Honeslty as someone in a similar position the only thing you can really do is just do it. If you feel the anxiety is too much I’d disclose that you have a speech impediment and it may take you a littl...

While there are studies suggesting it is very genetic, I (genetics undergrad degree/med school + currently doing another graduate degree in genetics) think it’s more that child raising patterns and fa...

Also, I did an intensive fluency shaping where I was guided in deconstructing my speech - physiologically and psychologically. Then, learned the reconstruct. They also taught me meditation. This is go...

I love how you explained this. LOVE. Very helpful. I’ve never heard of a “stutter clutter.” I will explore. I’ve been creating frameworks, systems and processes to keep me out of my own way. Also, m...

* "Speech block A: relying on demands to execute speech movements (such as, I've mentioned above) (**solution**: I fixed this by stopping overreliance on ANY demand. In other words, I execute speec...

🙋 yes i have performed on stage 😃. I used to write plays in college. Once our protagonist got hurt in an accident and i had to take up his role bcz only i knew the lines as i had written them. I was...

I'm fairly fluent today. I'm not perfect and I know we are never cured but I'm in a much better place with my speech today than I ever have been and feel ready enough to try things I would have never ...

Trust me I feel the same way sometimes, I get so angry at myself when I choke up and I walk away like a dumbass and regret being alive sometimes and wishing this could be cured and I would do anything...

Just curious as to your getting stuck on the sound D, have you tried doing a ‘soft contact’ such as ALMOST making the D sound but not fully? Picture a strong “ D” sound compared to a tongue barely tou...

Yes! And for the phone I recommend download a delayed audio frequency app , have your headset to customer in one ear and the headphone connected to phone in the other. It helped me when I was a call a...
