I know the goals are eloquence, assertive self acceptance and joy of speaking instead of fluency. Outsiders however don't really know what we mean by that. I'm in a rut at the moment. My coach and I w...

My advice is DO NOT prepare your speech, prepare your mind and your heart instead. This is the ultimate giving up of control....

Sure. You can keep making excuses for yourself or actually come to a realization that this is a problem that can be improved. Like I said I just graduated HS and I'm gonna be a freshman in college. I...

Nah man. I use to not even be able to say a word. I told myself I had a "severe stutter". Go and put yourself out there, don't stay in your comfort zone. There are people, living proof that it is pos...

That is when you work hard and bust your ass to make it not severe. Just because it is hard doesn't make it impossible. ...

I don't agree to this at all. If you have a skill you're really good at, and go in for an interview confident you will get the job. As someone who stutters and recently graduated from college. Three d...

Thank you, it really seems like a confidence thing more than anything with us stammerers. When I was working I could call up the tax man etc (with someone I knew present) no problems.. Now I can't ...

I always dread the thought of interviews, but in some ways i like the excitement leading up to it. When i am unemployed i do absolutely nothing all day, i make no new memories and every day just blend...

What a healthy attitude and a refreshing change from a lot of the negativity on this sub. Everyone is struggling with something, we just have to do the best we can. ...

Awesome, I love your attitude! That's fantastic. And you're right it's not fair, but life isn't fair. Lots of people face disadvantages, they're not all fluent cisgendered middle-aged attractive whit...

Actually, they wrote in the comments under: > Mind you, we did not intend to talk about the details of how to overcome stuttering. This video is about having the right attitude toward stuttering wh...

true. I'd like to know exactly what they did and what situations they put themselves into. But I guess it is still motivation....

Hey I'm a grad on the programme too! I'd have to agree, it's simply the best technique out there, I had tried practically everything before that. What McGuire region are you from, can I ask? :)...

There are courses in the US. I'm a graduate of the programme too. It's truely changed my life. This is not something they say but they do accept payment set over months rather than just in full....

One time I was giving a group presentation and during the planning process my group members were talking about how nervous they were. Then one guy says, "Imagine having to do this with a stutter. That...

Hey man, I feel you a lot. In no way am I trying to minimize what you're going through because I mirror a lot the sentiments you expressed- especially feeling like a shadow of my true self. Communicat...

Just wanted to share my experience

Just wanted to share my experience So I'm 18, just graduated HS and am going to college next year. Recently I just went to an orientation for my college where I had to stay the night. There were abo...

As a 30 year old dude with a stutter, "this" is not it. I've been stuttering for 26 years and it has really, really sucked. I know that I don't need to tell that to anyone here. Life with a stutter is...

I relate to most of the stuff that you are saying. I have spent many years hating myself and blaming all of my issues on my stutter. Most of them have their roots from it sure, but at some point you j...

I've only met a few in real life and it scares me when I hear another person stutter. It really makes me feel uncomfortable. I agree with the sub being negative which is why sometimes I try not to v...
