Congratulations on your progress! I'd still argue that you started performing those actions because you decided to face your fears (instead of running away from it). THAT is the mindset shift I was ...

For me, there were tricks that *enabled* me to change my mindset. 1. Make many phone calls and do voluntary repetitions, talking as much as possible, while looking at myself in the mirror. 2. Begin...

I apologise, I was making a general point rather than directly addressing your point, which was of course entirely valid. I've just heard many people equate acceptance with resignation. Sorry for not ...

That isn't what I meant by it at all, I've described in other comments here how I've found ways to make speaking easier for me. Nowhere did I suggest that I've resigned myself to stagnation, just that...

I'm in my 30s and now I only stutter in certain situations instead of basically all the time like I did when I was younger. I don't know if this makes sense but I've just figured out how to speak in s...

I'm the opposite, I stutter way more in English than I do in my native language, to the point where I sometimes can barely speak in English while sometimes being able to hide the fact that I have a st...

This is a very important step towards freeing the mind of the burden of self-shame caused by a stutter. Speech therapy is hit or miss for many of us, which is why I think that complete fluency shoul...

Yes I had. The key here is the work. Follow the methods as you said it. You won´t solve stuttering reading a concept or understanding a big truth. You can´t solve it like a math problem. You HAVE to ...

Nice! It was mind opening for me when I realized this. It meant I could work on my stutter, instead of work on a fear response (which for me was blocking). My thoughts are that blocking is a behaviou...
