Free from stutter
Freedom from stuttering is when stuttering is not holding you back in your life.
It's freedom from the negative consequences and limitations that stuttering might bring, such as fears, anxiety, and avoidance behaviours. Freedom is doing in life what you believe is right, saying what you want to say, and not letting fear of speaking hold you back from being who you want to be.
Can this freedom be a reality for you? Absolutely!

Free from stutter
There were a couple of posts in the Free From Stutter Facebook group recently that got me thinking.
The first one was about spontaneous stuttering.
It’s not an entirely new concept—I talk about it as “open stuttering” in this video about 17 stuttering techniques:
https://youtu.be/B7cK7tOUacw?si=-gRnI...
Still, the term “spontaneous stuttering” was new to me.
The other post was about a nutritional supplement that, for one person, took his stuttering away completely.
Which post do you think got more traction and reaction? What’s your guess?
Of course—the second one.
Even though I always say there’s no magic medication, supplement, app, or device that can take stuttering away for the long term:
www.freefromstutter.com/blog/devices-apps-and-medi…
I usually remove comments like that from my YouTube channel as spam. 🙂
The question about those two posts is—why?
Why, when I search for “spontaneous stuttering” on YouTube, I find just one video with 179 views… while right next to it are tons of videos titled “how to fix stuttering” or “how to stop stuttering,” each with hundreds of thousands of views?
The answer goes deep—into the invisible part of stuttering. The invisible 90% of stuttering, as I call it.
We don’t feel great in the moment of stuttering. We don’t feel great about the uncertainty—will I stutter or not?
That’s why many of us stay in a shell—navigating life by escaping, avoiding, and hiding.
That’s covert stuttering. It’s not good or bad. It’s just a very understandable place to be for someone who stutters.
And there are two ways out.
Either path brings more consistency and clarity. Either way, we want to feel that stuttering doesn’t hold us back in life. That it doesn’t bother us anymore.
But either way looks like work. 🙂
So, it’s very natural to stay in the shell—wondering about the root causes of stuttering or looking for a magic pill… Just getting ready for that radical first step out.
What about you? Which path are you choosing? Or maybe, like most, you’re still getting ready to take that bold step out? What’s the biggest obstacle you’re facing?
If you're a speech-language pathologist or a parent, what message do you pass on to your clients or children in this regard?
Leave a comment and let me know!
Wishing you a great weekend! Talk to you soon!
Kind regards,

I’ve recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Ahsan Mustafa.
And I noticed there’s a trend.
People who stutter tend to believe that speech therapy is — or should be — about learning the tools.
And quite a lot of speech therapists believe the same way.
As a result, speech therapy and intensive stuttering programs become a place to learn those tools.
That was my experience with speech therapy and learning the hand technique too.
And it is awesome. As they learn the tools, people who stutter create new speaking experiences and see the improvement.
Yet, learning the tools is just the starting point.
If we stop there and expect that IT will keep “working,” stuttering is coming back soon.
Getting free from stuttering is not just about learning the tools. It’s about developing a habit of proactively creating speaking experiences using the tools.
Otherwise, the tools fade away - just like your knowledge of a foreign language that you don’t use.
That’s why I created the Free From Stutter Program — not just to teach the hand technique (which I believe is the best tool), but also to build a system for creating speaking experiences moving forward.
You can still join the program this weekend: www.freefromstutter.com/
Wishing you a great day!
Kind regards,
Andrey

Hey, Christmas and New Year are the perfect time to reflect on the past year and dream or plan for the year ahead.
What are you grateful for this year? What have you learned? What fears have your faced? What experiences or achievements are you most proud of? What dreams or plans do you have for the next one?
Whatever your answers may be, I wish you to be kind and gentle to yourself. The more you support yourself the more you can give back to the world.
You are the one who is responsible for finding meaning and motivation in your life. At the same time, sometimes a bit of help does help. 😊
Jim Rohn once said, 'You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.' So, it’s awesome if you could surround yourself with people you like or admire.
That’s why I’ve put together for you (and for me) a powerful (and almost limitless) source of motivation here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSbp_...
Let me know what inspires and motivates you these days!
I haven’t created much content on YouTube this year, but I’m still proud of:
- providing more clarity about Stuttering Cycle and how it works: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-cycle-how-…
- diving deeper into the 5 Types of People Who Stutter: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/five-types-of-people-…
- and creating my first ever YouTube Short: youtube.com/shorts/cb2yJ6ulLX...
For some, shooting YouTube Shorts might be an easy thing, but it took me a while to figure it out. Again, we want to be kind to ourselves and celebrate even seemingly small wins. 😊
Another thing I’m grateful for is designing my new website and beginning to organize the blog content there:
You can learn more about stuttering: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/stuttering-stammering
You can see how we can deal with stuttering: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/how-to-deal-with-stut…
Maybe you’re ready to explore speaking exercises and stuttering techniques: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/speaking-exercises-fo…
Or maybe you just want to stop stuttering: www.freefromstutter.com/blog/how-to-stop-stutterin…
I also plan to create more helpful content for speech therapists and parents who have children who stutter next year.
And of course, my biggest pride lies in my students who faced their fears and pushed their limits this year.
Wishing you joyful reflections on this year and the most inspiring plans for the year ahead! 🙌❤️🔥
Have an amazing holiday season! And I’ll talk to you soon!
Kind regards,
Andrey
P.S. As I was re-uploading content to my new website, I came across this video about Stuttering & How Real Change Happens where I share how I fell off a sports bar but luckily stayed alive. 👀 If you want to have some fun, I highly recommend it! 😊 www.freefromstutter.com/blog/how-change-happens
