Actually I reasonate with what he said in the podcast. He said that he basically changed his subconcious by repeating 'stop stuttering now' whilst taking the shrooms which I guess helped him access hi...

I try to voluntarily stutter , and do anticipation by myself , but still o cease to stutter. You know like i would voluntarily get my body into the state of stuttering (tensing up , force closing voca...

It sounds like you’re doing great! You should be proud of being proactive with your speech. I would suggest looking for opportunities to push yourself into disfluent situations enough that they beco...

It starts by allowing yourself to stutter openly. Stop the resistance....

I've been in and out of speech therapy and I could only practice fluency with the therapist. I tried using strategies outside of therapy, but I feel like my anxiety would force my disfluency. The st...

Stop and smile. Sounds like a terrible idea at the time but it can help defuse tension it uncertainty about your intentions. It helps make it feel more friendly for both people.. and TBH I wish I'd do...

I have quite the vivid memories from years ago of me stuttering publicly with people reacting weird about it, so I'm not the person to ask for help in this case. What I can say is that, you're not a...

Highly urge you to reconsider. This is as far of an avoidance mechanism as possible! Changing your name is the same as word replacing, only you are literally losing your identity. The reason you stutt...

Laugh it off. Don’t be offended. Laugh with them. Make fun of yourself before they do. Lighten up. These co workers are not laughing at your character or your behavior, it’s just a silly thing. M...

Hitting our breaking point is when we can change. We don't change when we are comfortable, we get complacent. Once you hit rock bottom you decided to do something about your speech. It's all about fac...

Sometimes, it is surprising how much easier speaking becomes (at least for me) when i stutter on purpose. If I know a trouble sound is coming up, a make a point to stutter on it hard, but by choosing ...

Sure. Sorry for not being clear. OP initially asked what people do to combat or fight the urge of holding back, e.g. not saying what you want to say in a given situation. When i do that it’s because o...

Ah. Ok. I start pseuodostuttering. It helps me feel like I’m in control again and gives me a little extra dose of desensitization when I’m stuttering more. ...
