When you think about stuttering what do you think about? What do you believe will happen and/or what meaning do you attach to it? Projecting on listeners and/or personalizing the stutter both cause ...

I think I may have the same type of stutter as you... for me I recognised to best control my stutter is to focus on reducing my nerves and my focus on my stutter. I (don't think anyway) that I have s...

Co-workers expect me to answer the phone for them.

Co-workers expect me to answer the phone for them. I am a data entry and phone receptionist for a small retail store. I have been employed by them for three years. Part of my duties include bookkeepin...
