The feeling afterwards is so ...

You're very welcome. He's probably feeling hopeless that any medication would help but we all react differently to head meds. Maybe the last one just didn't work well for him but you'll just have to w...

Hey there, as a person who is also on the McGuire program, , I can tell you that ups and downs are normal and expected, and the program isn't a "cure" and the techniques gives him control over his s...

Just wanna say - I am just in my final year of a performance degree and I have a speech impediment. It started out as a stutter and has now developed into a stutter and full blown dysarthria. And so...

I've seen improvements in my own speech from both 1) sharing and expressing emotional things and 2) physical practice speaking. It sounds like you'd gain a lot from a friend to confide in, even if it ...

First: Don't pay attention to Dr. Phil. Listen to actual professionals instead. Second: If you feel like doing speech therapy again, definitely go do that! Therapy can be fickle in that it's not nece...

I'm playing with the idea that to win you have to have confidence in what you say and that's what stifles the stutter. For me, when I get a phone call I'm more likely to stutter compared to if I call...

Just wanted to share a little victory: I've been consistently running a D&D game!

Just wanted to share a little victory: I've been consistently running a D&D game! **Warning: Longish** (tl;dr at the bottom) My favorite hobby is tabletop RPG's, more commonly referred to as "Dun...

That's awesome man. I had a similar experience as a senior. I performed a poem in front of the whole school without stuttering. It felt great. This was 16 years ago. Somehow I've let my stutter contro...

Awesome story man! This made my day. This is that breakthrough moment we can all have. It may not be on quite this big of a stage, it could be phonecall or a walking up and chatting with that cutie ...
