[@deannarose7000]

My mom used to tell me, if I'm anxious that I'm going to stutter, I will. Relax and take my time, it's the best advice I've ever gotten. I say the same thing about driving a car, if you feel like you're driving badly you will lol it's all anxiety, it's hard to break but it takes time. Nothing is wrong it just takes practice to relax yourself

It’s so true. Unless you have a stutter you don’t really know the frustration of not being able to finish your sentence. I watched this about 3 months ago (I had a very bad stutter) and after trying this I stutter only occasionally instead of during each sentence. I’m so glad I came across this video because it has really changed my life

[@BohemPlus]

im very happy for you. i still stutter and have done so since i was 9. it really is painful and especially when you look around and see how people just talk freely without any blocks, extensions or repetitions. anyway, im happy you managed to get rid of it :)

[@magsbreaux6772]

@@BohemPlus same. It's plagued me my whole life. Speaking on the phone is the most difficult -- I usually get hung up on before I can eek out, "I sssssssssssspeak with a stttttttttutter, please bbbbbbbbbbeeeee patient." Humans are so cruel. The only time my speech is 100% fluent without any prolongations or blocks is when I'm singing, so this is truly my preferred way of communication.

[@froggiechair_4735]

My brother has stutters. When he gets nervous or has to say a big sentence it gets so bad

[@JG-on2wx]

I have a very mild stutter when I'm nervous, especially when I have to present something in front of other people. I always think about what I want to say next and how I'm going to say it, while I haven't even finished the first sentence. I stumble across words, mix them up, miss them, repeat them, and so on. I think it can't really be considered stuttering, because I experience it not that often, but I'm not sure, really. There's also a reason to why this happens to me, I guess: when I was smaller, I always used to talk a lot, for example when I wanted to tell about something really exciting. But some people that were close to me at that time and who I looked up to interrupted me every time to tell me how boring it was to listen to me, because it took me so long to tell something. But since I didn't want to leave out important aspects, I began to talk faster, so that they wouldn't have to wait too long. :/

[@Axel-ib9ms]

This was great, I have been researching "why do i stutter a lot" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Rincaas Stammify Blocker - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got amazing results with it.

[@jessie92801]

I'm screaming hahahaha

[@Nurse_Hana_]

She stuttered as she began telling her story of how stuttering is affecting her dating life, she stopped stuttering when she was giving praise to Steve, then started stuttering again when she closed her opening question by asking how she can personally get over this. When she internalizes she stutters. She was so sure of Steve but didn't have the same confidence in herself. I hope she builds the confidence she deserves to see how beautiful and significant she is.

[@JayDavante]

"Slow down, breathe, and talk slowly makes things worse" A lot of people tend to tell people this but a person that stutters hears this and trys to apply what they heard and definitely stutters more. It has to be a better way to speak to people that have a stutter without causing them to think more and then stutter some more. To everyone that has a stutter I just was to tell you that I love you and I'm here for you the best way that I can be. I truly don't see anything wrong with anyone that stutters and I just want to tell everyone with a stutter that you are great and special because God made you.. If everyone makes you feel bad or can't accept you for stuttering they don't know or love God. ❤️

Feeling insecure about something is the start of individuals believing that something is wrong with them. First thing is to understand that we all may find things wrong with our selfs but we need to know that nothing is wrong with us and we are all great people. Psychologically we have to believe that the things we won't to cure ourselves from is possible but we just have to believe and try to get better at it day by day.

Stuttering is not something that you can “cure” Steve. I have stuttered all of my life. A stuttering person has to learn the ways to get around it. I CAN NOT say my first name if I was not already involved in conversation when I say it. Steve IS right in that the “speech therapists” I had to go to while in school DID NOT stutter! The safeguards I learned about stuttering were taught to me by a compassionate Air Force Basic Training Instructor. He stuttered, and EVERY other Training Instructor (TI) has his back!

My son is stuttering and he’s about to turn 4 next month. It’s so hard when he’s trying to make small talk and people walk away. They don’t necessarily realize he’s stuck on a word.

I’m not proud to say that I’m the person who is a high sprung multitasker and will often finish or interrupt people when there’s the slightest pause. 🤦🏾‍♀️🥴I’m working on it and practicing meditation and yoga.

This brought back strong emotions for me. I have always had a speech impediment and its brought on by stress. While most times it's manageable, there are times when it's extremely unbearable and I can barely talk. It's not a stutter, it's a nervous vocal tick and it used to be so bad I could barely talk, especially if I'm talking on the phone. People make fun of you and they don't understand just how paralyzing it can be. It just makes me angry when I see someone clapping or making jokes about people with speech impediments because they have never lived with such a disability like this. It gets really bad. To this day, I still struggle with this vocal tick and even my therapist has noticed it.

