Even i used to stutter when talking in conference calls in these quarantine times. I used to struggle so bad i would hit myself and do crazy ass hand movements to get the word out thank god we didn't have our webcams on for the meeting or i will look like im possessed. But the past week ive been working with 2 great people i met here on this sub reddit and been having phone calls with them. and in a matter of a week or so i went from being possessed and struggling super hard trying to say the words i want to say to actually managing to speak smoothly for the most part. Yes i do still stutter but its not a "hard stutter" where you feel like you might explode trying to speak the word, instead its a nice easy soft stutter that isent painful and i can get through easily. One thing that helped is just fully owning my stutter, yes i do have a stutter so fking what, if the office people have a problem with it its honestly their problem not mine. Another thing i did was really work on my breathing, when i do get a block i do a coastal breathing technique and relax and continue speaking. The amount of improvement i have seen in just this week is honestly astonishing if you see how i was mentally and speech wise a week ago. Part of my success has to do with me believing in myself and not letting this talking problem define who i am. And believing i can improve it
