Thank you! Your advice was so on point. I’m definitely trying it next time. I'm replying to your comment now after I got back from the presentation this morning, and honestly… it went better than I e...

You adapt. You learn workarounds to get what you need. I’m socially awkward but I don’t feel restrained in life....

I've just become numb to the humiliation. Did you ever get that? Unfortunately, it's made me almost psychopathic in a social sense. I now find it tremendously difficult to care about what people think...

Disclosure is better than hiding the elephant in the room. I’ve always disclosed to my hiring managers and it’s always been a non issue for them (or my work colleagues and friends)....

I would be a social butterfly if I didn’t stutter. Like others have said it’s a constant battle between speaking or staying quiet. But I also take the path of fuck you, this is who I am, so deal with ...

You can still be that person. Life is short bro. I’m not saying it’s easy but I still do these things even though I stutter. It’s who I am. You can’t hide your whole life and wait till we’re 90 and sa...

100% my personalities would change dramatically if didn't have stuttering. I like to be extroverted, be with people, hang out, joke around. But the stuttering and anxiety keeps me away from being myse...

a lot people without stutters fail to impress girls on campus. Part of becoming comfortable with our disability is being able to logically assess our lives and not just incorrectly assign blame to th...

Your description seems very binary to me. On / Off. Stutter / Fluent. My view is more of a spectrum. Everyone has disfluencies of some nature, here or there. PWS have disfluency constantly, or near ...

How do you reconcile accepting yourself as a person who stutters while striving for fluency, which is the absence of stuttering? It's like telling someone it's ok to stutter but the goal of the therap...

Because of word substitution and all, I am really fycking sentence structures and sometimes I completely change the meaning. My language proficiency is also degrading day by day because of avoidance b...

You are way way way more than your stutter. If you like a girl, go talk to her. She won’t care about your stutter if she likes you as well. But If you’re trying to get her to like you merely by smoo...

I think you need to reword this. It's coming off not the way you think. Anyway, just be a nice person out there in the world. You have no idea why someone is attracted or not attracted to you, just l...

Just literally be a normal person and treat women as their own person instead of something you have to “impress”....

I've never understood how fluency and self acceptance are compatible. We are people who stutter. SLPs tell stutterers that who they are is ok, and in the next breath tell them they should to eliminate...

He espouses voluntary stuttering as a strategy to reduce blocks, avoidance behaviors, and panic/fear associated with speaking. If you define fluency strategies as “artificial ways to hide and/or el...

I don't think I said he purports to cure stuttering, only that he seems to focus on fluency which imo is totally the wrong direction as fluency incompatible with acceptance of being a pws. Also hearin...

Maybe I’m missing how that chunk of his bio describes himself as someone who pretends that stuttering can be cured. In his free podcasts, He speaks at great length about how stuttering will return...

I have found that if you relapse it means you have a stuttering brain. The brain will automatically goes back to its comfort level. It is both frustrating and annoying. I am a speech pathologist and I...

From his own bio: >Georgia licensed and nationally certified speech-language pathologist since 1992, he specializes in the evaluation and treatment of fluency disorders in Atlanta. As a severe stutter...