Steve is telling the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, I use to stutter very bad growing up . However for me breathing exercises helped me, I would take a deep breath let it out and answer.

[@glennsohm6643]

Well he is very correct about the fact that much stuttering is linked to feelings of anxiety. And he is very correct about anticipation being one of the triggers. And, finally, it is an extremely painful, frustrating and demoralizing affliction. I thank God that I was able to completely overcome it.

[@stevengerrard6711]

How did u overcome stuttering if u don't mind

[@Howtonaturally]

He mentioned it was linked to feelings of anxiety, so maybe find out how to over come social anxiety. Books, courses, online etc.

[@glennsohm6643]

One of the things I did was confronted my anxiety by placing myself in an intensive group setting (theater company) where I could make friends and come to the realization that it was ok to trust. Yes, there were those who I did not get along with, but overall it was a great experience. I noticed early on that I could speak without stuttering or stammering when talking with those I trusted, yet I had difficulty talking with strangers. Once I understood that it did not matter whether someone liked me or not, I was able to relax and it all finally went away. The other thing I did was to read passages in books outloud. This trained my vocal and breath muscles. It required some exageration of facial and vocal muscles, but it helped a lot. Muscle memory definitely played into my cure, but most was overcoming my anxiety. I believe that my cure could have been accelerated had I entered some kind of psychological counseling at an early age. Speech therapy was of little value and help with my situation. I know the pain stutterers experience...and so it is painful for me to watch others who are afflicted with this disorder. But...I believe that in most cases it can be overcome.

[@etramulnn785]

I am still stutoring :(

[@mellamobrittney]

@@glennsohm6643 I stuttered as a child, so much to where I was barely intelligible. Because of this I was psychologically and emotionally abused by one of my teachers who would openly mock my stuttering in front of my peers which, in turn, led to me being bullied and ostracized by my classmates. This teacher, horribly enough, also happened to be my speech therapist and ran an after school program at her house for parents who worked late hours. It's like I couldn't get away from her torment and I was too terrified of her to tell my parents. Fortunately for me, I was able to fully overcome stuttering by age 8 or so, and it was through sheer willpower and determination...definitely not because of any "help" on her part. So, I get what you mean by it being hard to watch/listen to others who stutter. In fact, as soon as the girl in the video started stuttering, I had to immediately pause it because it's almost painful to listen to...it just brings back so many awful feelings and memories. Only a former stutterer will know just how debilitating it can feel. I truly hope she's able to overcome it.

She can overcome it. Steve did, I did and countless others that now have people complimenting our speaking voices. I was a HORRIBLE stutterer when I was young, and for me as I developed confidence, the stuttering lessened. Now it is gone completely. I pray she too will tackle it.

[@rex85761]

I also stutter and mine goes up when my stress level increases (maybe during exams). All cases are different, it's not just about confidence.

Forgive me, but did I say it was all about one's level of confidence? I said "for me as I developed confidence....."

[@amstecy8444]

Hi Steve. My name is Ebenezer Gweth from Kenya and am 7 years old. Am using my mum's phone and she let me use her fone to thank you. So today while playing with my friend, they laughed at me when I stuttering, the always do but today I felt very bad. I went home and told my mum and she showed me this video that made me feel better and I cried. From today I will also help other children like me by telling other parents to teach their children not to laugh at others who are stuttering.

Imagine that Steven did more for her in minutes than her therapist did in years. Sometimes its experience and someone who's been there that can help. God bless her such a beautiful soul

[@seerking]

That is so fake. Auras like the new age ppl think of are not at all how they are. Everything has an aura in some respect. It's just a vibration of energy that can be measured scientifically actually. It's not beautiful or not beautiful. It's just science. It's just their. It's a byproduct of the material and aroms and electricity. You cant describe it as calm and beautiful because it's not visible and no they dont have colors and no they dont have feelings to it. You cant taste it, smell it, see it or feel it as calm or wild. You can feel it in the sense of their being an airy mass though. Sorry I just coudlnt keep quiet because that comment is not authentic.

[@KtotheG]

@@seerking Positive energy is beautiful, though. It's peaceful.

[@thee_theoivory]

What I found so powerful is Steve slightly slipped into stuttering a few times. to me that showed the true power of how hard he worked towards correcting his speech. I’m guessing maybe it was triggering for Him but this was so amazing.

[@kryssiewoo51]

It is for real. As a woman who stutters, when I was younger I had to tell myself 3 times what I was gonna say out loud to even direct a taxi cab driver. People don't understand the mental push you have to constantly give urself just to let the words come out how you think it! But I AK telling you it worked, not all the time but most of the time till now...u don't even know unless am mad that I actually stutter.

