Hello, I came from the SBSK video and that video was so inspiring to so many people who have a stuttering problem and for me as well. Thank you for talking about this topic that nobody really talks about. Stuttering is so difficult for us who have it and it’s so hard for others to comprehend which makes it so hard to communicate with others. I’m so happy I can relate to you and the others in the comments section! ❤ Just subscribed to your KZitem

I have stuttered all of my life, and am now 71. Over the years I have read a great deal about stuttering. I would say the following: (1) If a person begins stuttering in early childhood (approximately age 4) and still does by age 10, it is very likely that he will continue to stutter to some degree for the rest of his life. Its severity can be reduced in most cases, however. (2) In many cases, stuttering and the related experiences cause the person to have negative perceptions about himself that are a greater problem than the stuttering is. Those perceptions may be feelings of low self-confidence, low self-esteem, etc. The fear of stuttering also creates anxiety. Dealing with this is just as important, if not more-so, than the stuttering itself. (3) Not all “stuttering therapies” are the same. I recommend one that does not focus on the stuttering, but the person who stutters. That is, the whole person.

Hallo , ich bin Logopädin und habe gerade eine Fortbildung über das Thema Stottern gemacht. Ich finde es absolut großartig, wie du mit dem Thema Stottern ( deinem Stottern ) umgehst. Das Stottern zu vermeiden macht es nur noch schlimmer !! Ich therapiere nach der Methode " Stuttering Managment ", was deiner Idee sehr nahe kommt . Ich gratuliere dir zu deinem Mut,dich hier auf diesem Kanal zu äußern und bin mir sicher , dass dein Beitrag absolut inspirierend für andere stotternde Menschen ist. HUT AB

The place you are filming is beautiful! I agree with you're mindset on stuttering. I spent about 20 years trying to correct or be cured from my stuttering. The stories I could tell haha! But with my last attempt at speech therapy in my late 20's I realized that I had to turn around and face my stutter as being a part of me and not something to get rid of. I'm actually still on that journey now. It's pretty hard but worth it I think. Thank you for your videos!

I used to stutter when I was very little and only a small amount. It was noticed during elementary school and I went to a speech therapist for like 30 minutes once a week for some time, not sure how long but it only must have been months. Today I don't stutter but I do have a, I don't wanna say problem, but let's say characteristic where I often do these longs sentences and forget where how I started but still somehow manage to finish them. Sometimes when I'm nervous I repeat words twice or I used one word very often to describe things, like filler words. I still feel nervous when talking to someone I don't know or an authority figure and sometimes stumble over my words. All of this is very funny to me because I speak for a living as a teacher. I just wanna say I like your videos a lot and think you're so cool! Thanks for your insight.

I think you have a very heathly approach to your stutter and OCD. Its hard sometimes to not let your goal of something consume your thoughts, tunnel vision kinda. However, when you have the mindset of "it is what it is" it does bring a sense of happiness. I hope you continue to bless others with your encouragement and experiences.

I agree most of us can’t fix our stutters even with speech therapy but you can minimise it for our own benefit. If you were in a wheelchair you wouldn’t try to go up stairs you would use the lift. There’s nothing wrong with helping our stutters. Speaking on an out breath makes a huge difference, if I’m making a phone call being alone and somewhere noisy makes it easier. Might not work for everyone. The title of your video would depress anyone, imagine being a child or teenager with a stutter listening to this, yes it will probably be a problem for all of your life and give up now. Instead it should be about here’s how to make life easier for us. If I have to make a doctors appointment I get my sister to do it, what’s wrong with that. I use email or text if possible. Not all of us are comfortable with our stutters and using whatever help is available makes sense. I still admire your positive attitude and appreciate your opinion and wish you all the best.

Hmm, I'm sorry you got that message from the video. That's not what I tried to say, I am actually all about helping ourselves with our stutter. But, not in a way that is about trying to be fluent. I think trying to be fluent is unhelpful and harmful, and in this video I'm sharing ways to help ourselves that I think are more positive. The things you are describing sound helpful, but they can also lead to more avoidance and struggle. There are ways to help ourselves that actually reduce struggle. We can learn to stutter in a way that is without struggle! That's the positive message I want to spread :)

@@juststutter I understand the point you’re making and I’m probably guilty of avoidance and what others might call unhelpful behaviours.. It probably depends on how severe our stutters are. You and I have moderate stutters at least as far as I can tell from your interesting videos. Many definitely benefit from speech therapy and while we’re never going to be fluent I would think the goal of most stutters would be to improve our fluency although you don’t agree with that and we should embrace what we are. I certainly respect your opinion and I’m sure many will benefit from what you say. Hope you’re doing okay.

Thank you! I definitely understand what you mean, and I understand people want fluency, but I don't believe people can achieve that by making fluency the goal. I believe it does not work like that, trying to be fluent only creates more tension and struggle. But if people think it helps them, then I am glad they found something that works for them. To add: while our stutters might sound moderate, it does not mean that we struggle less. I know people who struggle a lot more mentally because their stutter is mild, since they can hide it better. Being able to hide it eventually creates more struggle, because you feel like you have to keep it up. Just sharing my thoughts, I appreciate your comments!

Yes, your intuition is correct, the stutter is a byproduct of something else. I completely agree with you on this: trying to speak fluently by putting more control is superficial and a waste of time and actually, the stuttering can increase by focusing on it. I did a terrible job trying to explain myself in my previous comments under your previous video. So, let me rephrase it in your words. The path I was talking about is getting to know that "something else". It is about understanding the root of stuttering. So the goal is not fluency, but the goal is to know thyself. In psychology language, that "something else" is unconscious and it influences you. If it was conscious, you probably wouldn't stutter because why would you do this to yourself right? So by the hard work, I mean exactly this: Making your unconscious processes conscious (also known as Shadow work). That is not easy and as I mentioned previously, it is about meditation mindfulness-like everyday practice. As a byproduct, the stutter may then disappear because you will get to know the root of a stutter, so, aren't you curious about yourself ?

I didn't say the stutter is a byproduct of something else though ;). It's a form of neurodivergence, and it's genetic. I do think that the way I'm stuttering now is because I added a lot of avoidance behaviors, so if I slowly remove those, my authentic stutter will come out, which will probably be less struggled. But I will always stutter :)
@greenpumpkin172

@@juststutter Thats very good that you want to reduce your avoidant behaviors, good luck with that, you need a strong will. Do your parents stutter? If no, how come that you stutter then ? Do you think that stutter is caused by some random genetic mutation ? "I will always stutter" - What if you will stutter for hundreds or thoustands of years in different future lives ? Will you still enjoy it ? Of course you have free will, so do what you think is best for you :).

Hello, I don't have a stutter but your channel have helped me understand somewhat people with stutter feel, I think the way you approach your stutter is the right way, just letting the words out even if it takes a little more time is way better than just trying to "fix" the stutter and being exhausted about it, by the way beautiful background wish we had more icy landscapes here in Colombia but thanks to climate change they are always more rare :(, greetings!
