25+ years. Really bad I would get blocked on first words and would always try to force them out and make weird facial expressions. Also would have repeat of words. His methods work if you’re consisten...

First rule of stuttering parents: name your child something you can easily say. I’m not joking at all. This was a serious concern when naming my child. I’ve had to suffer through my own name my enti...

What science? Please reference it, there is no study detailing the cause of stuttering. Yes fluent people do block and prolong words, they just brush over it though unlike us who hold onto it and can...

That's nice and all, but completely irrelevant because the science does not necessarily agree (still needs a lot of research, but I know that a random reddit commenter doesn't have a succinct explanat...

I have found that when hitting a block is to stop talking. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly then try again. I've had my share of really bad stuttering blocks and they can be quite demoralizing f...

Can we talk about how emotionally triggering speech blocks can be?

Can we talk about how emotionally triggering speech blocks can be? Just had a wonderful conversation with someone i haven’t seen in awhile. After effortless speech, the moment finally came…. She asked...

The best way I can describe it is, You know exactly what you want to say. But then there's this entity that you just always know is there, and you can just tell when he's going to grab your vocal cor...

Something being caught in your throat, but clearing it won’t help. (For blockers) Not being able to control how many short syllables come out of your mouth (for repetition patterns) For elongated stut...

For me, my stutter is tension based, where my throat locks up. So I explain it as like, trying to cough up words but my throats locked up so I can’t. Or I say its like being strangled by words, or lik...

Same with writing for me and now when i play a game of marble pitch it takes me like 5 seconds to be able to peach the marble out of my hand and before i used to be able to play it normal now i lose g...

Ive added some more to my post but I have a similar experience to you. There are words which I've listed in my post which I am more likely to stutter on but I could say them perfectly fine for a whol...

Thanks for such an informative comment. I will try all those steps. As you said, I do feel extremely nervous and mostly have blocks rather than repetitions. I think it's because I want to hide my st...

As others have said, a silent block is one of the three types of primary stuttering behaviors. The other two are repetitions and prolongations. But however you want to describe it or talk about it, i...

Stuttering is not only repetition, blocking is also part of it. I'm the same as you, as in I block mostly in anxious situations, like presentations and interviews. What I noticed is that, in my case,...

>Blocking is actually a more “severe” form of stuttering. It happens bc you are so fearful of ppl hearing your repetitions, you try very hard (too hard!) to hide them. That causes the block. I'm o...

Thanks. I’m not in the US but that’s good to know. I kind of more have blocks and pauses so my stuttering is the same as like mumbling or being awkward/ anti-social or unsure about what I want to say...

Something that my speech therapist told me, was breathing “with your tummy” rather “than your chest” causes less tension that causes blocks like that. For me, tension in my throat causes blocks, and w...
