Help me overcome my stuttering This is the first time I've talked about it in a community, I'm a 23 year old stutterer and I think I started stuttering when I was 8 or 9 years old. And I think that now I stutter more out of fear and stress, it's in my head, I tell myself that I speak badly and my thoughts block my speech, sometimes I sweat when I speak. Every time I speak the first thing that comes to mind is my stutter and I tell myself I'm going to block it. Sometimes I stretch to get my sentence to come out correctly. There, I told myself that I have to work on my stuttering on a daily basis, reading aloud, breathing, etc... but I have no idea how to work on his stuttering. So I come to ask you to help me by giving me exercises that I could do to improve my speech. And sometimes I feel like I'm speaking with multiple voices. I am from France, if you know a speech therapist do not hesitate to recommend him to me. Sorry I wrote in French, maybe there will be a translation problem. Thank you very much for giving me your time.
