I tend to use "uh" or "like" before certain words that I know cause me to block. I wouldn't recommend it at all however because like others have mentioned it just adds to the problem in the long run. ...

I'm a 25-year old female medical student with a stutter. Is there any stuttering doctor who can give me some advice?

I'm a 25-year old female medical student with a stutter. Is there any stuttering doctor who can give me some advice? Hi there! I'm a medical student from Germany. Right now I'm in my 5th year of studi...

I used to use word substitutions and whispering (lots and lots of whispering). Now I don't. But when I get those moments of how I used to talk (fluent but with tricks) I still feel like I'm somehow de...

Maybe I misunderstand. When you say you were tricking them, were you using tricks to sound fluent, such as word substitution or inane ramblings until you could fluently say the word? If that's the cas...

Feeling guilty for brief moments of fluency?!

Feeling guilty for brief moments of fluency?! Last night my wife needed to get a car wash, and since I was going to be out, I figured I'd get us Carl's Jr. for dinner. This immediately started an inte...

I can acknowledge that I probably communicate a sense of frustration at times when I'm struggling to get my words out. So yes, when family or whomever else will avoid starting a conversation, although...

The slps who focus on fluency are almost setting you up for failure. They usually teach fluency shaping techniques or some similar techniques for "controlling" how you speak so it's never natural or s...

My best advice is just to put yourself in seemingly awful situations and trying to focus on your trouble words or letters. I used to not be able to start sentences with H's or S's but through repetiti...

I'm one of those people who feel okay with people finishing my sentences. But the thing i hate is when they finish my sentence wrong..,...

ya'ni.. its an arabic word which means 'I mean that', Im not sure how I got to use that alot because arabic isnt even my most fluent language even though its supposed to be my mother tongue... it's em...

Im glad you recognize that though this "trick" may help you get out of a tough spot, it's not good and is only reinforcing a poor speaking behavior. I dont know where you are at with your stutter but ...

almost. you should just stutter through the word but modification is better than most other alternatives....

I got rid of all my secondary stuttering behaviours so nothing anymore. I just cancel the word and try again or try to slowly release the block....

I wish I could find my go to word, so far I either switch the word for something similar or just a put on a thinking face and say ummmmmm... till I feel I can get the word out of my mouth. I look like...

I don't have a go-to word. "Tricks" like that tend to become part of the stutter. You could actually say that in your own case already - inserting "fucking" all over the place is hardly your intention...

What is your go to word to get you out of a block?

What is your go to word to get you out of a block? Like for example you're mid way through a sentence and you get stuck on a word, do any of you put a new word in front of the word you're stuck on, so...

Stuttering and Dating

Stuttering and Dating Stuttering and Dating are one of the hardest things I have dealt with. I am now 31 years old and have yet to find a longterm girlfriend. I have gone out and dated pretty girls in...

Different role made sense for me - I didn't stutter when I spoke English because when I spoke it I was something different.Then when I moved to USA for a year as an exchange student I started to stutt...

I heard that's pretty common. In fact, even those people who work on their speech and improve it still have to work on it in their other language because it doesn't seem to transfer over 1:1...
