Stuttering and good communication don’t necessarily disassociate. You could be good communicator in a lot of respects—eye contact, humor, politeness, outgoing, etc. you can work on all of those and st...

It's not just the technique it's the way you look at stuttering. Believe me, I've tried the whole tightening of the PR muscle thing and I can't find mine. Stuff he says about adjusting your paradigm ...

Awesome. I went to talk to a teacher about some homework, and afterwards he said he didn’t hear me stutter at all (he knew beforehand that I had a stutter). It really made me happy, and for the rest o...

I'd have to disagree with all the people recommending SSRIs. The side effects these drugs have are very serious. High School was a hard time for my stutter as well. My advice is to stop avoiding all t...

Yeah it's a bummer and I went through the same thing. It's a real disability and the fact that it is rare confuses people at first. I got therapy and it helped, and also it seems it gets easier with...

One more thing, the premise of accepting really annoys, me. Although, I believe accepting your stutter is very healthy, but if you are accepting your stutter, and doing nothing to manage/control/overc...

I don't think there is a certain way to cure it. You should work towards having a better control over stuttering. The most important part is not worrying about it. Say fuck you to those who make fun o...
