For me, I think controlling anxiety and slowing my speech down was really key. You have really done a great job in dealing with your stutter! Reading out loud in front of others has always been a tremendous fear of mine and usually causes me great difficulty. That’s because I controlled my stuttering by using word blocks (find a similar word with the same meaning that is easier to say). When reading from written material, I could never do that. I will also rearrange my sentences so the hard word is somewhere else in the sentence. Then I can usually get it out. I am going to try to read out loud each day and see how I do. The only thing is, I usually don’t stutter when I’m by myself? Maybe I could practice on my spouse or a trusted friend who would both accept me no matter how much I stuttered. I’m going to try it. The other thing that usually works for me is to do something else with my body while speaking or reading. It doesn’t have to be obvious. It could be as simple as pushing my feet together as hard as possible, tightening a muscle group like thighs, calves or buttocks, or even squeezing fingers together. It seems as if I could override my brain to focus on my body instead of my speech, I could get the words out. But I still think controlling the anxiety is key. Thanks for your thoughtful and helpful post!
