I'm a doctor with stammering fr the past 26 years..but surprisingly, I slowly started to overcome the issue (( currently 28 )) & in the same time, I started talking to myself..as if I'm a professor giving a lecture..& that helped me somehow overcome it...I transformed myself from a guy who is afraid to talk on phone into someone who can teach medical lessons to peers & juniors....1st things 1st...psychologically u have to accept urself first bcus change starts within u
.
Then it gets reflected in the society..

When the thirst to speak is greater than the fear of speaking. Don't run away from the fear, make it your friend. Amazing.

I’m 16 and I’ve stuttered all my life. After what you said I was crying because you described what I have been meaning to tell myself all my life. When I was in middle and high school I stuttered every day. It was like starring death in the eye every day. Now I’ve made him my friend. Now I have nothing left to fear in my life. At the age of 16 that’s amazing to me. And if someone is reading this you are probably shying away from a thing that you fear in your life. You don’t know how to tackle it. It’s okay you don’t have to know but if you really want to tackle it you will find a way.

what he says is very true: "if you speak less and listen more you will have better conversation". I am the guy who listens and is empathetic. The problem is that I am not listened to. It is just one direction. So my interlocutors pour out their personal life but do not want to know what my own life is. It is even harder nowdays when people want everything done quickly, here and now, and do not take the time to understand or even listen. Tough days for stutterers.

"A stuttering is speaking at TEDX =, so magic happens." So true.

[sanj]

dealing with the problem myself I truly appreciate this person

[patrickd]

I also stammer and have become a trainer. I am not so self conscious of it now as being in front of people delivering two day courses at a time has made me deal with it. I realise it is part of me and who I am today. We don’t live in a perfect world and none of us are perfect. I have learnt to stop wrestling with my stammer and just accept it as part of who i am. If people don’t feel comfortable around me, they’re are plenty of other people who do. As time has gone on, my stammer has improved enormously and from my experience I think it is because I have stopped wrestling with it.

I can really identify what the speaker is saying and it is so refreshing to hear him speaking so honestly and from his heart. Thank you for post this my friend. 🇬🇧🇮🇪

What has helped me tons is reading the book How To Run Your Own Life by Jut Meininger (as long as I apply it I eliminate it completely) (when you read it you'll realize that you have to turn off your Adapted Child state and little by little train your Parent state so your Adapted child doesn't intervene)... you can download it (they don't print it anymore)

[shashankjha]

Amazing, me too suffer this problem. Sometimes the entire world seems gloomy. But you showed me a ray of hope. Thanks a lot.

[harshalpolshettiwar]
