To stop forcing words it is simple in theory but complicated in pratice, whenever you try to start a word and it begin to lock, you need to stop trying to force the word and start over and over and ov...

May I ask what you did to train your breathing and how you stopped forcing words out? Since for me I try speaking but it feels like I’m partially being suffocated....

Anyone get the feeling of suffocating / running out of breath or a sense of straining yourself when speaking?

Anyone get the feeling of suffocating / running out of breath or a sense of straining yourself when speaking? Question says it all really. Whenever speaking I usually feel like there’s a pressure in m...

I’m explaining why almost everyone with an impactful stutters blocks on their own name, and why it’s often the hardest block to resolve. If you are interested in learning, I’d be glad to explain fu...

Who are you to tell a stranger they have trauma based on one little thing. I can't say my name either most the time..because it happens to be sounds I get stuck on. Where's the trauma?...

I’m an optical engineer, I deal with this every day. Just gave a presentation yesterday actually and blocking is so frustrating sometimes… but I try to just let it go and get the information across as...

Yes yes yes. Or sometimes it'll look like I'm contemplating a certain question to which I 100% know the answer. In reality I'm just stalling or biding time, building up momentum to hopefully get thro...

I tried Pagaclone. There was no effect. Perhaps it was a placebo. I also tried Zyprexa. I encountered blocks (that I normally dodge via circumlocution) and I had a left eyelid twitch. The twitching la...

It's moreso that I tend to stutter A LOT more with strangers and especially when nervous, and my blocks can get pretty intense (5-10 seconds). And I find that people who don't know about my stutter te...

Yeah and my stutter is mainly if not only blockages. On particuarly long blocks I can also have some minor face contorts. I fully understand people in this thread not telling beforehand in case their ...

Oh, dh=dear husband. I think the one thing I wished he would have told me was the blockage part. I can see and hear a stutter. Not shocking to see that but blockage i was not prepared for at all when ...

I see. Yeah I definitely rarely forget my stutter, but I do see that if you're it's not a big part of your life and it's less visible that it's not worth it to mention before meeting. For me though, e...

I don't know, getting hung up on and blocked 5 seconds into a phone call really fucking cut....

Own your stutter does NOT mean “be okay with blocking” It means “letting people hear some repetitions IS the way to significant reduce blocking”...

Avoiding eye contact causes blocking. It obviously goes in the other direction too, but if you want to stop blocking on your name, make eye contact and exhale...

Ah yeah it's the opposite for me. But also when I get really stuck and try to force it out.. I seem to stop breathing so I'd get winded then just make it worse. So stopping to collect myself has work ...

From what I've read on here over the last couple months. Most stutters are different in some way. But we all seem to have a set patterns and or consistent sounds that trigger us. So yeah as long as yo...

Actually, yup I have it sometimes! Had it in baseball while throwing. And sometimes while I spray-paint, my finger locks up when I’m about to press down the cap. I also have thought it is almost one ...

I get people stutter/stumble at times but it's different for myself. I once had a call and I had to say limited and my stutter was really bad that day, I ended up saying "limi-li-li-li-limited" and it...

I didn’t know either, but ever since I was young when I would play with tech decks (finger skateboards) I couldn’t get my fingers/hands to move specific ways to do tricks. I just felt like if I couldn...
