I started a new program and i think you should look into that to First, a little about my self: I stutter from the day I was born; i know what it feel like but i still fight for my self, have many fr...

I focus on speaking fluently. If I do begin to stutter, I don't panic, and I don't I push thru the block. I breathe and reset, and try again. I may have to use a different word a speech technique like...

I feel the same way. The first trick is so good, but can you explain the second trick more? I already know when we sing, we do not stutter...

My speech therapist taught me many tricks to control it. I learned all this when I was 7-8 years old so I’ve long forgotten what the strategies are called, just how to use them (they’re really like se...

Slowing down. I’ve found that when I’m trying to force myself to speak a certain way or at a certain pace, I loose track of all the skills I’ve picked up. Sometimes it’s literally telling myself, “you...

I like skipping the first sound at the beginning of a word—probably a consonant and going to the vowel. Hadn’t heard of that one...

Taking a deep diaphragmatic breath before speaking, like when answering the phone. Trying to slow my speech down. Easing into the first sound of the sentence I'm saying by prolonging the first sound...

If I’m talking to someone who doesn’t know I stutter, when I start to block or think I’m gonna word switch, I’ll tell them that I stutter and they have to bear with me for a moment. I’ll confess some...

Not sure why you got a downvote. I agree. I find within a therapy setting they are easy to deploy. Outside of that with pressures and distractions it is quite challenging....

First of all, remember you're not inferior. I know we all feel like it a lot of times, but you got to keep on reminding yourself that your not. That's why I think you're on the right path. You're p...

When I was in my mid 20's, all the therapy I had gone to for so many years all started to click in. I was in college and joined the fencing club and had a lot of oppurtunities to practice. I mainl...

No no my bad I meant you need to Stop talking then breathe and Slowly Exhale& start talking at the same time I accidentally typed inhale instead of Exhale...

We have several speaking techniques in the programme but the one I focused on is what we call the deep & breathy tone. Which means speaking with a deeper voice and adding breathiness to take of the st...

Thanks. I’ll definitely remember to stop and breath before forcing a word out. An awkward pause for me is better than fighting through a stammer. I genuinely admire your optimism about people understa...
