Any techniques for getting over habits caused from stuttering? I used to tap my foot or hands or something to keep time while I talked to make it more musical. Now for some reason I’ve developed a condition where I squint my right eye when I push through some words. I’d honestly rather develop something less noticeable again, especially since I’m a sales person lol. I’ve been trying to fix this issue without creating a new one to hopefully stop the cycle. I’ve been talking alone with my left eye closed and my right eye open. Honestly it feels great and natural and I talk better, but when I’m with people I go back to old habits
