Stuttering in my dreams

Stuttering in my dreams Recently my stutter has gotten so much worse. I’ve been overly focused and in my head trying to predetermine if I can or can’t say certain words before I say them. For me one o...

Trust speech happen on its own

Trust speech happen on its own Who is in charge of speaking: ¿Your conscious mind or your body does it by itself? We stutters interfere with the natural flow and process of the body creating speaking...

So I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have an inexpensive self help book on Amazon called “Beyond Stammering: The Mcguire Program for getting good at the Sport of Speaking.” You ca...

Hey! Nice post! I know stuttering can never be simplified and there are so many unique cases in stuttering but I still like to learn from each of them. I have gone through different experiences of stu...

I would say for the quickest improvement, although not ideal for long term would be word substitution. For example; instead of saying, “will you take this” you could say, “will you bring this?” Which ...

Ive been stuttering since I was 5. And yup, I had the traditional type of stutter. However, it progressed to speech blocks as I got older. I attempt to get through it by substituting words etc, but ha...

Great response. I agree that fear can trigger us to skip step 1 "decision-making to initiate speech motor programs". Of course, persistent developmental stuttering is not a true freeze response, and i...

>*"We’re only conscious of steps 1 and 17."* To make it more clear. **"Step 1"** Yes, we can consciously do the action of step 1 (decision-making). **"Step 17"** No, we cannot consciously co...

>*"But humans can consciously move some muscles even if we can’t control every step that makes it happen. If I want to raise my arm it happens, because I* ***wanted it to****."* Absolutely, it's l...
