In my experience, if I do a speech block: * I stop executing speech movements * I don't initiate articulation If I tense my throat muscles, even to their maximum extent, this tension alone will neve...

Ya i block so the silent pause feels like it goes on forever...

As for the second button that says "that wasn't the end of sentence", I'm thinking of situations where you happen to block at a very inconvenient timing. An example is when Jimmy in South Park has to ...

Nice words although have you heard that this disability depends from person to person? That's why stutter is categorized by MILD, MODERATE and SEVERE. For some that have mild, i think yeah it's their ...

I think people just don’t know. Especially when it’s less of a repetition and more of something else like a block or other avoidance....

i don’t have blocks but i have selective mutism! it’s really cool to see someone else have a stutter and sm because i think it’s pretty rare (imo). i would love to know your experience !...

Oh i have blocks aswell! For me it’s more apparent with men rather than women. People always told me it stems from trauma but i don’t believe I’ve suffered trauma in my childhood so i don’t know about...

I wish it were that easy. I can barely take phone calls with my dad. Let alone a complete stranger. Also presentations are arguably worse. Once in school i took over 20 minutes over excruciating stutt...

That’s a lovely message and i thank you for that. Unfortunately my stutter can be so bad that i completely lose my voice and the ability to breathe all together. Most phone calls i end up not being ab...

I rarely stutter but I can't pronounce words probably and sometimes said word in my mouth while speaking.. and digestion problem for like 4 years that took a huge toll on my health.. I think I have di...

i'm in my '40s and still this stuttering problem badly affects my life, i stutter severely, and i can't control it. 😞...

OK, I think I finally understand what you're asking. I haven't studied this area, but it sounds like you want a similar approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which seeks not to suppress intrusive ...

Questions 1 and 2: you're right, this a central challenge for theories of stuttering, including this one, based around auditory processing. Another example often raised is, why would we block at the b...

During a speech block of 60-seconds - there is no sound (aka auditory feedback), and therefore there is no need for auditory processing (reinforcing overreliance on auditory information could even do ...

After graduation ive been at home for a few months now and my stuttering has gotten so bad that im incredibly scared of going back to social situations. I have blocks so its really hard to get the wor...

If anyone has a blockage and has tried this let me know on this thread....

i don’t think i’ve ever experienced a block before but more so repeating the same vowel and consonant over again (so repetition, idk ab prolongations). for me, it really depends because one moment i’l...

thats very interesting. Ive met late onset stutterers (which is uncommon), but none with selective mutism as well. If you dont mind sharing, do you stutter all the time now, or is it more situationa...

Lack of sleep and stress definitely makes a bad stutter day, but some days different vowels or consonants are harder than others. I always have a hard time with A, L, O, Th, S, and W, but some days it...

nope that isn’t even the tip of the ice berg unfortunately but i honestly don’t expect a lot of people to answer simply because it probably IS rare to have both but idk...
