I didn’t put a huge impact on my stutter a couple years ago but I still felt like it helped me back. Once I started working with doctors PAs and patients that’s when I started to get more self-conscio...

I’m late to this question, as I can see in your edit that you already passed the first interview - Congratulations, well done ☺️ But to give an advice to others, on how to get through a job interview,...

You are so brave. Somehow listening to this just made me cry becoz this is how i speak. And for some reason ,everytime i stutter i feel so guilty about it and i avoid being interactive . But you are t...

I wouldn’t be able to do the math for the amount of time I should have spent making calls I never made. Missing opportunities, and appointments never made. I’m old enough to remember being emotionall...

Being forced to make phone calls has really helped me get over the fear. I still hate it but I'm getting better at it....

I'm super glad it worked for you. I guess I need to try that. Mines so bad now I can't even order a pizza. I can't even go to the doctors and pick up medication for myself. Crazy times...

Hmm I'm super self conscious. With my parents and wife at home I don't think I'd be bale to do that 😂...

Just gotta learn to not give a fuck. It’s taken me a loooooong time to get to that point. It’s helped ease the anxiety and fear of being on the phone. I’ve had people hang up on me and it is very di...

For me the advantage of the phone is that they can’t see me so I have more delay tricks that they can’t perceive. Closing eyes, nodding head a bit, making a fist, etc. Also, I can say “hm” or “ugh” ...

I've gotten way better over the years - still shy away from it more often than not but that's more just avoiding people yapping my ear off when they could've sent an email. I used to hate the process ...

Problematic but the more technical the convo the better my speech. Calls with a social or pseudo-social component are the worst. The more I call the more “passing as fluent” techniques I come up wit...

Many techniques taught inside the therapy room are simply *wrong*. It’s the equivalent of a doctor with improper training prescribing an antibiotic to a patient with some type of longterm food po...

Wow. Just. Wow. I've stuttered/blocked since the 4th grade and while I was listening to your recording (incredibly brave btw!) it dawned on me-- ok no, it hit me over the head like a sock stuffed wit...

You are describing a classic “covert stutter”. There are ways to decrease your blocks, but it’s extremely hard work...

As stutterers, I feel like we can’t hide shit. No matter how good I can act, if I’m Insecure, or anxious, or really trying to make a good impression (ie, NOT stutter)? I wear it on my sleeve and am bl...

Rough day

Rough day Today, I had a bad experience with a student’s parent (I provide OT services). I had to call the mom to ask a question and of course, my stutter is worse over the phone. First, I pronounced...

What do you do to prevent yourself from having a stuttering relapse when you’re speaking mostly fluently?

I try to act like I’m talking to a child or a foreigner, which automatically brings me to open my mouth more while speaking. That way some people I talk to haven’t even noticed my stutter....

Honestly I would say somewhat moderate. While I’m at work or back when I was in school not a lot of people knew I had a stutter as I learned to cover it by switching to different words quickly. But wh...

What my stutter sounds like

What my stutter sounds like Hi everyone, this is a recording of what my stutter sounds like. This is all the words I could get out but I wanted to add in there that I’m staying positive about my job h...
