I love learning about brain research and the brain's elasticity so I would personally approach it from that point of view. But I'm not an expert by any means. For me, it's just a popular science hobby...

Hey great advice! What’s one thing that help you from stopping to anticipate or not even care? I feel like for me I’m starting to live more and more in my brain. So how do I get out of that? Something...

So I'd like to leave my personal opinion and experiences here as well, hope it helps! 1. Telling him to think about what he wants to say isn't the best idea. We know what we want to say, we just can'...

Oh. My. God. Reading parts of a text from a book is my biggest fear. I'm able to speak quite well face to face (with only one other person) but reading something from a book or flyer etc. still comple...

Pretty much the same as you. I’ve been stuttering since as long as I can remember too, and it played a big part in developing social anxiety. I remember in elementary school and in junior high, when ...

I think it's part anxiety, part learned behavior. Your brain has leaned over time to speak fluently in private , but in public "I'm a stutterer". I know which words I'll block on, but when I'm not act...

Anxiety or overthinking can do lots of weird things. A lot of people report lessening or even overcoming their stutter after overcoming their fear of speaking - their fear of stuttering. Im the sa...

1. I read about a concept that is called "blackout" that occurs when you are about to stammer some people tend to go unconscious. You describe it pretty well youself. It´s a way of escaping or not dea...

Exactly I face this too. I always stutter when I think before speaking. I am trying to avoid thinking but it always comes all of a sudden, so I stutter. It's a vicious cycle going on. Don't how can I ...
