What have you encountered when it comes to the link between anxiety and stuttering E.g. stuttering when anxious/nervous, then increased anxiety due to the stuttering, resulting in a cycle of anxious stuttering. I’m a 19 year old male and I’ve found my speech gets increasingly worse (my stutter gets worse) when I’m stressed out, anxious or in anyway nervous. When I’m relaxed or confident in a situation my stutter can become very minimal and unnoticeable to a lot of people. Do you have any experience or insight into the link between anxiety and stuttering and what have you found to be a solution or what helps most people in this dilemma? Do you have any opinions on this?
