Love this post. I totally agree with what you wrote. Reminds me very much of techniques taught by Claire Weekes - which was more about how to cure panic and how to overcome fear/anxiety and making fr...

Exactly! Anticipating having bad speech and stuttering was what I used to do daily! Seriously! There are ways how to lessen the anticipation of stuttering. One of the things that started me on the ...

I've had a severe stutter too ever since i was a kid. i'm in my early 20s now and it becomes worse sometimes even now. Ive been working for 3 years now. The reason is that i wanted to put myself out t...

I wish I knew lol! I also suffer from a severe stutter but I think it stems from my strive for perfection when talking. I can say something that has helped a bit is more exposure. Even if I have a sev...

I would say I’m a person with a severe stutter, too. On bad days, I can only get 2 or 3 words out in a minute. It sounds to me like you should consider the possibility of psychological help, if at a...

>She didn’t even remember I had a stutter until I told her about a few dates in. Yours must be mild (at least at the time) bcs i dont have to tell someone i stutter. They will know when i say the fi...

Haha you won't offend me. I love my mum and think she has many great qualities but she also has her own flaws, and being very judgemental and opinionated is one of them. You do make a good point that ...

Honestly I’m tryna build confidence with my stutter! So I stutter on my name so what, it occurs maybe I’ll let them know I do but I won’t apologize or say sorry that I do something I can’t help! I’ll...

So idk if yours will be different, but I took it online, made sure that the fact that I stutter was in my introduction speech (while stuttering to really get the point across), and I got an A in the c...

I wish I was confident enough to say to anyone that I have a stutter. I feel ashamed admitting it, but on the other hand trying to hide it is so tiresome 😢...

uhhh idk if this is gonna offend you, if it does my bad but I would’ve called any individual that acted like your mom an asshole, for 1. She’s pointing out a very nitpick qualities that’s not hurting ...

It's not what you should be doing and that SLP didn't understand stuttering. But most don't. You're right though that our stuttering usually sounds worse to us than others and all the extra things we...

Hmm.. I don't really see the problem. I mean the point is to communicate what you want to say right. And this secondary behaviour that you've developed is just an inflection of your voice. It allows ...

this might sound harsh but you gotta stop doing beneficial internal work for the sake of others and do it for yourself, and it’s not your job to interpret individuals and have their approval on your l...

"We don´t care about your stuttering"- How do you feel about this?

"We don´t care about your stuttering"- How do you feel about this? Hello y´all, I´ve hearing frequently people dont care about my stuttering and that I should just talk, fluency aside, and chose wo...

yeah I was facing this issue to and what’s helping me rn, which won’t work for everyone, is recognizing my instincts(the fast witted thoughts/impulses/survival modes in the brain) and my consciousness...

I understand that now, esp coz I don't have much of a choice anymore. But when i first started it always felt really demeaning and embarrassing to fail to communicate and resort to writing instead. No...

If you teach yourself to tolerate the discomfort, your life will improve significantly. Its an unfortunate reality, but we have to withstand embarrassment to live our lives....

If you’re willing to let socialization go, why aren’t you willing to let go of embarrassment first? Im not trying to be dismissive or kick someone when they’re down. But ask yourself that question. ...

you’re being wayyy too hard on yourself, and you’re also expecting yourself to talk “normally” when that’s not really a thing, there’s a vast numbers of ways to communicate. Your brain is obsessed on ...
