Guide and Tips to Overcome Stuttering Hi! I don't know if you all have heard of William D Parry. But he released a wonderful book called "Understanding and Controlling Stuttering A Comprehensive New Approach Based on the Valsalva Hypothesis". I relate to every single word in this book. It's extremely detailed, and if you have a stutter or "block" on words I highly recommend. William also had a stutter, and overcame it. Anyway, I made a guide of all of the main points in the book, as well as weekly structures and practices you can do. To get a better understanding of this, I would read the book. However, just this guide alone can be very helpful. There is hope, I have a stutter and It scares me so much. But if we are capable of being fluent when we are alone, speaking to the mirror, an animal, etc.., then we are capable of speaking like that all of the time. You won't know the outcome unless you give it your all, do it scared, do it anxious, do It shaking.
