Tim Mackesey’s podcast. Check out just website to get an idea of who he is, then start listening from beginning (not his YouTube). I used to have hundreds of blocks/day, and after a month of doing the work, it dropped significantly. It’s been over a year, and I’m not impacted by blocks or the need to avoid anymore. My speech is smooth, easy to understand, and interesting - and I get to say precisely what I want and when I want. https://www.stuttering-specialist.com/about-us When getting and advice from Reddit, always ask how it has helped them. The following responses are indicators that the advice is *not* effective : been trying it for a few years and it helps a little, been trying it for a for a week and got cured!, there are odd “side effects”, *chooses to avoid your question*, or they can *only* cite other redditors as their source. Examples of things w “odd side effect” : 1. pretend the person you are talking to isn’t there. (If your help makes communicating with other people harder, it’s not helping. ) 2. Taking a deep breath to move past a block - actually tends to *worsen* blocks for many. (Try talking on an exhale instead.)
