Those are known as secondary behaviors. At some point, you contorted your face just a bit and got a feeling of relief from the struggle and that was enough to reinforce it so it got repeated and incre...

I used to have a secondary movement where Id touch my face. I still do it from time to time but like all aspects of my stutter it's anxiety related. The less anxious I am. The less I do it. My only a...

If I’m alone and on the phone I write the letter with my hand in the air. If I’m with people I stop, use my hand to do movements until I feel I can get the letter out. It feels as if I help the block...

I hate that feeling I get when I feel like I’m choking on my own words and it gets hard to breathe. At one point it was like I forgot how to take a breath mid-sentence and I would try to get everythin...

Help with my 10yr old son’s worsening stutter

Help with my 10yr old son’s worsening stutter My son has stuttered since he was around 3-4 years old. It’s a part of who he is. Nobody really acknowledges it bc we don’t want him to feel bad about it....

I get these sort of headaches when stuttering too. I noticed that when I'm stuck on a word I will sort of stop breathing and just try to get the word out. It's a bad practice and I'm working on it, bu...

If you are 'new' trying to speak fluency it's possibly tensing of face. If you thought about fluency a lot, then it's not, then it's definitely 100% psychologal because you hate stuttering and not al...

I don't get headaches but i do get chest pains cuz i exert so much force when i try to not stutter. My guess is too much physical effort as well of the mental side of course...
