I took speech therapy from grades 2-10. It didn't help, partly cause I didn't really try, but also cause sometimes breathing techniques simply don't always work for everyone, and that's all I been tau...

I don't mean to be rude, but you can't get rid of stutter by simply speaking more. It's not like learning to ride a bike or something. However, since the fear of stuttering is indeed a factor that go...

Hello, I have been struggling with this for as long as I could remember. I been embarrassed and felt hopeless many times. Sometimes i wonder what the heck is wrong with me? I hate being put on the spo...

I agree with the other poster, stuttering + anxiety. It's my assumption that when you talk you build up anxiety until you reach your maximum, and at that point talking becomes extremely difficult. Tak...

Congratulations and I'm glad for you! I hope you get the job! As a stutterer myself interviews have been hard for me as I tend to lose eye contact when I begin to stutter. I have an interview using Z...
