Great video! Additionally, I want to say that there are two primary behaviors how People Who Stutter (PWS) create a speech block: * PWS stop breathing out * or PWS stop with moving their articulators...

My biggest challenge is try to get my point across when talking to someone. When I am in a conversation and cannot speak and get the word I try and change the word and everything but It doesn’t come o...

I agree. I think this comes down to blocking and stuttering freely. There are times where I block for almost 20-30 seconds. It's important to start conversations by telling people you're a person who ...

Intimately the end result of your advice (accepting your stutter) is great. But without addressing how to get there or the different intensities/secondary behaviors associated, many PWS are not being...

I used to block and I worked on it and now I no longer block. The truth is blocking is something *you* are doing, not something happening to you. It feels like it's beyond your control, but it's not....

Same here. It can be really hard for me to start my sentences in phone calls so I get the "hellooooo?? Hello?" Then hang up lol...

Yeah when my stutter is bad, I need someone to look at me or say something first before I'm able to speak. I found that making a little noise jumpstarts me though. I used to whisper "alrighty" and the...

And the stress induced by that question just makes a block worse....

I mean, I don’t know for sure, but if you are the person they talk to most, that’s likely why they stutter more around you, just because they are talking more with you. A block is when someone is tr...
