Building Self-Compassion: A 2-Week Course for People Who Stammer

Stammering can trigger a harsh inner critic every time your words catch. Our free, self-directed online course teaches simple self-compassion techniques so you can treat yourself kindly and build confidence when speaking.

What You’ll Do

• Daily videos (10–15 minutes): Short exercises each day covering mindfulness, guided reflection and quick journaling prompts.
• Three surveys: Brief questionnaires on day 1, day 14 and two weeks later to track changes in self-criticism, self-esteem and social anxiety.
• Feedback form: Share your thoughts at the end to help shape future support for people who stammer.

Why Take Part?

Practising self-compassion can reduce stress, boost resilience and improve well-being. For example, if you catch yourself thinking “I’ve messed up again,” you’ll learn to notice that thought, remind yourself it’s normal and offer a kinder response—“Everyone stumbles; I’ll give it another go.”

Who Can Join

• Aged 18 or over
• Identify as someone who stammers (we use “stammer” and “stutter” interchangeably)