[@tirnanogconscious-centered9142]

I'm a therapist but I agree with Steve. When therapist haven't experienced certain things all they have to fall back on are theories. Personal experience counts for a lot. That is why my methods are not conventional. You must get to know the person so that you can support them as an individual. Steve is doing such a great job.

[@seerking]

Natalie Wilson everything you learn is neurological, everything you think and do and smell and move, every single function and feeling is neurological. So saying its neurological doesnt really day much. Having thr ability to see and me typing right this second every single movements and press and accuracy and everything is neurological. When your sleeping its neurological. When you wet the bed or pee or poop its neurological. When your afraid or happy or excited or horny. Its neurological l. When you heal after a workout ita neurological, anxiety is neurological. Anyone that dates stuttering is neurological is correct. But it doesn't mean they are neurologically broken. It doesnt mean they have brain damage or nervous system damage at all. Unless you have physical evidence from a doctor that ran scans on your brain that says u have brain damage it's not because of that. But every function will always be neurological. Lol

[@searat2]

Hi I had 3 TBI. Do you think that the neurological pattern of speech is different. Like from people who stutter from anxiety? I heard myself recorded at speech before and the breatheing and pattern of the speech is difffferent. IE the rate and

[@GuillermoJonesJr]

Ah man this one got me. The way the camera switched to Steve after she first begun stuttering and the way he was looking at her. Tears streaming down my face

[@ashankumarasinghe5456]

I used to stutter alot when i was a kid and it went on till I left school! My parents, lecturers, friends and even myself thought it was a disorder. I was afraid to speak and face people. I was happier being silent since i accepted something is wrong with me! But it was all in my head! I realized i was nervous and scared when i was a kid, mainly affected by being bullied in school and also heavily criticized by my parents and lecturers regarding how i performed in schoool. Leaving school, meeting new people and realizing that theres more in life gained confiddnce in me and just like that - the stutter was gone.

[@1grandadventure37]

I have no more stutter."If they don't have enough time to listen to you,they aren't important enough to talk to at all." It is a physical habit of learned responses. Breathe. Think of yourself as brave. Practice is important I did this in front of the mirror too!Lastly, pray!

[@LonjeMarie7]

I sometimes stutter,and what works for me is if I literally stop and restart the sentence then the stuttering completely goes away ,maybe this is the same principle,And I stutter more of course when I’m nervous or anxious

[@reginapeet6648]

That's me too, only when I'm anxious, nervous, or upset.

[@tianamiller6820]

I stutter when i sm nervous or speaking to peoplr im not familiar with or uncomfortable being in the presence of and also sometimes i speak really fast when telling a story which doednt help.

[@Zach-qs2bw]

Having a stutter is like playing Russian roulette but instead of fearing that the next time you pull the trigger the gun will fire the bullet you fear thatthe next time you try and speak you'll stutter and just like everytime you pull the trigger of the gun it doesn't fire every time you speak you don't always stutter

[@tytaylor8762]

When I was younger I had a severe stuttering problem. The elementary school I attended put me in the special needs class and treated it like a disability and kept me separate from the regular classes. I felt ashamed of it. I did work hard to overcome it.

[@milirodriguez8493]

Glad to hear that you didnt let that get to you.I heard a quote from a tv show called Once Upon A Time that said, "people are going to tell you who you are your whole life,but you just have to step back and say 'no,this is who I am' ".Prove youre not just a guy who stutters but much more in you.

[@Z1nny]

So happy for you Ty. I have a brother who used to stutter badly when we were kids. He was told he couldn't have a career that involved a lot of talking. With hardwork and support he overcame. Now he's a senior manager in a fortune 500 company and a college professor. All the best Ty.

[@aimeeolivia2382]

Ty Taylor there is nothing wrong with you . I had hearing loss all of my life . I had been to special education since elementary school and middle school . I went to regular high school and college . My mother said school district didn’t help me that much until I got to high school . My high school , deaf and hard of hearing program helped me so much and dedicated teachers helped me through 4 years . I said to myself I felt a normal person and very smart person . My son is autism and so lucky he can talk . He goes regular classes and few special education classes. I was thankful for that.

[@Keezee121]

Ty Taylor 👏👍👌 I’m glad that you handled it well and stayed strong good job bro

[@Maasai-El]

Ty, many people think stuttering is a mental issue. Its mental but not from a clinical standpoint. The problem with speech therapy is that they focus speech dysfluency and not the cure. In other words you have to begin at the root and not the fruit.
