"The brain basically has two main systems... one is inward directed and one is outward directed."    - Dr. Per Alm

Additional Quotes

“You don't have to pretend this isn't happening. This is happening. We're having this exchange. You're standing in front of me. I'm about to ask you a question.  I'm going to try and you're gonna see me struggling.   I'm going to get it out.  And you're going to answer it. It's all good.” - Josh Mohrer

 

“We all thrive on feedback. We need to create safe cultures and spaces. If we have enough positive feedback, we can create a safe space for hard feedback too. It can be very well received and very productive. The most unproductive is when no one can say what they really need to say, which is a sort of stuttering. Whether you stutter or not, it is the feeling that you can't say what needs to be said.” - Uri Schneider

Robert O’Brien started stuttering at 8 and struggled with his speech into his adult years, discovering speech therapy, Toastmasters, and eventually acting school in Vancouver BC. At the same time, he was dealing with being gay and hiding his sexuality until finally coming out at 32. His focus throughout was to “fix” himself. After a failed suicide attempt, he was inspired to write a memoir called Just One More Drive: The true story of a stuttering homosexual and his race car to help others deal with issues around mental health and acceptance. His book is on sale globally and he has given various workshops sharing his experiences. He currently resides in Vancouver, BC working as a teacher and co-instructor for “The Unblockables”, an improv acting course for people who stutter with Tightrope Theatre. Other written works include The MINI: A Strategic Relaunch of a Dormant Brand (Lambert Academic Publishing, 2016).

Joseph is finishing medical school this year at Columbia University in New York City and plans to begin a combined residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. He hopes to work in global health for people of all ages and in under-resourced settings, and especially with adolescents and invisible struggles. Joseph’s experiences in healthcare and psychology include the Yale Child Study Center, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research (Australia), the Public Health Foundation of India, and Kijabe Hospital (Nairobi). He is an avid pianist-keyboardist and has found joy in leading and learning from such diverse music groups as the Broadway Haven Players and the Yale Gospel Choir. Joseph has had a stutter since the age of six, and his experience of stuttering has deepened his own development and identity in profound ways. Joseph hopes this audio format provides some personal insights and a feeling of solidarity with others whose stutters have impacted their own lives in unique and perhaps similar ways.
