It has made me a more observant person, by listening more (and speaking less), and a more empathetic person. But mostly it has (at times) made me proud of myself for how far I've come. Ten years ago I...

Honestly, if I was in that situation, I would have punched that fucker in the jaw. This is unacceptable workplace bullying and harassment. Same sort of thing happened to me at work once, all be it j...

I worked at home depot for five years. At one point, during maybe year 2 this older guy in his late forties started making fun of my stutter. This hadn't happened since at least middle school, at lea...

I talked less than I could have in school, so I didn't develop the small-talk social skills, soooo I've avoided parties and meeting huge groups of new people alwaaaaays. Actually that's served more to...

I'm gonna be a sarcastic dick for a second, but it's pretty easy to say not to let your stutter control you when it's mild enough you can go through an entire interview and only block a few times....

I had a moderate stutter when I went to HCRI. I couldn't hide it. The founder/CEO or whatever is kind of scammy/unscientific. The therapists are great though, and you will be fluent when you leave if...

Pretty much this. I'm an SLP specializing in stuttering and I pretty consistently see clients who have been through HCRI in the past, yet still decide they want more therapy a few/many years later. S...

I lead the City of Chicago group. We have anywhere from 6-14 people at each meeting (still fairly new, only since summer 2013). We are like the Portland group described, just facilitate some starter q...

I've been job hunting for the past 6 months, today my friend gave me a number to a company who's hiring and I'm too scared to call. I feel like such a coward. I know that I'm going to stutter and have...

I work in a video store for almost 5 years, it helped me a lot. First you are more confident, because they want something from you, not the other way around. Second, you have to talk a lot. Talking mu...

I have a stutter and I'm also a journalist so using phones are obviously very important. I have a rehearsed speech that I always practice before and 99/100 I get to say it with clarity, obviously som...
