Stuttering is coming back

Stuttering is coming back Hi All. I went to a week long course when I was a kid (12 years old) to assist with stuttering. Here they taught breathing exercises to me and my parents for how to manage s...

>You said: "So if we priotize forward flow of speech over accurate error free speech we may lead to stutter remission." Yes, at least it can lead to fluent speech just like when we do choral speaking...

Yes, I agree, at least for me this is true. After all, my goal is to eventually, one day, hopefully, achieve stuttering remission (and subconscious fluency) - suggesting that I should indeed - as you ...

I would think it's potentially anxiety and stress related even at that age. I stuttered more around family and friends than in school because I talked way more infront of people I knew without the str...

Shit happens!

Shit happens! Went to Chili’s for dinner tonight and when it was my turn to order, I had a very hard block on ‘chicken.’ The waiter actually laughed at me. I was hot, tired and stressed. It happens. W...

Don’t try to hide it. It makes it worse. The pressure of hiding your stuttering will ironically make you more anxious and makes you stutter more....

**Second reply:** This is my attempt to shed some light on the definition: "justification" and "need to reduce factors". I think that negative experiences can increase our defensive mechanism to say...

Great response! This is my attempt to shed some light on the definitions proposed: * **Inhibitory control**: According to my other post [https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/18qxg2h/tips\_to\_im...

For me, if I have limited time, and I control the time, talking to people is easier. Your kid in camp is for a limited time (may be month?), and denvironment there is more relaxed (no communication pr...

Yes. I think it is helpful as long as you stick with it. By doing this you’re releasing the fear and anxiety of speaking that developmental stutterers get as we get older. When you’re little you just ...

Yeah when I was a kid I was relaxed during summertime and stressed during the school year. My stutter is heavily impacted by how stressed or anxious I am so naturally I had a harder time when I was at...

I've had a very similar problem with work, talking on the phone, and introducing myself to new people. I think it's probably triggered by anxiety. If school is miserable for other reasons, it's probab...

Basically, this threshold mechanism (based on distorted beliefs) - allows/prevents the release of speech motor plans. It's a defensive mechanism e.g., if we feel the need to speak more perfect or erro...

Would love to read the paper! And potentially — I mean, I’ve had bad suffering episodes, more acute and random, every now and then which were embarrassing. I started taking Klonopin to alleviate anxie...

Same. I think it gets worse only in very stressful situations. Other time I'm just tired thinking of it. But we can't live again our past life without stuttering and it sucks....

How to enter flow state to stop stuttering bc of anxiety? I vividly remember a presentation I did towards to end of my senior year of hs where I just entered a flow state and spoke perfectly for the e...

gmpros2 My response to article in The Atlantic by John Hendrickson (also a PWS) about President Biden stuttering –  [https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/07/biden-debate-stutter/678888/](...

**Mr Hendricson’ article in “The Atlantic” is indeed interesting. However, I don’t completely agree  with all explanations provided. .**    1. **Author refers  to SC Rep. James Clybern’s  opinion tha...

I get that. I’m actually suspected of selective mutism caused by severe anxiety around stuttering. When I was 13-15 I didn’t talk at all unless I was completely alone, and now I only say responses con...
