A solution for stuttering BLOCK I reduced my stuttering by 90% after discovering this simple truth: Don’t try to pronounce a consonant by just “opening” — it doesn’t work that way. Many consonants (like /m/, /b/, /k/, /l/, /ʔ/ glottal stop) require: Closure → Pressure → Release Not just opening your lips, throat, or mouth directly. If you skip the closure and try to “start from opening,” your speech system can freeze — that’s what was causing my blocks. Once I focused on making the proper closure first, then building slight pressure, and then releasing the sound, I stopped blocking. I went from blocking in 30% of my speech to less than 5%. ⸻ Stuttering? Especially blocking? Maybe you’re trying to start sounds from opening only. Most consonants need closure first. Fix that, and your fluency might change dramatically. #stuttering #block
