This! I just posted a comment saying the same thing. Didn't realize you said it first here. This was such a eye-opener to me a while back when I started to realize why I was blocking. Now I rather jus...

I recently realized, that my blocks were actually due to me resisting my authentic stutter. My real stutter. The more I resisted stuttering, the harder the blocks. Blocks being when you try to force i...

Stop pushing. To stop blocking you need to make the sound you're afraid to make (the stuttered sound). You can't do this in difficult situations, you can only start working on it in the safest/easiest...

It’s a cycle of just bad presentations and interviews

It’s a cycle of just bad presentations and interviews I am so exhausted of constant horrible interviews and presentations. No matter what I do I still get stuck, I still trip over my words so much. Ev...

Severe. Never a fluent sentence. Blocks that lasted until I ran out of breath. At 13, I got kicked out of the opticians office. I went to pick up my new glasses. Couldn't get my name out. They though...

I feel you brother, having blocks of 10-15 seconds is inconvenient and uncomfortable as hell. One can't imagine to live a normal life with blocks like these...

That's the thing, I try not to to fight it but the tension in my body and throat seems to pop up inherently when I block up and there's just no way to relax...
