Horrible issues with stuttering at work
Horrible issues with stuttering at work Hey everyone, Been having an awful time at work the past few weeks, my job involves answering the occasional phone call to help customers, the problem is I lit...
I just scrolled to the bottom of it haha, didn’t read the whole thing. I discovered valvasa myself recently, but I always forget about it when I need it because I panic so much lol....
Oh…. I just had a regular SVT, and had an ablation a year ago. Had to spend 8 hours in recovery room. Make sure you inform your nurses that you have a speech dysfluency and make sure they give you a...
Everyone does have their own speaking style. Some PWS have developed to the point where speaking AT ALL in very challenging/draining - and blocks lead to an inability to say what you are actually thi...
Had a medical procedure where I needed to lay almost completely still for 8 hours in hospital “group” recovery room. Nurse forgot to give me call button, and I kept blocking while trying to get her a...
The problem became bigger with the blocking. Now I wish having a stutter was the only thing. Now I clench my jaw and shake my head and it's totally uncontrollable. I bite my tongue sometimes I think m...
I have a very similar kind. It used to be really bad in high school and has lessened a little over the years (I'm now 30) The grimacing is very familiar and, at my worst it would cause me to jerk my...
It’s irritating when someone tells me they sometimes stutter too, but it’s because they are almost always referring to a different thing (having occasional repetitions WITHOUT blocks, and the iceberg...
Stuttering more with alcohol
Stuttering more with alcohol Hi all! First time poster here :) Does anyone have an issue of stuttering MORE with alcohol? I find that when I drink, I have quite significant blockage at the start of...
Thank you. Unfortunately my reasons are 99% not based on fear, but thank you for your reply! "attempting to force my way through beginning of a sentence" In my experience, I don't have this specific...
"Can your articulators sometimes move "correctly"?" In my experience: 'yes'. " valsalva maneuver (your core/diaphragm gets tight, resulting in a blockage of airflow" I agree that some PWS tighten t...
Try something like this. My blocks (periods of silence, eye contact avoidance, mild panic, body tension, odd physical movements etc) are caused by: \- fear of listener knowing i talk weird \- fear ...
Can your articulators sometimes move "correctly"? If "no", then your issue is probably another type of speech disorder. If yes, then forget about them as they are not the problem. Learn about your ...
Good point! Here is my attempt to write in a simple structure. I think you misunderstood. What I'm advocating is, our core disorder/problem is not repetitions. In your previous reply you give reasons...
Do you mean what are my other reasons to block? If you mean this, then the answer is: * I want/need/will/identify/I'm disciplined and I'm confident to do a stutter block. This reason then causes (cre...
>What happens when you try the techniques that I keep suggesting? In my experience, if I do: eye contact, exhale, begin slowly, enunciate with voluntary stuttering, then I hold on to my reason reg...
>Listen, you seem to prefer blocks. Personally, I find them terrible because most listeners have no idea what's going on and they are accompanied by fear/stress. > >Mild repetitions are ...
So what is causing the blocks? Please give the answer with a simple billeted list . No extra words....
>Once you are in the block, do you experience fear or reason? In my experience, when I am in a block, I experience a reason. Only 1% of the time I block for the reason of 'fear' in my experience s...
Listen, you seem to prefer blocks. Personally, I find them terrible because most listeners have no idea what's going on and they are accompanied by fear/stress. Mild repetitions are not an issue i...
