I'm quite sensitive to overstimulation but I'm not sure if that's because of my stammer, neurodivergence, or something else. But it does make my stammer worse because I need to be able to concentrate ...

>putting your voice on a delay from one's thoughts can making the stutter worse. Yes, these research studies provide evidence that delaying one's thoughts (or rather, delaying speech initiation) make...

It can definitely hit right in the throat, but far more often before that happens, I can "just tell." My main strategy growing up was putting my mouth on a delay from my thoughts and using that buffe...

Same case here. I found this thread by typing "Why people starts yawning as soon as i start speaking". Some people would probably got mad instantly, but i dont really care. Or maybe my self esteam got...

Thank you for answering. I guess, because the stutter is happening to me, I believe a stutter is the absolute worst thing that can happen and any other alternative (even a "baby voice") is way better....

How can I listen to myself and become more aware of my stammering?

How can I listen to myself and become more aware of my stammering? Hello, I want to become more familiar with my stammering and I want to identify what specifically is causing me so many problems. I...

You're so valid for this. I also relate immensly! It is absolutely frustrating for me when I say something so fluently or with minimal stuttering, and then someone says "what?" or "huh?" or rudely say...

Thank you for sharing. Your name sounds familiar. How did you overcome stuttering? I feel like maybe one of the reasons a lot of us still stutter is because we think about it constantly and give it so...

In my opinion: I perceive that some people who stutter (PWS) attribute the persistence of their stuttering to neurological differences, but is it really fair to lend this argument so much credibility...

Just to clarify: I don’t stutter in the mainstream sense of the word, but I suffer from silent blocks due to psychological trauma. I think that a stutter or a block is caused by a misinterpretation of...

As an extremely arrogant and confident person who stutter, I don't believe there is a true link between them. It does make some difference to a degree but in general confidence and stuttering are two ...

Is this an odd thing to do?

Is this an odd thing to do? Whenever I successfully say a sentence without stuttering or freezing on a word I sometimes catch myself mouthing the phrase back to myself silently. I don't actually know ...

Thank you for your honest response. I agree with you, and I hope more people are willing to sum up recent research studies and extract a few takeaway bullet points from them. PWS mainly use this subre...

This takes me to the post couple of days back here about seeking therapy (not speech therapy), which I agree with. What you have explained is largely true but its not easy for an individual on their...

yeah I was facing this issue to and what’s helping me rn, which won’t work for everyone, is recognizing my instincts(the fast witted thoughts/impulses/survival modes in the brain) and my consciousness...

Toast masters

Toast masters Has anyone tried toastmasters (public speaking club) to build confidence in front of people for interviewing or social situations?...

Feel like it's 1000% mentality, mixed in with a bit of luck. My speech therapist also has a stutter, and she found love and started a family. Also know various others with a stutter who are married. I...

I am far from being happy and cure stuttering but there is little something I can share with you. 1. Do whatever you need to finish a word/sentence. I started making pauses after first letter but nev...

Amazing response! I loved reading it.. and I agree with you. This is my attempt to summarize your text into a vicious circle: 1. trauma \[negative experience\] \[hiding trauma\] \[feeding trauma\] 2...

I would say trauma. Some or many events on the past that had such on impact on us that change our way of looking at the world on a negative basis. It is a learned behaviour that served a purpose when...
