THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. Take it from a 49 year old. Blaming your parents is not going to solve anything it just helps you focus your anger on someone. I used to have such anger issues because o...

Great! I know the feeling :-) But remember... Even if you stuttered for 5 minutes just to say your name, it would be OK! Just look the guy straight in the eyes and never feel bad about your stutter, n...

I'm not entirely convinced we should be speaking about "triggers". Stutter varies a lot - all on its own, so to say - and it's not like we can somehow be fluent all the time, as long as we avoid "trig...

Huge win!! Sometimes when Im in situations where I have to say my name at a front desk setting I’ll just get around it by presenting my id so I applaud your bravery!...

Take it from a 49 yr old, for me (I can only speak for myself), I tried it along with Zyprexa, Lexapro. Etc....I didn't like the feeling of being like a zombie. Find a good speech language Pathologist...

Yes. Have you tried this 'Tongue neutral position'. I have been trying this for the past few days and it is working like a treat! The thing is, that basically the tongue plays a major role in the fac...

There are tons of people who stutter in college. People in college are mature and know what stuttering is, at least in North America. For most of us, the biggest thing that's holding us back is oursel...

Work as a senior engineer in tech (one of the big tech companies ) I actually love my stutter as I feel it makes me who I am. I've also found that I am much more aware of my blocks than work colleag...

Funny thought

Funny thought Anyone else feel oddly at peace but also uncomfortable when talking to another stutterer? It’s like oh fuck they definitely know I have a stutter but they know exactly how I feel at the ...

What works for me the most is slowing my rate down. Not longer pauses between words, but to slowing my overall speech gives me more control and a better feel of what I am doing as I speak. We ...

by essentially doing what i wrote above while working on being better at recognizing changes in levels in anxiety and controlling it by forgiving myself when i stutter and being my own champion...

in my opinion, and with all due respect i assure you, you seem to be trying to align a social construct with a reality of yours that wont really ever line up seamlessly. as a stutterer, there are goi...

first of all, please don't apologize. your commitment gives the rest of us moments of purpose to give back to something we also know intimately and makes us us. secondly, i'm happy for you that you'v...

i'm a guy, so haven't been in your shoes exactly. but, i spent the better part of 20 years not being able to consistently say my own name. so, i've dealt with this for my whole life. i used to make up...

well, if they actually do, then i would take it as a very genuine, mature way of building a connection with you. i remember being a young guy and thanking my lucky stars whenever someone would do that...

i've never tried to adopt this as means to successfully stay fluent in everyday back and fourth. but, i was a vocalist in a band for a long time. singing has the same impact. stutterers don't stutter ...

my parents were like you when i was younger (i'm 33 now), and i was much like your son. the greatest gift you can give your son is 1. time, and 2. a safe space. when i would lock up in the car for wha...

surround yourself with people who won't judge you for a stutter. most extended bouts of disfluency happen because things snowball or disfluency compounds and there's nothing you can do about it when y...
