We understand. I once went without heat/hot water for 3 days in the dead of winter bc I was too afraid to call and give my addesss. When I finally did, the receptionist figured out why I hadn’t call...

Actually, I think (and current acadrmic thinking backs this up) that if someone is more fluent when alone, then the only thing that will lead to gaining control of your speech in a *sustainable* way i...

IMO, your initial thoughts were right on target! - anticipatory fear causes blocking. Coming up with other names for it and doing complex analysis about what else precedes blocks will just lead to a...

To clarify, his information is outdated and comes from the fact that dysfluency was incorrectly categorized as a speech/language disorder, instead of an anxiety-type thing. If you are over the age o...

Trying to get rid of something that's a part of you is what makes stuttering so difficult. Learning to accept and stop fighting it is how you live a normal life, saying everything you want, just with ...

The speaker is incorrect. If you can sometimes articulate the sound, it’s NOT an articulation issue. A stutter block is a function of having voluntary fear response (valsalva maneuver) which causes ...

Everything you are describing is a stutter or a secondary behavior. This type of impactful blocking dysfluency is ultimately more of an anxiety disorder - which is why even an SLP doesn’t understand ...

Let me know your progress. I want to additionally say something to explain some terms. For example, I tell myself: 'I can't'. If I engage to 'I can't' by saying: 'Of course I can', then I"m engaging ...

Find a way to accept it and make it apart of you because after all, it is apart of you. I work in a kitchen and we need to tell the waiters what order we just made. I was working today from 12pm til...

That’s good! One day you’re going to say disclosed instead of confessed because having a stutter isn’t a secret you should be ashamed of. Throughout college, you’re going to get more comfortable be...

Realise that everyone has their speaking styles. Us stutterers don´t have to fit into other people´s speaking styles. If its too slow for them, alright, but its not our responsibility to fit into thei...

Acceptance. It's difficult because of how hindering it can be, but what's helped me is not viewing it as something bad because nobody i interact with has an issue with it only me which says alot about...

Yes. For me it's important to always have a way out to communicate what I want to say for example, confidence, an affirmation or writing it down if nothing else works. Imagine I stuttered but got my m...

"Try to speak those words and sentences on which you stutter, as much as possible. You will eventually start to stutter less on those words." * I stutter on all letters and words equally because I do...

Same here as well! It’s weird how it works like that. I use be a lead at my old job so I had to talk to several people and I somehow was able to speak more fluently cause it was fast paced and kind of...
