I believe your right. But when ever I try to relax my diaphragm in situations I have a built in "phobia" about like when saying my name I still get blocked...I learned that on speech class years ago b...

My experience was more of a program. Learning basic techniques. Achieving fluency at very rudimentary speech exercises. Adding / modifying techniques. Increasing the complexity of the exercises. Maint...

You’re spot on about using the diaphragm! It’s something called the “costal breath”, it’s the same breath used when you yawn! Also keeping eye contact if possible and like you say relaxing and just ...

What technique do you use? As you may know there are two groups of stuttering techniques: fluency shaping (slowing down speech rate, controlled breathing, etc.) and block modification technique (cance...

I Am Fluent

I Am Fluent I’ve had a stutter since I can remember. My blocks and repetitions were always bad. I felt like Everyone who spoke to me saw me as only someone who stutters. I’ve always hated it and myse...

I do have a good answer. After leaving high school, It slowly dawned on me how much speech therapy and my mandated speech technique homework had helped me, I simply did not know. Back then, I was most...

A revelation through AI

A revelation through AI Hey everyone, I wanted to share a new exercise that I’ve been doing. Basically, it involves practicing techniques like easy onset through ChatGPT generated exercises. The AI mo...

I’m a little confused why people are claiming that a stutter is something that you should just accept. Speech therapy and the use of specific exercises on a consistent basis can in fact ‘cure’ even a ...

My mid-to-late teens were a trying time for very similar reasons. High school was something I endured and participated in as little as I possibly could. When I graduated, I distinctly remember how ple...

Hey - Congrats on the new job. Do what makes you feel most comfortable, perhaps forewarn your manager/colleagues that you have a stammer and even mention it on the phone if that makes you feel better....

Honestly, for me, answering the phone the same way over and over made it easier. I had a "phone voice" which helped it come out smoothly....

Adopt the mindset of “if I was born with a stutter, then you have to listen to it”. Practice helps also. Speaking is just like anything else and if you don’t use it, you lose it. Try to read out-loud ...

There is some kind of disruption between our thought and our speech mechanism. So I recommend experimenting with different speaking modalities, and zooming in on the modality that allows you to expres...

The only other “research” I’ve found that could help is medicine, but antipsychotics could have significant adverse effects that could debilitate you like Parkinsonism, or tardive dyskinesia. Someone ...

You trick your brain that you speak like a person you think speaks really well. For me- that’s Donald Trump. He uses his hands when he talks. He brings them together and apart again. Have you watched ...
