Exactly. In my case, there is no actual cure for my stuttering. I wish I was one of those people that stuttered when they were younger and it magically left when they got older. 48 yrs old here, still...

Maybe it is a disability but I currently do consider my stutter a disability. I refuse any victimhood status as cringey and cliche as that sounds. You can say I am high functioning since I work front ...

Super late I know but my stutter was incredibly severe. I was breathing with my shoulders, couldn't get the words out, gasping for air, blocking etc etc etc. I tried it all as a kid, but the only thin...

Flu Shot

Flu Shot Has anyone’s stutter increased a lot after getting a Flu shot? If yes, how long did it take for your speech to get better?...

For me it’s either I’m really confident or I’m in one of my good 2-3 weeks where I only stutter very infrequently. Otherwise, I stutter and stammer every 2-3 sentences....

Yes and it’s infuriating and I’m over 40 years old. Been happening my whole life and I really have yet to figure out why. I prepare or don’t prepare, it doesn’t see to have an impact....

I still stutter of course, but the amount has SIGNIFICANTLY dropped. I’m almost fluent of course I still get blocks here and there. But it helped me so much! How it works is it replays your voice at a...

So yeah this happens to me often. Sometimes I speak so fluently that even I am surprised, sometimes I can't get the words out. This happens when I am talking to my family or friends. But I noticed one...

I either give the best presentation ever or I stutter like I never did in my life.

I either give the best presentation ever or I stutter like I never did in my life. Does this also happen to any of you? Do you know what the reasons could be? I think I'm just as nervous every time I'...

Those can be great tools if you want to be fluent at a precise instant to me. I really like the simplest ones, which are just "speak in syllables" and "slow down your speech", if I want to talk withou...

What do you want us to do? Do you think it’s anxiety/stress induced or neurological? When did it start? If it’s anxiety/stress relax you could overcome that. If it’s neurological well your shit out of...

Look, I’m not sitting here pretending it’s on the same level as being paralyzed or blind or anything. I get that. But let’s be real for a second: pretty much every major milestone in life is decided b...

28 here, and in a business development role with a stutter. I feel you in feeling silly for getting the job that I love. Firstly, these thoughts are normal. It’s normal to have ebbs and flows with yo...

There is a lot of information on Valsalva in relation to stuttering on the internet. I got my information from William Parry. I did not do his program I only followed his research....

Could you recommend any articles or videos on the Valsalva response for stuttering?...

I stutter when alone or when I’m reading out loud to myself. I stutter when I’m relaxed or stressed. What I don’t like is when people say I stutter because of how I feel or because I’m making a big d...

In my opinion if someone achieves genuine fluency as an adult and they had been stuttering since childhood, they didn’t have real stutter in the first place....

I achieved genuine fluency when I discovered the Valsalva response. I discovered my brain is wired differently than a fluent brain. I was able to train my brain to use easy and continuous airflow whic...

Yeah, I totally get this. Calling it a “disability” sometimes feels like it undermines people with more severe conditions. But at the same time, all the mental stress and struggles I went through grow...

It’s a good question, and one I often struggle with. Stuttering has changed my life and set me down a completely different path. With that said, I am well into my career as a senior creative director,...
