I've read this as well as some of John Harrison's work(https://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/kuster/Infostuttering/Harrison/john.htm this speech transcript i highly recommend). They made an impact on me in that...

I read a lot of books and did all the therapy as a kid, but now that I'm 21 I feel like I've matured enough to finally try applying what I read. It's still a daily struggle, but I've improved a lot I ...

I'm in the same boat. Read all the books, nothing helped. Quit going to speech therapy and was honestly just fed up with everything. I was perusing Mankato State University's site and just stumbled up...

It sounds like sleep is useful to you! With the complexity of stuttering, sleep can probably help in many aspects - improved confidence, decreased anxiety, more cognitive reserves, etc, and likely var...

to OP: not being happy is not because of your stutter, its because you are 17. if you didnt stutter you would think you were too tall, too short, too smart, too dumb, or anything else. we are socia...

personally, i have my down moments about it (just look at my post history in this sub) but nine days out of ten it simply doesnt bother me. dont get me wrong, it sucks when you order the burger when ...

Wow. This hit home. What a powerful presentation and story. She speaks so fluently and confidently that one would never guess that she had a speech impediment. Someday, I hope to be able to do the s...

I love you, too. I hid my stutter for years, and so I hid myself as well. I wasted so many years being scared. I still am sometimes. Hell, I'm waiting for a date to show up to meet her for the first ...

You *have to* endure and you *have to* push yourself each time further and further. And you will get there eventually, you just need to focus and find your specific way how to get rid of it. As I men...

I've ingested mostly just psychedelics. A little MDMA. And more than my share of cannabis. I really don't think any of them had a marked affect on my speech, positive or negative. As far as stimulants...

That sucks man. I've been there. I know it's hard but you gotta face some of this stuff. Some people think courage is something you have but in reality it's something you actively do. So what if you w...

Sorry for making sound like that. Yeah, i'm not telling you to just do it. depending on where you are in your stuttering journey, oftentimes you cant "just do it" and trying to can sometimes backfire....

If you havent been to the NSA conference, I really think you need to go. I've met some people with a lot of disfluency. A lot. Who still "do it anyway". the difference is they've learned and practice ...

I understand your point: stuttering kind of defines us, both for good and bad things. But I really doubt that anyone enjoys the feeling of not being able to speak at the rate their brain produces word...

You stand just as much of a chance as the next person. I know what you're saying, I see that too. "Excellent communication skills both oral and written" and it might be for a job like catching chicken...

So what if you do stutter on the word? Would that be that big of a deal? Try to "slide" into the word with as much ease as you can with just a slight "r" sound. You might still stutter, but you might ...

Badass. You know, I find it really helps to hang around good people. Ive had a stutter/blocking issue my whole life. I think whats helped me the most is having friends who i can talk to about it. My f...
