Its the most common to stutter ones own name, according to my speech therapist....

I'm 68, and have stuttered since I was 4 years old. Although it is 95% under control, I still have block words. My name being one of them. When I asked my name I can never just say it, I have to h...

Whenever I talk to someone on call or physically I use to stutter only at some trigger words. After I speak those words I speak fluently. When I get stuck on those words, it feels like I know how to s...

I’ll try this out next time but I can assure you that I have a lack of air. One of my worst stutters are ‘who, what, where, when, why, how’ and I can’t latch onto the end of the words. It just ends up...

I get stop stutters and this is how I describe it to people: Imagine you are walking up the stairs. You’ve been walking up stairs almost your whole life and you know how to do it so well you don’t e...

Doesn't sound like stuttering since you're not having speech blocks (you're trying to say a word but it won't come out due to lack of air flow) or repetition (think Porky Pig, even though that not the...

how would you describe stuttering?

how would you describe stuttering? its very interesting to see how different people describe their stutter. for me its like the words are chained in my throat and just wont come out until i change th...

My blocks basically vanished when I learned to stop thinking that “it was a win when people didn’t notice my repetitions”. My repetitions are now super rare and they easily transition into the next...

Basically taught me that blocks happen bc of fear, trying to hide repetitions and trying too hard to push through a repetition. By doing the opposite of what I had been doing, I’ve gone from 100’s o...

That's what I mean, I describe it like a printer running out of ink to my friend, I want to keep talking to someone but it doesn't work anymore and I start only saying like 3 words. I don't know why i...

I'm still confused. If you know what you want to say and you brain has "forgotten" that could be word-retrieval issues with some anxiety. ​ If you think that impactful stuttering is commo...

Having an impactful and sometimes disabling stutter is neither normal or common. Heck, even many many professional SLP's have no idea how to assist people with dysfluency. Running out of things to s...

He used the knowledge to teach himself to speak almost entirely fluently and to help many others do the same. A blocks is using too much force. That’s all it is. I bet most aren’t aware of it tho...

Maybe with the people with whom I spend less time but with my parents and younger brother, I stutter sometimes on some words but while I am alone I can speak those words fluently. I am not able to ide...

Please try to see that there are different types/intensities of stutters. 1. Repetitions/prolongations that smoothly transition to your next sound. 2. More frequent repetitions/prolongations that...

As a teacher of young children, I definitely agree. Boys may be given the message to “use more effort to get through the bumpy speech”, which basically just leads to blocks, fear and avoidances. I...

I’m glad it helps, but if it’s not leading to almost completely smooth speech, then you may want to try ONLY talking on exhales. Fluent speakers really only talk on regular sized exhales. Also, unle...

Many SLP’s suggest techniques that are only appropriate to help people with articulation problems (can NEVER EVER say certain sounds). We need to avoid those as they usually make it worse. It’s as d...

>Now it's even harder for me to speak, I have longer blocks and more frequent repetitions. I agree, it's the same with me I'm also reading in books how to deal with speech blocks and frequent repe...
