I'm 37 years old male, and I developed stuttering during puberty which became worst and worst with each passing year. The reason for the stuttering was purely psychological, I was really depressed wit...

Haha I wouldn’t say I get it ALL out, but it can be better if I’ve talked it through a little on my own first...

>If I were able to forget I stuttered, would it go away? **Question #1:** What is your opinion? I mean, do you think stuttering goes away if you forget that you stutter? In my opinion, yes and no...

I have the same problem. For me it is because I'm scared I'll stutter and that stress makes me stutter. It's weird but when I'm alone I speak fluently so thats probably the cause. For you to reduce it...

Very interesting hypothesis about inner speech and stuttering

Very interesting hypothesis about inner speech and stuttering [https://understandingdysfluency.com/2016/04/18/stuttering-a-new-theory-that-could-shed-light/](https://understandingdysfluency.com/2016/0...

That is definitely the belief of SLPs who specialize in dysfluency! (That it’s caused by speaking memories of being perceived as different/bad). Once you know this, it gets much easier to get comfor...

I switched from short acting stimulants to the LA version and it reduced the jitters. ADHD meds help me focus on what I’m saying instead of wandering in my head and my speech tends to feel smoother. B...

Exactly why I ask. It could be argued that if the neurological map related to stuttering doesn't know to fire (or isn't triggered by anxiety/thoughts of stuttering), then it could be passed over and e...

No, I don't think so. I have a horrible memory, sometimes I forget I have it ( ik it sounds weird ), but I still have a block. Not sure about stutter, though....

It's a snake oil self help book......and the tools offered are extremely awkard and the only way this book will help if one knows what they will stutter on before it happens....I never have any feared...

This is all very classic impactful dysfluency (blocking, esp on things you have to say, like your name). A hard silent block is based on fear of people hearing your repetitions, imperfections - the ...

Don't make a big deal out of it.. please don't go to a SLP the only people here that would say that are probably SLP. 3 years is very young. If the kid starts thinking he has a stutter, it will get wo...

I don't know if it would completely go away but it would definitely help. The reason it would help is because worrying about it makes it worse so if you're not thinking about it then it will probably ...

You probably pause because you feel you might stutter and you don't want to stutter. The alternative is to continue speaking and let the disfluency happen naturally, but we've often unconsciously deve...

>"Anybody else ever experienced anything like this or have any ideas to why it would happen?" Yes absolutely, stress could have been the initial trigger at age 28. As to why? Whenever you are in a...

Weed helped my speech a lot too. I have attention issues and when I’m high somehow I can be more present in what I’m going to say instead of rushing through words...

Some ppl in this sub will tell you to embrace your stutter or just “don’t care what others think”. If you could do that, you would. Others may suggest you make spreadsheets, charts and graphs to an...

We need to raise awareness within ourselves of what we are talking about. Stuttering is NOT caused by nervousness/anxiety of the immediate situation. But if you can speak comfortably and fluently wh...

I don’t mind just because it keeps the conversation flowing rather than me having to struggle for a moment. It never bothers me unless they’re wrong and then keep trying to guess until they get it rig...

I aim for subtracting control because that's the closest thing that non-stutterers do. 'Stuttering' can mean a variety of things from stutter cycle to repetitions, speech blocks or even secondary beh...
