I think people who stutter are like extra prone to ticking or developing secondary behaviors. The worst is I don't know some of them until someone points them out. But the secret to getting rid of them is (this works most of the time not 100%) 1. Find out what they are- record yourself or use a mirror, or just ask people. 2. Do the opposite of what the tick is. If you jerk your head to the right, start trying to jerk it to the left etc. The trick is to catch it as early as possible. Some ticks I have gotten rid of to have a "clean stutter" \- closing both eyes -Keeping them open on purpose and maintaining eye contact no matter what- still do it but I open my eyes immediately. \- closing one eye-this one sucks and still happens in a bad stuttering moment. I got rid of it by doing something else- jutting my chin instead. \- jutting my chin- I rub my imaginary beard ( am a girl)to keep from jutting it. \- head jerking- Christ, this actually hurts sometimes but its actually the easiest to control for me. \- nose flaring- impossible to fix so far and the most persistent of my secondaries. \- Jaw wobbles- got rid of this by stroking my imaginary beard instead. Jaw wobbles are the absolute worst. I used to want to cry.
