i just came back from the Mcguire program, changed my life, and worth every penny. I wished i did this sooner. Thanks for the heads up! On the 2nd day of class, they even offered to refund anyone that...

There's no cure for stuttering so I fail to see how one can work to be "stutter free". That's not the right message to send at all. ...

Honestly now that I've come to accept my stutter when I have moments of dysfluency they seem shorter. I think a reason stutterers observe these flare ups is because of a feedback loop of hearing their...

I don't think I would for two reasons: 1.) When I stopped practicing/using what I learned there, my disfluency was worse after having gone through the program than it was before the program. If I mai...

I suggest finding something other than fluency shaping or any therapy that focuses on fluency and teaches techniques (it's not the wonder fix it seems). I'd focus on finding ways to reduce the struggl...

Google "speech therapy" wherever you live. There should be many clinics that deal with stuttering. Speech therapy deals with many different aspects of stuttering, such as breathing, slowing your rat...

Yeah, stutter is known to vary like that. It's sometimes really unsettling when there's no explanation from it. But the more we get used to expecting it, the less it'll unsettle us, I think. It's not ...

Oh, it definitely had. My whole mentality changed after a breakdown about stuttering in university, but it was a long road to get over it from there. As I said, I can't say what's best for anyone el...

As much as I appreciate this sub for its supportive nature, I also love self depreciating funny posts like this. It's nice to be able to poke fun at ourselves sometimes! ...

I always say " F--- the stutter, I'm not gonna let it stop me from saying a single word."...

You are right, I would rather have a stutter with high self esteem than no stutter and low self esteem...

Your story sounds like min, except for the depression thankfully. > HOW can you handle the shame and the embarrassment. If you see someone with a lost leg, do you think worse of them? You hav...

Damn man, really hit home. I dropped out of my speech class freshman year. Approaching my senior year and still haven't taken it, but definitely taking that approach, who gives a shit if i stutter! On...

I have a block stutter as well, but it is not severe anymore. Now, it is mild (I usually only stutter when I am first introduced to someone). My stutter used to be really bad, and it would get to poin...

I know several people who have beaten it in the sense of not giving a shit any more. They're just getting on with their lives, having cool adventures and killing it at their jobs and not worrying abou...

i read in class !

i read in class ! in Swedish class I had to say a sentence. my heart was beating like crazy and i was expecting to mess up my words, but surprisingly my words were soft and quiet and they came out alm...

I've come to find that it's best to tell whoever you're with about said stutter from the get go, that way you both know what it is when it happens, and if it happens to me I usually just try to laugh ...

Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with you and I am already in the same mindset as in, the only true change can come from inside and what it really takes is for us to own our stutter. It make...

First, and most important, hi! What's swinging brother? Sounds like you're having a tough go of it right now and I wish I could take you for a drink and joint, give you a big hug and find a way to c...

Love this. Thank you for sharing. I'm not quite at the acceptance part yet, but I'm on my way there....
