Best way to help my stutter? I have a problem when I am talking, I loose my breath and it sounds like I have the hiccups. Someone told me online it could be dysrythmic phonation and I think it could be. My speech problems are caused by anxiety especially socially. I have tried using techniques to help my stutter but that is stressing me out because it feels like I am spending lots of time focussing on trying to help my speech. For example I have tried to slow down when I’m talking, to take more breaths when I’m talking & before I start talking, speaking louder. My brain is so occupied with trying to help my speech and discussing what to do it’s making me exhausted. What is the best thing to do? I can’t see a speech therapist yet but I have started a new job my speech is worst and I’m more anxious. I want to help my speech but don’t want to get into a habit of thinking about it all the time it stresses me out and it has happened before when I was concentrating to much on how my speech comes out & have lost track of a conversation.
