Support him in every way possible. Perhaps help him to challenge his anxieties and give him the room to grow. As long as he knows he has "permission" to, you should see some changes in him. Some other...

I already am fluent. Did you watch the video I shared, and others of mine? Those goals that you've mentioned do help you to achieve fluency. But why stop once you've achieved those things? There's alw...

Do not avoid situations you would like to avoid, this will make things go from bad to worse. Finding a way to cope with the problem, and, more importantly, becoming a confident speaker, should be the ...

Great to hear! Remember, therapy should never be about being able to speak fluently x% of the time, it's about you being okay with the occasional disfluency and becoming a confident speaker....

I had a speech therapy session today

I had a speech therapy session today I am trying speech therapy again. The last time I tried it seven years ago it ended badly. Chalk it up to lack of maturity and drive to really do well but now I am...

But why do you want to be fluent? So you can communicate better with people? Be happier? Have a better life? IME, it's best to focus on these goals than the arbitrary goal of being "fluent". Putting p...

I hear what you're saying. To me, it's pretty clear cut. People want to do something about their stutter i.e. be fluent speakers. You can generalise the end goal because it's the big goal that most, i...

I fully agree that gaining a sense of empowerment and control is essential on becoming more fluent - i've said something similar in my [post about a book for self-therapy](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stu...

I think we can both agree that fluency is when you speak with great ease and showing no signs of stuttering (the odd em's etc. doesn't count). What you've said about "no guarantee this method works ...

Agreed. Setting goals is important, but I guess what is more important is setting *your own* goals. Trying to live up to other people's standards without introspection can sometimes be counterproduct...

I agree that stutter exercises/programs only work with a proactive approach and by getting outside your comfort zone. However i don't quite understand what your definition of fluency is. For me, fluen...

That happens regardless of whether you strive for fluency or do nothing about it. That part of feeling down soon goes away over time. ...

Deal with it. You'll get stronger the more you expose yourself to this stuff. Yes, it sucks terribly at the time, but it's the right move for the long term. I remember those days and can empathize. ...

Thank you for sharing this video. In 3 minutes, you have reignited my determination to achieve fluency. I subscribed to your channel, will go through your other videos in the next couple of days and l...

Interesting question. I'm 6'6" and I've always felt pretty good about my height. I'm quiet enough usually that my height prolly does me more favors than not stuttering....but the idea of being able to...

Why you should never settle in your quest for fluent speech

Why you should never settle in your quest for fluent speech I've spoken about people who have "settled" in the past and it's had quite a mixed response. People understood and acknowledged my points bu...

Never! I'm close enough that I can refer to myself as "about 6 feet tall" and would hate to be 5'5"...

That would make me under five feet tall, but as a woman that's not so bad. Yes I would trade. My whole life would be different without the stuttering. I could enjoy the freedom to speak and my listene...

Lol what is this Anyway the average height of males in my country isn't really that high, so I wouldn't lose much from the trade. But I guess I'll keep my height for now, it makes stuff like basketba...

At this point, I'm 19 and halfway through university. I've accomplished a lot with it and I'm loving and being more comfortable with myself. I don't think really think I'd trade it as it's truly just ...
