Not Canadian military, but I was in the the US Army as an infantryman. Only thing my leaders said was I definitely wasn't going to be a radio guy. When the adrenaline started pumping and it was show...

Don't be afraid, really. Your emotional health influences your physical health. My stuttering has returned but situationally. In conversation, I'm 100% fluent. Its only when trying to explain somethin...

That's a very common thing among people who stutter. The environment influences our mood which influences our nervous system which ultimately plays out our stutter....

My speech therapist has a client who fled from a warzone and developed stuttering after witnessing a massacre, so for him it definitely came after a serious traumatic experience. Whether he had a pree...
