I'm what could be termed a 5.5 stutterer . I've stuttered since age 10 and am a criminal defense attorney by profession. I was employed by the public defenders office in sa since graduation and have since ventured into private practice.Since then my speech has detriorated a hellof alot. Reading this article and reflection shows that the stress of setting up a practice as well as unfamiliar courts are the culprits since it is clearly sending the anxiety levels through the roof.

I was covert for many, many years, and have only just now fully embraced who I am, stuttering and all. I am not looking to have my stuttering fixed, so FS and SM are not for me. I am looking to make room for stuttering in my life , and have it peacefully co-exist with all the other complex parts of me. The one thing I do from time to time is volitional stuttering, which seems to help put both me and listeners at ease.

Thank you, Jack. I am a mild stutter (2.3). I have tried a few therapies, but I found out that largely of my problems are not in my speech, but in my psychology. I need to conquer the fear of speaking dysfluently. Sometimes, when I am relaxed, I can speak almost clear, but such comfortable situations do not come very often. So, I think that if I want to win against stuttering I just need to make it my friend. It is not easy, but at the moment I am working a lot on it. I am a student and in my studies I have a lot of presentations, public speeches, etc. Maybe some of you have a some tips, which help you to avoid blocks of stuttering. Sometimes it helps not to avoid stutter, but to increase self-confidence. This is very important. Really interesting article. Thank you, Jack.
