Content

The huh's and um's happened to me and others regularly when we stuttered because the stutter is really a reaction to not being able to pass a certain point. The uh, um, stutter, trying to force it out and blocking, is all just a reaction to not being able to say it and the body/mind knows beforehand and that's why sometimes you can talk around it saying what ever else, come back and again block.
