Great question! Short answer is, no. Longer answer is, stutterers are told to “take a breath” by well meaning and *uninformed* people. Sadly, many of those are SLP’s who likely received nearly zero...
How can i get rid of my anxiety. Whenever my mother sends me to buy something from the supermarket , i start to pre plan sentences and i feel tension in my jaw and i start to feel discomfort in my mou...
It is definitely something that could help even people who don't suffer from stuttering problems in some situations of stress and agitation, but not so much as a go to as it is to us. It's really pow...
I still don't know how to fix my stuttering, but I don't surrender. Now I'm trying herbal medicine. I would like to try PTSD treatments too (since I think trauma is involved). I try to push myself out...
Subconscious is a tricky thing. It’s different from your rational mind and contributes to how you automatically react to certain situations. You cannot lie to your rational mind. but your subconscious...
The notions are a bit vaguely interconnected and the scheme ends up too broad. I studied the link with Parkinson's years ago. I didn't find much pragmatic utility, except for people who stutter being...
My SLP explained that stuttering, especially bad blocks can trigger our flight, fight or freeze response. Our conscious thought processes take a back seat while our body tries to react to what it perc...
What I personally expect is more people specifically young people to shut they're mouths & treat stuttering like any other disability. Even tho when in school I did see some kids making fun of kids in...
Same. Im starting to feel like my brain is taking damage from stuttering. I feel retarded, sometimes when I speak, my brain shuts down and I use wrong words. I block so hard so I cant breath. My fear ...
Who's the right people get help from?..I've been to countless speech therapists & it never helped me because my stutter is neurological or maybe trauma based and it has created a seemingly unbreakable...
"*Stuttering could be referred to as a voluntary response that acts to relieve stuttering anticipation.*" I've always noticed many similarities between OCD **compulsion** and stuttering. Compulsions ...
I agree with everything you've mentioned. You described the experience of losing fluency as soul-crushing.. from my personal perspective, effective therapy should include a solid relapse prevention pr...
Is stuttering mainly a disorder of miscalculating "action values"? (based on past experiences) Does our subconscious calculate the moment to moment based on environmental/psychological changes we perceive as a threat? Research: "Stuttering is primarily a reward-punishment mechanism"

I believe that the concept of an inhibitory or threshold mechanism in stuttering dates back to the early studies. This idea can be viewed through the lens of Sheehan’s “approach-avoidance conflict” th...
Great question. [Evan Usler's](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1e67dco/comment/ldumga5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) research prov...
Yes indeed, I very much enjoyed reading Usler's (PhD) research: "*Why Stuttering Occurs: The Role of Cognitive Conflict and Control*" (2022). I [summarized ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/...
If a defense mechanism is a response to stress or perceived threat, then anything could set that off depending on the person. Fear of a type of person, fear of being misunderstood, doubt, distraction,...
Anxiety could play a role, or you're just nervous, I'm the same but once I get to know them it gets better...
Brain fog with blocks
Brain fog with blocks It's probably my body's response to protect myself from stuttering but whenever I try to say a word that I block on to other people, I get brain fog preventing me to physically s...
