Stuttering block revelation Hey all, I'm a 27 year old female with a minor stutter that takes the form of blocks and repetition. I have stuttered ever since I was a child and have better days than others. I've been meditating lately because I feel like my stutter is very much linked to anxiety. However, I've noticed something that I'm surprised I've never noticed before. When I am about to block, I sometimes get the word out better by thinking that I might be interrupted. Or when I am sometimes interrupted (sometimes unintentionally because the other speaker thinks I'm finished), I am able to speak the word fine. It's like my brain performs better when I'm speaking over others. Does anyone experience this?
