I only stutter when I have to explain something or tell a story

I only stutter when I have to explain something or tell a story Why is it that I can say any curse word I want, any stupid phrase, and it comes out like butter. Honestly, for my whole life, I've bee...

I didn’t read your whole reply but sounds too negative. I’m not here to convince or beg you. Do what you want.. if you want to stutter and have a negative mindset go ahead. I’m just here to suggest wh...

I aim for subtracting control because that's the closest thing that non-stutterers do. 'Stuttering' can mean a variety of things from stutter cycle to repetitions, speech blocks or even secondary beh...

I completely understand your struggle. I’ve thought about stuttering almost all day every day of my life, with some exceptions and some good periods. The problem you’re describing is the reason for ma...

You´ve got intelligent thinking but I think you´re going too deep into it. I can relate. I admit it can be a paradox. Thinking about something else can hijack your attention though. Your thought doesn...

"there is a problem" \- tongue doesn't have a problem, yes indeed, we are able to 'choose' to move our tongue when we speak \- what is holding us back is 'forcing/trying/controlling'. So, always hav...

And what if I use another thought only in order to not think about the pink elephant? Let's say I think about the damn elephant all day. Literally all day. At this point I would be using a thought JUS...

No. When you are not thinking about a pink elephant you are not doing the very action of not thinking about it, but what you are actually doing is thinking about something else. There is a difference ...

Oh yeah I know they don't mean to be annoying it's just that 99% of the time they guess, it's wrong, and they keep on doing it. Can't blame them tho, they're just trying to have a conversation...

And how do you stop thinking about a pink elephant if it's something you do unconsciously. Like, you have to try not to think about it (which is contradictory itself) to stop doing it unconsciously...

What they mean is that you gotta treat it like «trying to sleep». You won’t go to sleep faster just by focusing on it. In fact this will make it harder for you to sleep. You have to «fall» asleep by l...

The people he coaches yea they tend to forget to use a crutch because they haven’t practiced them well enough to use them in pressured situations. They use it only when they’re getting coached and don...

If you're doing things to increase fluency, you're continuing to value fluency, stigmatized stuttering and you're likely going to end up having a bad time. The only one above I agree with is eye conta...

I do the same thing. Really take a step back and look at it, in the grand scheme of life and the universe it means nothing. Ya kind of drab but it seems to work for me, at least for a little bit....

I did reply but it seems to be lost so I'll try and summarise again. After various types of speech therapy failed, I started to figure it out on my own. I had a severe stammer most of the time, b...

I agree completely, my 2 cents is to: 1. always expect anticipatory anxiety and learn to stay calm while feeling this anxiety 2. don't ignore or avoid the anxiety because if you don't feel it anymore,...

So this is a really drab way of looking at a situation or dealing with it hahah but I remind myself that literally nothing matters and we won't be alive to remember it eventually. I know that's such a...

>I've gained a lot of fluency just by working through my traumas, dealing with anxiety issues, and examining the various factors that lead to my own dysfluency. I'm very interested. What factors d...

You're contradicting yourself when first you say stuttering is social anxiety, then you acknowledge that most people with social anxiety don't stutter. I completely agree with everything else you say...

Mine has greatly improved over the past 5 years, it still comes up frequently. The greatest obstacle I had to overcome was my comfort in speaking situations and self confidence. I always mention my st...
