DAE think we should have a 'weekly wins' thread

DAE think we should have a 'weekly wins' thread I used to be pretty active on r/loseit and iirc they have a weekly thread where you can celebrate victories of all sizes. E.g someone is proud of themse...

Yes, I know of that programme, but it's not like it's the foundational manual for stutter. Whatever is in those pages is not sacrosanct. Also, of course stutterers can improve. That's what we're both...

You're not alone. It took me a very very long time to be more comfortable with myself and my stutter. In school it was hard because kids are ruthless but once I was old enough to realize that I don't ...

1.If you read Dave McGuire's 'Beyond Stuttering', sports analogies are everywhere in the book. He actively tells people to think about speech as some kind of sports. The McGuire programme, as you may ...

My 'stutter days', do you have them too?

My 'stutter days', do you have them too? Hi! This is the first time I'm posting on here so be gentle please :p I'm 19 an have been stuttering my whole life. Some years worse than others and especially...

Thank you so much for your thoughts. I guess I just really need to work on myself and let go of being too conscious about it!...

Video game If you don’t want to read play videogames with mic and force yourself to talk you can be a douche bag a good person or just a dick head the point is force yourself to talk and be more confi...

The Telephone

The Telephone My first post in the sub! I’m a 40 year old lifelong stutterer. Partial word, whole word and blocking (the one I fear the most!)Probably thought to be mild in adulthood, though I wouldn...

Well its because its the brain that has something diffirent. Ya are born with it. I have been going to a licensed speechtherapist and she explained it all to me. Helped me accept it more. It really is...

even if u successfully hide your stuttering the next time, it'll be back. Embrace it, people don't really care that we stutter, yes they find it funny but trust me no one actually cares. I self isolat...

I don't think swimming is like stuttering. In fact, I don't think we should compare stuttering to any old activity we want to improve in. It's not an activity or skill we're talking about here. It's t...

Thanks for that well articulated reply, but I disagree with a lot of what you say. 1.Instead of 'don't think about stuttering', I think it's far more helpful if people with our condition divert thei...

I think perhaps your approach (in your question) is not put together right. Allow me to elaborate: - • For one, I don't think it's a good idea to tell ourselves "don't think about stuttering". We do...

Thank you for your comment but I think it was misconstrued. Everyone is equating Stuttering as a medical condition therefore medications would be the appropriate treatment. I have accepted my stut...

I dont stutter when I 'forget' that i stutter.

I dont stutter when I 'forget' that i stutter. Like sometimes I would wake up and my mind would be occupied with thoughts of the long day awaiting me in college or whatever, and I would be speaking fl...

This is the way to go. Let her know up front and she might even find it cute. She'll never have that chance if you hide/avoid....

When I first met my boyfriend he didn’t care at all that I stutter. He never mentioned it and I didn’t mention it. It’s just one of those things that people don’t really care about unless you care. Ju...

Just tell her you stutter. She'll find out anyway. I usually say, I stutter, I'll say what I want to eventually..I'll just sound like shit doing it. Bear with me. Bare with me. We either dress like ...

Always had success just bringing it up and sort of making fun of myself in a light hearted way. If you don’t take it seriously, she won’t either. Most girls will think it’s cute if it’s clear you’re s...

I've always had my dates be very understanding about stuttering, and would you really wanna be with someone who wasn't understanding about it anyways...
