I freeze and find it very hard to open my mouth when I start a sentence while doing eye contact. I usually wait till that eye contact is broken before saying a long sentence. In this case, physically...

I agree with everything you said. Yes indeed, we cannot remove hardwired thoughts/feelings (or eliminate triggers). You correctly pointed out that this is impossible. Perhaps, an alternative workaroun...

Hi, all of these seem like the way to go.. but applying them in real life will be difficult. The basic thing is to open to mouth/articulators no matter what and remove all thoughts related to stutter...

>Anyone know why that could be? Great post! You argue that you can't get out specific words in certain situations, like when they ask for your name. **Why is that?** Answer: One point of view is...

I speak very fast when I’m nervous so I slow myself down and when I need a moment to think I’ll take a sip of water to give me time to process my thoughts and what to say next...

Thank you. I'm learning that what messes me up in interviews is trying not to stutter by thinking about how to say each word properly. I'll try to get into the habit of trying not to think about it. I...

The hardest thing for a stutterer is to not think of your speech impediment in that kind of situations. But I don't struggle that much myself in interviews anymore because I think more on my appearanc...

Did you analyze your 'stutter cycle' a little, on average or a lot?

Did you analyze your 'stutter cycle' a little, on average or a lot? According to a study done by Nils Lind with a test group of 5,500 men, women, and children. Stutterers actually performed better on ...

Anticipation (of negative listeners responses)(or that stuttering might happen) often leads to us paralyzing our tongue, jaw or other speech muscles and then it brings about a speech block. In contra...

There’s no fix, it’s the hard pill to swallow. All I can say is try keep your mind off it. Find stuff to do to keep yourself occupied like gaming, exercising, working. In my opinion, the other thing ...

>Look up the Demand vs Capabilities model in stuttering I agree, if we demand (or require) fluency, then we see stuttering as a problem and to be avoided. So, if we then anticipate negative listen...

The number one trick I have is to never overthink, NEVER!!! Because overthinking at-least for me always causes me to stutter and I don’t know why. In my experience I would always have trouble ordering...

Tips to improve stuttering (prioritize the defective programming or stutter program instead of reducing unhelpful triggers, reactions, senses, experiences etc) **Question**: what is your opinion? 20%...

You get it! Yay:) Another thing i did was realize that I moved really fast even when I didn’t need to, and it was based on anxiety of not accomplishing enough. I started to slow down tiny things (o...

>We just don’t know any other path of speaking I agree with you that we don't know know any other path of speaking, we certainly don't **focus** on maintaining the forward flow of speech. The prob...

>The fear of stuttering is in most cases the actual problem. I agree with you. I resonate with your **viewpoint** so much! I think another **viewpoint** is, that I often experience fluency where I...

I agree with you 100%. Additionally, I think it's effective to change our dysfunctional belief system: "I stop sending command signals to our tongue, jaw etc, if I am convinced e.g., as you said, when...

I’ve had the effect involuntarily happen on phone or zoom calls and it temporarily helps. If you’ve ever had to monitor your SPM during speech therapy, it’s a similar thing where it makes you realize ...

If you can shut off the worrying, then def do that. But whrn you realize that is likely impossible to *just do it*, you can try doing the things that work - begin on exhale, make eye contact...

I’m saying that worrying about what words coming up next, and overthinking the fact of “will I be able to say this without blocking?” Is something that I feel can be avoided. I’m not saying rush out...
