Heyy a therapist as in regular therapist or speech therapist? I realized that I need to accept myself only way my speech can come out fluently and not be something I’m not. But it’s hard as I see s...

My tip would be to live life as if you didn't have a stutter. ...

It's rare at this age for sure, but bit unheard of. I know someone who started at this age. My biggest advice is not to try to hide and control your stutter. That only layers in bad habits and shame. ...

Lol. It just and idea. Why so much hate. I never claimed to be right or wrong. Just read something that make sense to me on my book and wanted to share. If you argument with that kind of hate regardl...

I know this isn't everyone's experience all the time - but when people stutter openly, use an unapologetic disclosure statement, and focus on the content of the conversation - as opposed to trying to ...

Newly developed stutter?

Newly developed stutter? In middle school and early high school, I was very talkative and known as the class clown. Then the pandemic happened, and I just stayed inside and barely spoke to anyone. Sin...

Tell the truth. Don't project a false image of yourself to lessen the reality of your situation. Be truthful and honest with why you think you don't deserve it, if that's really what you believe. I ca...

Hey man, I'm sorry you've had some tough experiences. You deserve to be heard whether you hardly stutter at all or stutter on every word! I know it's hard to feel that when it seems like others aroun...

I’m in the same boat! I’m 27 and my stutter has been quite severe these past few years. I’d say most days, it was around 6-8. Started using Citalopram in November of 2023; right around when I started ...

Thank you for commenting! Yeah it’s like… I’ve gotten so used to saying the term ‘words’ when I stutter that now it’s a compulsory thing and that’s hard for me to accept. Since this post I even did s...

I used to use a lot of filler words when I felt a block to get my vocal cords phonating um, well, etc and then use that word to blend into the next. I don’t feel that ultimately helped me accept my s...

Three Years on Lexapro: A Transformative Journey to Overcoming Stuttering

Three Years on Lexapro: A Transformative Journey to Overcoming Stuttering I’m four weeks into Lexapro and seeing amazing results. Most importantly, it took my speech impediment away, almost completely...

Well sure, you don’t owe ‘em anything! Fuck ‘em :). But for me it’s for my own benefit of wanting to feel understood. Just like I would be bothered if they got my name wrong. Leaning into a pronounce...

If you're asking... It's time to mention it. Otherwise you're going to let it grow into something larger than it needs to be. Your disfluency shouldn't be a secret. It shouldn't be an issue. You're u...

Always disclose it before meeting. It really makes me feel relaxed otherwise i just try to hide it and this makes it even worse....

As someone who stutters and used dating apps in the past, I say to disclose it before you meet. They most likely won't care if you stutter or not. They may be taken aback though if their first time kn...

When to tell I stutter

When to tell I stutter I met someone online and I was wondering what the best approach is to mention that I stutter. I think my stutter is mild to moderate, depending on the situation. People can defi...

I agree, and Tony's premise or insinuations about things like stuttering may be wrong, hilariously so in fact, but his methods and help does work and help. So far, even the people who disagreed with ...

It’s an opportunity. An opportunity to train my mind that stuttering is not a big deal, and I can take away its power over me....
