I think we try so hard not to stutter, consciously or unconsciously, that we can't even let ourselves repeat like that. We have such an aversion to "suttering" or looking/sounding like a stutterer tha...

Yeah, at least in our stuttering behaviors. I dont know what kind of therapy you've had or how much youve read but check out avoidance reduction. Our blocking is us holding back, not allowing ourselve...

Don't miss the forrest for the trees. You faced your fear and it came true. But what else happened? a) you successfully completed the task - congrats. That takes courage and conviction. Don't sell...

I'm open. Always. I can be fluent if the situation requires, but I don't see the need to hide who you are. Best defense is a good offense IMO...

I had never the chance to hide my stuttering. I hated stuttering, but am ok with it now....

I hate it when I have a great idea and I automatically chose the synonyms of the words I want to say, and it doesn't come across how I want it to. I've been stuttering mildly for years, I've finally a...

Katherine Preston, author of the book "Out With It" handles her stutter very well. It's interesting to see how she gently persists through each block and manages to get her words out after a 2-3 tries...

I ran into a guy nearly two years ago who had a profoundly different relationship with his stutter than I do. I'm constantly surfing these threads of words which I know won't trip me up, even though i...

I feel more comfortable talking to other people who stutter. They know the struggle I go through and they won't judge me for not being fluent. ...

Personally, it makes me feel a bit more comfortable as I know the other person won't judge me as they're in the same position. Worked as a bike shop mechanic/sales person, and was able to sell a lady ...

If there was one tidbit of knowledge I could put in every stutterer's mind it would be this: Stuttering in no way decreases the meaningfulness of your speech. Your message is important, your words mat...

PSA: Think of yourself as a Person Who Stutters (PWS), instead of a stutterer

PSA: Think of yourself as a Person Who Stutters (PWS), instead of a stutterer If you think of yourself as a stutterer, you're letting it define you as person, instead of just something we all have to ...

True. A few months ago I told someone I wouldn't date someone who stutters. Looking back on it, I feel really shitty. Like you said, there's something incredibly unbearable about two PWS struggling to...

Patrick, I can relate. Reading what you wrote was weird because I felt like it was me writing it. I'm totally down to being good friends. In fact, we're all friends here. You won't ever stop stutterin...

My names Jackie. I'm 20 years old and currently in college. I've had a severe stutter ever since I can remember. I think I knew about it so young because my twin sister speaks fluently so I was always...

Thanks for your detailed and long reply. I'm not afraid as I no longer avoid speaking situations, I'm calm during them, and there are no signs of stress either before or after blocking. I'm not at a...

I used to, but I changed my thoughts on the matter. I really don't care what people think of my speech, or me as a person. I can watch the kings speech etc with no problem. ...

Congratulations on not fearing blocks and for putting yourself into communication interactions that might make you uncomfortable. Neither of those are small things. You should be proud. Can I ask som...
