What can I do to better my stutter? Hello, I'm 15M and have stuttered since I was like 11 due to some trauma so I began to take breaks between my words and now I have speech blocks. At least that's the only advice my old speech therapist gave but nothing else she did helped. Mine are the worst on the K and the P those are the one's who always come back. Sometime's when I'm alone in my room I stutter but then other times I don't, it's just on and off but In public I always stutter on these. I have a lot of anxiety but I've been trying to keep calm and at least at home I try to speak my thoughts even with stutter. It does help a little bit because when I'm really exited or angry I don't stutter at all but those are only moments. Please give me advice I need it desperately.
