Good luck my friend, I hope it all goes amazingly well for you and that you are able to manage your stutter or get rid of it completely. And if it doesn't work? then that's just the life you, I and m...

I work in marketing and communications, and part-time as a freelance journalist. My stuttering also ranges from moderate to severe. I've always considered it kind of ironic that I used to avoid using ...

My father is not alive. My mother does not work nor supports me or ever has. We simply live together like roommates. It is not easy to find a stable job as a stutterer. I've moved back home while ...

I've worked with a few doctors now, at various points in their careers (med student, resident, fellow, attending) and in various specialties. A "pattern" I've noticed is that most physicians-in-train...

I'm an attorney who has been a life long stutterer. I am a litigator in court, and I can tell you that I still get worried about stuttering during a cross-examination. I consider myself successful (th...

Your children will not "learn" to stutter by interacting with you. I cannot emphasize this enough. Same principle as accents-- children of speakers with foreign accents are able to parse through diffe...

Thanks for the response. For the kids question. Sometimes i think ( i think about my future a lot lol), what if my kids learn the mechanics of speech the wrong way because of me? If I had a child t...

Long-term it really depends on the person. Mindset/attitude is (in my opinion) the most critical and impactful way to "manage" a stutter. The physical tools you learn in speech therapy can be helpful ...

When I was in my early 20's I enlisted as an Army interrogator. I chose that b/c I knew if would force me to deal with my stutter. I learned a lot about managing my stutter and talking about it with o...

Thank you for sharing, I'm a fellow mild-stutter my self and I completely agree with every one of your points. While I do not have it as bad as others, we all have our bad days and on those days, I ...

I feel the same man, just turned 20, in college, but my social life in non-existent. I had friends my first year(which i've always made friends rather easily because my easy going nature), but they ha...

I had speech therapy in high school, and some during school before that. But not since. What she taught me in high school was pretty basic, but it's helped a lot -- your breath is like a full balloon...

I'm 29 now, and the only advice I have is that 20 is a really shitty year. Trudge through it, things do get better....

Same problem, same age, stuttering since I can remember. Fear will always be a factor in our lives. I fear talking to people on a daily basis. Not a moment goes by that I wish I could take that "magic...

Its really good to hear that you are facing your stuttering and arnt letting it control your life!. As for toast masters i've never done it myself but thhe institute talks about it a lot. There is act...

I do what is called shaping practice in the morning which is speaking from a extremely slow rate to normal over the period of 20 minutes. I do this as soon as i wake up and do it while i get ready for...

Well it defiantly improved dramatically. My stutter was never horrible but i had a lot of problems with blocks and i had some pretty bad days. Since the program my speech has gotten significantly bett...

>I'm terrified. If this doesn't help either, I dont know what to do. speech therapy isn't "_one try only_", so put that worry out of your mind immediately. you're not going in there to get _fixed ...

I took the program a year ago, and it's worked out really well. It takes a lot of commitment and work but it really is worth it. You just have to keep up with the practice....

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind. Hopefully if this works as well as it seems, it will be adopted more broadly. ...
