I think you should be more open about your stutter. I recognize a lot in your post. I was also covert and very afraid of certain letters witch I know I block on. Since I be more open about my stutter...

im sorry but that's not going to work. In fact, it's just going to continue to lead you down the path of fear. If you do anything to reduce stuttering (aka stutter less), you are likely reinforcing th...

Your response seems to be in line with what /u/ShutupPussy said (LOL just noticed the username). I will put conscious effort into the ironic concept of accepting the stutter in an effort to reduce it...

Thanks for the detailed response! The idea of really being okay with being a person who stutters really resonates with me. I'm going to work on that! And thank you for the resources. :)...

Everything you said is pretty normal. There is no typical archetype because stuttering is very individualized for each person. Our genes, experiences, predispositions all make our stuttering unique to...

It basically boils down to this "The more I think about it, the more I stutter." When we are able to stay in the moment, with no fear of stuttering, we speak fine. It is when we project our thoughts i...

A few years ago I went to speech therapy, again. And again I heard that it doesn't matter that I stutter. That people who love me don't care if I stutter. That I don't have to be ashamed for my stut...

Welcome! I'm just like how you said you used to be.... Any tips on how to become more open and accepting of my stutter? ...

That's sad how you father thinks... makes me sad only when I read it. I'm sorry for you that your stutter is so bad. I can imagine how it is for you. I have a mild stutter but it effects my life for...

Haha, I'm not alone. I realy ask myself why it takes so long to come to this point??? For years and years my husband sad that I must not care about it. But my heart and brains where not on the same le...

Listen to the newest episode with Nick Weaver. You are just learning about acceptance for the first time. You're not supposed to be able to talk like them yet. That's not how this works. Let me tell y...

Self acceptence is exactly what i need, i become so weak mentally and everytime im facing anything. The first things comes to my head is that i will fail. StutterTalk makes me even more frustrated be...

Haha! Yes, it took me about as long to accept my stutter as being part of who I am. ...

True. Sometimes stuttering is difficult. And I let myself feel akward sometimes. But I'm not staying in that mood for long. It never killed me, so life goes on :)...

Welcome, Petra! Great message about coming out of hiding and not giving in to the shame. And yes, you can not hiding and still feel upset with bad speech and it is ok....

I completely agree with ShutupPussy. The techniques only works in a stress free environment, when you are faced with a real speaking situation your fear will be very high for the technique to hold. Fe...

New here Hai, I'm new on this forum. First, my English isn't so good, sorry for that, it's not my main language. I'm a 42 year old (or young :) ) women from the Netherlands. And I also stutter for ...

That's a very tough question. I'd like to be content with who I am, and not be concerned with trivial matters such as the way in which I'm perceived by others. It's a tough battle! I'll try and find a...

your disfluency is intense, not intensive* Sounds like what you did was Fluency Shaping therapy and your result is very typical. You go away somewhere, learn some new techniques that works at first b...

Yeah man when I was in speech therapy I had to read out loud for hours, make fake phone calls, and talk with a metronome. I've realized that confidence is a huge factor though. I'm at a point where I ...
