Yes, for some reason over the last few years being asked to repeat myself makes my stammer much worse! I think it’s to do with being put on the spot in that moment…it didn’t used to be as much of an i...

Soo concentrate but not concentrate. Forget you stutter? Sure thanks...

Yes! I’ll get it out perfectly and clearly and then they want me to repeat and I’m like “uhhh…I….the…yeah”. Sometimes I give up and say something entirely different from my first sentence but that’s m...

Yeah, just had to repeat myself at the store, ended up holding the line up for a couple of minutes with the whole store going from bustling sounds to complete silence... Oh well, you gotta get what yo...

Happened just yesterday, I don’t know why. All we can do is ask them to shut up or say nothing . Or say what I never said anything. /s...

I've been visibly upset by having to do this. Funnily, sometimes while I'm in my speech block/stutter while repeating, they tend to recall what I had said and finish what I was about to say correctly....

I feel like often the hardest part of my job (dental hygienist) is talking to elderly patients that are hard of hearing and struggling to repeat what I just said when they don’t hear me the first time...

Being asked to repeat yourself is the absolute worst

Being asked to repeat yourself is the absolute worst There have been a countless amount of times where I was able to speak clearly, but then the person I’m talking to asks me to repeat it, because eit...

I had the exact same thing in my early 20s. It wasn’t stuttering per se, but I would get stuck on random words. It was so frustrating and it really messed up my life for a few years until I figured ou...

No Stuttering When Talking/Conversing But Always There When Reading Aloud? I've had a stutter my whole life. I've always known its a psychological problem because there have been phases in my life whe...

I am in a similar position to you. At 30 I’ve probably never been in a better place in my life professionally, personally, financially or otherwise, but my stutter is getting worse and worse. I’m pro...

Help me decide whether I should continue using the tools I learned from speech therapy

Only tourette work continues. I sent an e-mail to the official. Ecopipam stopped working for stuttering. Only orpheus continues. ...

Ecopipam

Ecopipam I saw that Ecopipam began phase 3 trials back in March 2023. Any idea when it will become available for use?...

Great answer. You're so right about the two-way communication. We don't stutter when talking to ourselves or to a pet because there's no one there to judge us....

No.. that's communication because there is a 2nd person listening to you and wanting to make meaning of what you are saying. Speaking to yourself.. there is no other listener....

Great article, findings make sense. So in other words if we could always "trick" our brains that we are alone and that no one is listening to us speak then maybe we will never stutter again....

I sometimes need to close my eyes to get through a block. I don't know if it's because it's shutting out the world or it makes it so there's less info going to my brain, but at least it seems to work....
