I started stuttering the most in front of my mom and she would get so upset and make it worse. I started with repetition and then prolonging and when she would get mad at me for stuttering or ask “why...

I find myself having to say “a” before I say certain s words lol. I say it super quick and low if it doesn’t fit into what I’m actually trying to say. It’s almost like it loosens the tension in my che...

The stuttering during the fight enrage me even further that I literally force the words out....

Stuttering during pregnancy

Stuttering during pregnancy I know someone else has posted this a year ago but I’m not longer able to comment to the feed. I was curious if any women who found their stutter was MUCH worse during preg...

"Odd feeling" is definitely the right way to describe it! At this point, I just draw my 8 with two circles. I'm tired......

Wait wtf, I’m actually surprised. Idk anyone else had this issue. I can’t write my m’s in a fluid motion it just comes out like weird looking n or an m with three bumps instead of two. I also can’t wr...

I click my tongue when I stutter. Idk why it’s like a learned trait or something...

Those movements are called secondaries. They're not part of the stutter, they're leftover tricks that used to work as a distraction but become part of the pattern and stick around long after they stop...

Yeah I had all kinds of movements when I couldn’t get a word out. Slapping my leg with my hand, movements of my fingers, even a kind of stomping a couple times lol. Im sure it seemed weird to other pe...

I also struggle with the 8. It’s an odd feeling and I get the stuttering feeling when writing the s or 8. Not sure if there’s a link to stuttering but it’s odd when my hand just won’t cooperate and I ...

Its completely unconscious, when I was younger I would tense my neck really tight and it would make my head go back and forth. It was just me trying my best to get the word out. As Ive got older, I ha...

I understand that he’s trying to make the connection I’m just saying from my personal experience with stuttering that I have no idea what OP is talking about because I have never experienced that as a...

We all have a certain rhythm when we write. Some people write fast, others slowly. (Just like with speech) But sometimes I also get stuck when it comes to writting specific letters or numbers. For me,...

as far as i'm concerned and have been told in speech therapy these movements develop over time and are used in an attempt to get the word out. i've heard that it's not really effective though. so not ...

Ye, I stuttered real bad but the teacher was really nice about it thankfully. When I say the words in my head it’s so easy but then when I pronounce and speak them it’s just a mess lol...

Absolutely, I have noticed many visual 'ticks' in myself which I believe are linked to my stammer. I sometimes create a visual rhythm with my hands or head to help with my flow when I am having diffic...

I bounce or snap my wrist when I hit a really bad block. Or I'll tilt my head (with my neck painfully tight) when I'm stuck on a single sound. They normally help me move past the part that im strugg...

Hi, I'm an SLP and I treat Fluency Disorders. If you have secondary behaviors, try to breath and think about what you want to say. If you stutter, stop, breath and start over. This strategy will give...

I also do that! It’s completely normal, it doesn’t have to do with anxiety (or at least I hope it doesn’t)....

Years ago, I used to jump up and down in my office trying to get words out when I was on the phone (it was okay because the person on the other side of the phone couldn’t see me)....
