Yes 100%. Anything to slightly throw off your brain. My stutter comes when my brain is predicting words, then it fears them, then it stutters or blocks me. I always try to rephrase words, use synonym...

Its definately cognitive. Fake your confidence till you make it, by forgetting you stutter. Stuttering is no more than a tunnelvision, and to get out you focus on the external world while speaking. ...

Another proof that stuttering is cognitive?

Another proof that stuttering is cognitive? So I recently noticed something. Whenever I face a block, I immediately can get the word/sentence out whenever the person starts talking. I asked a pal to i...

Yes, I do this to myself often. Whenever I stop worrying about stuttering, i do not stutter. I just have to not think about it and take my time. My stutter is caused by anxiety, as my brain thinks f...

I just realized that I still have a hard time pronouncing words inside my head.

I just realized that I still have a hard time pronouncing words inside my head. I still stutter even visualizing words if that make sense....

Actually, this is me too. I think because once I relax, my speech speeds up and I think more about WHAT I'm saying as opposed to HOW I'm saying it....

I've made a post before on this sub about my stutter rubbing off on other people. Mainly, people who already had a mild stutter before. It's pretty disheartening to me. I'm 40 years old, and I've expe...

I’ve had friends who also stutter and at times we’ve set each other off, unconsciously at first, but then we’ve both noticed that our own awareness of the others blocks / repetitions etc is causing in...

Yeah. The more you’re aware of your stuttering, the worse it gets. I didn’t know I was stuttering until my mom started pounding me on it, humiliating me, and made the situation 100 times worse. Don’t...

Yea I notice too that I struggle with proper airflow/ breathing and vocal intonations when talking out loud to myself and even close family. Kinda makes talking a pain. And I also have to focus first...

Disassociation (separate from daydreaming, spacing out) is definitely a function of fear. As you said, if you can phonate/talk (hum or comment to yourself) when deep in thought, but it shuts down t...

I’ve seen some videos of William Perry before👍. I would say you’re partially correct that I may always be at least slightly running a script of fear of speaking. But I really think that being deep...

I think that is a good way to think about the eye-contact phenomenon👍. No, I am referring to the same definition of “block” as you. What I mean is that if I’m in deep thought and someone suddenly ...
