I am a few steps ahead in your career path. I joined as an engineer, made senior and then was promoted to team lead managing 5 people. Being a lead meant I had to join more calls with third parties ...

I agree - I’ve openly disclosed my stutter at job interviews and have landed most jobs I’ve gone for. It takes the elephant out of the room and you feel more relaxed. Yes, you will still block, but th...

I'd rather stutter than face the dependency on these drugs or deal with their side effects....

The interviewer knows you'll be nervous as everyone they interview will also be nervous. And remember the person interviewing you was interviewed by someone else for that job so they know exactly what...

I strongly believe it’s how you handle it when it happens. As others in this thread have rightly said, many many people one encounters in the workplace are dull and have very little to say that’s uniq...

Defense mechanism and stuttering

Defense mechanism and stuttering Have you ever used devaluation to avoid feeling ashamed of your stuttering (like, "why I should worry about them if they worse then me")? How do you overcome this? Thi...

I've had great experiences with microdosing magic mushrooms But i think that's less because of the mushrooms themselves, and more the mindset you put yourself into with them. I've since achieved m...

Yes mate there is. As we know already that , stuttering has no 100% cure but , Olanzapine and Risperidone really improve neurological developmental stuttering fluency a lot according to what I read on...

Agree. I used to have these horrible blocks and repetitions. Through facing my fear, changing my mindset, and going to speech therapy I have been able to speak fluently 75-80% of the time instead of l...

I agree with you and have the same experience. I have reduced my stutter by 60-70% and its impact on my life by at least 80%. I can also speak perfectly fluent when alone, so I obviously don’t have a ...

Hi I guess I consider myself as having been cured from stuttering, but disagree where you say I probably didn’t have a stutter.  The cure for myself is that I can answer a phone, host a meeting, and ...

Hello. I’m now in my 50s and I’ve had a stutter since the age of 7. School was very tough, like you, there were so many times where I knew the correct answer but did not raise my hand to give the ans...

Some people find just not giving a fk really helps them because they’re not self monitoring their speech so much, which takes the pressure and anticipatory anxiety away from speaking situations. The f...

So this ended up longer than expected, lol. But I hope it helps! I first started allowing myself to stutter freely around a "safe person," which was my wife. I told her I was ready to try to stutter ...

Either your dose was higher than what's required for stuttering or you don't suffer from classic developmental neurological stuttering. Because antagonists work for neurological stuttering. ...

Nice post! I've been trying to tell people this very thing for a while now. I like how the article mentions Claire Weekes. I've read her books and know her work quite well. I ended up in a accute pa...

Management is often full of people spewing meaningless hot air management speak and accomplishing nothing. What worked for me was speaking plain-truth and having no fear in pointing out the elephant i...

yeahh always and mostly i try to substitute the word with a suitable synonym which i feel like i won't stutter on.. this way most people don't know i stutter....

I moved into team lead and then senior management and then executive management. I've stuttered all my life and block and do all of the usual stuttering stuff. Tried various forms of speech therapy an...

I’ve had the stutter for as long as I can remember. I mostly stutter when I’m anxious or on certain words like my name and job title. It’s easier for me to speak to my family and close friends. I don’...
