As long as we make stuttering a battle it seems to get worse. I was a pro athlete and tried bringing the same mentality to overcoming stuttering, it failed miserably and actually would worsen. It’s mo...

Honestly I think anything that allows me to not “get in my head” will probably help me be more fluent. I can talk freely if my mind isn’t focused on what I have to say. Once I start thinking about it ...

Tips to improve stuttering from the research study (2022): "Why Stuttering Occurs: The Role of Cognitive Conflict and Control" (don't rely on controlled processes, don't avoid motor control, tolerate uncertainty, don't fear cognitive or linguistic conflict, increase cognitive flexibility)

Time to let go

Time to let go So I haven't been active on this subreddit for quite a while and I'm sure many others have too but I wanna share something before big changes start occurring in my life for the good or ...

The worst is when you’re trying to do this and you still stutter and they say “I’m sorry your phone must be breaking up” like NO it’s just me 😂...

I feel you. Stuttering has really caused me to be selective and careful on how I interact with people when it comes to normal day to day conversations. If someone likes to speak over people, control t...

A shit ton of coffee used to help me somewhat, along with reading aloud in my bedroom for several hours. Of course like any trick they stopped working once I'd had emergency situations like yours onc...

You said you did therapy, breathing exercises, and speaking more slowly and CBD oil. All of these options could be considered avoidance responses. For example, by focusing on breathing we avoid or hid...

It's up to you. Personally I would try to find out how long time users of the technique are doing (advertised and unadvertised). My opinion, is that anything which involves techniques like breathing ...

Confidence is useful, although I agree it can be limiting if you're doing the wrong things. I think the most bullet proof tool you can wield and develop is working on your mind. When you feel like y...

I think the answers here revolving around tackling the state of your mind are spot on. Learning to sit with the thoughts but not engage with them is a very useful skill. Recognise too that fluent spe...

I'm placing a bet that knowingly or unknowingly you stopped focusing so much mental energy on speaking. From the words you're going to say, to the idea that you're going to stutter. You just let it al...

One thing you may or may not find useful: don't congratulate yourself when you have fluency (no matter how rare it may be). It's the flip side of shame, and both of them probably contribute to the "t...

"If I want to make the effort to talk without stuttering, that's something I should be able to do" But when you do that, what if you're reinforcing the actual stutter to begin with? I.e. you're doing...

I took the course also multiple times. Long story short, I don't recommend it. Here are the cliffnotes: * it's completely different from the McGuire breathing technique * with the DF (del ferro) met...

That’s when I remind myself of the quote “Was it really a bad day, or were it just 5 bad seconds that you milked all day long?”....

I had a similar situation, i hate talking over the phone. I knew in advance i would be stuttering so i said im in a middle of another call on teams let me email you instead. I know its not a solution...

I took the course about 15 years ago. In hindsight, the program was not a good fit for me. The idea is quite simple: Focus extremely on breathing (and visualising); learn what you want to say ...

I'm reading a book now called "stuttering and anxiety self cures" by Lee Lovett. So far I'm feeling very confident about it. It's about mind training and neuroplasticity....

Honestly I thought that ‘practising’ certain words alone would help, but I don’t think it does. Even reading out loud.. I practised for so so long and it didn’t really make a difference. I feel like r...
