Ways I get around my stutter I have a decently bad stutter, H,M,F,Z,T,I are the letters i stutter on. The main way I get around it is by avoiding the word I know i’m going to stutter on. Instead of saying hand ( one of my worst words ) i will say upper wrist and use hand motions to keep the conversation going. What are effective ways you guys have found? I’ve tried speech therapy and it does not really help because I get used to talking to that person and I no longer stutter. It is partly anxiety also i think
