I cannot second the Vivian Sisskin series on Stuttertalk enough! It was instrumental in changing how I was viewing my therapy and I've shown much more improvement since (in both self-acceptance and, ...

Great post, I agree with everything! And no one is 100% fluent, not even non-stutterers....

Putting myself in the right frame of mind usually helps me. Im sure youre like many others, counting down the students to see which paragraph you'll be reading and scanning through it for words you ma...

Some progress... some tips

Some progress... some tips Hi guys! So for a long time I denied my stutter but my dad stutters and it's genetic. Looking back, it has DRAMATICALLY impacted my life. Recently, I realized two things t...

Thanks I found your reply very helpful. Going through this reddit more has really showed me a different way to think about stuttering. I'm 22 and started speech therapy a few months ago and up until n...

If he's gone to therapy he's likely seen these techniques already. And if this is the case, speech therapy may not be something he wants to talk about.That being said, you probably know him better tha...

Don't hold back. Keep going into social situations. Don't avoid speaking situations where this is occurring, it'll get worse. Overkill those feared situations and show yourself it's possible, keep doi...

That is definitely a different paradigm than I'm used to, I've always tried to hide it. It seems to be echoed throughout this post though, so it's obviously something worth looking into. Thanks! ...

Another one with a lot of courage. I really think you are doing great! I'm dealing fine with my stutter. But this should be something I never would do. Good job! ...

I teach at a university. Right now I'm teaching online, via webcam. I'm open about my stuttering and ask my students to let me know if it ever gets in the way. Other than that I talk and stutter openl...

Imagine the roll you could play in a young stutterers life.... I wish I had a teacher that stuttered and owned it when I was in high school. They might know you stutter, but do they actually know what...

All good. I'm actually comfortable with my stutter typically. It only becomes a problem when other people make it one....

Stuttering isn't something to feel ashamed about. Not saying that you are, that's just what I take from your comment here. Trying to make yourself not stutter internally, by whatever means, is not goi...

I'll keep that in mind. I can hardly fathom letting myself stutter, but at this point, it would probably be less distracting and obvious. This is my second year with them, so we know each other far t...

Since my stutter gets worse I also close my eyes now and then when I have a bigger block. Not for long. I know it's secundary behavior. But it is what it is. I don't really care much about it. If it ...

That is really awesome! You chose to do it because its what you're passionate about. You accepted the fact that you stutter and you do what you love. Is it hard sometimes? Probably, but you'll look ba...

Dude, you're seriously brave as hell. This is really admirable. As a fellow severe stutterer, you're doing something I wouldn't even dream of doing, but now i'm feeling inspired!...

I'm going to warn you about the click thing. You're developing a secondary behavior (or maybe it's already developed). I know when you're feeling the panic it's hard not to do what you instinctively d...

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the interview. I'd say to you the same as I said to the other commenter subtlefarts :) I think it comes down to the belief in mind over matter. Some people believe that th...

Good question. I've seen a lot of people comment on the fact that voluntarily stuttering more seems counter-intuitive. This is solely my own experience; I know nothing about how you stutter or you a...
