Bhupinder's Vlog: Why we feel uncomfortable when we stammer

Bhupinder Purewal's latest vlog about getting past negative feelings.

30th March 2022

In this episode, Bhupinder talks about the times when she feels awkward when stammering, and gives her tips on how to get past this feeling. Note: one of the things she says has helped her is to always tell the other person that she stammers - we acknowledge that this can be hard to do, so don't beat yourself up if you find this uncomfortable.

Bhupinder has set up a Facebook page The Stammering Life and a YouTube channel if you'd like to connect. Follow her channel on Instagram using @thestammeringlife.

In his first vlog for STAMMA, Tim Shanks talks about his history of avoiding stammering.

21st September 2023

In his video above, Tim reveals the lengths he goes to to avoid stammering and describes how this makes him feel. He also talks about how hard it is to stop trying to hide it from others. 

Tim mentions Joseph Sheehan at one point in the video. Sheehan was a speech & language therapist, whose main message was: "Don’t avoid, don't hide, don't deny your stuttering. The only way you'll ever get over your fear of stuttering and thus become genuinely fluent; is to meet it head-on. Always do the thing you fear, and gradually you will learn not to fear it."
