Is it just me or you guys also can't watch a video of someone/yourself stuttering?

I have nothing positive to say about Lee Lovett. For all his advertising of a "cure" for stuttering, you will still have a stutter; you will just put in more effort to hide it. I've read half of this ...

I had a teacher in high school that was convinced my stutter meant I hadn’t studied (because, in her opinion, it was showing I was insecure). I literally memorized her lessons word for word, and even ...

The shame you feel comes from the part of you that doesn't want to 'accept' the stutter, and thereforefore fuels the negative feedback loop. Imagine you're talking to a baby, or a dog or a wall, would...
