I completely understand your struggle. I’ve thought about stuttering almost all day every day of my life, with some exceptions and some good periods. The problem you’re describing is the reason for ma...

You´ve got intelligent thinking but I think you´re going too deep into it. I can relate. I admit it can be a paradox. Thinking about something else can hijack your attention though. Your thought doesn...

"there is a problem" \- tongue doesn't have a problem, yes indeed, we are able to 'choose' to move our tongue when we speak \- what is holding us back is 'forcing/trying/controlling'. So, always hav...

And what if I use another thought only in order to not think about the pink elephant? Let's say I think about the damn elephant all day. Literally all day. At this point I would be using a thought JUS...

No. When you are not thinking about a pink elephant you are not doing the very action of not thinking about it, but what you are actually doing is thinking about something else. There is a difference ...

Oh yeah I know they don't mean to be annoying it's just that 99% of the time they guess, it's wrong, and they keep on doing it. Can't blame them tho, they're just trying to have a conversation...

And how do you stop thinking about a pink elephant if it's something you do unconsciously. Like, you have to try not to think about it (which is contradictory itself) to stop doing it unconsciously...

What they mean is that you gotta treat it like «trying to sleep». You won’t go to sleep faster just by focusing on it. In fact this will make it harder for you to sleep. You have to «fall» asleep by l...

I never get anxious about the words...so that doesnt apply to me...I know my own stuttering cause....!!! Every cause is different for every stutterer--LOL!!! Doing all his "tricks" and then relapsing...

I never ever thing about words or thoughts before hand...but still stutter terribly....doesnt apply to me!!!!...

Why would you not think about the stutter when whispering? It doesn’t take much focus to whisper. Exactly the same as regular talking....

does anybody find it easy to talk if they don't think about the words beforehand?

does anybody find it easy to talk if they don't think about the words beforehand? Let me try to explain. It seems like if I have a planned sentence or have thought about words in advance of a conversa...

Prop cause you arent thinking about the stutter wheb whisperin? When whispering you maybe focus on whisperin and your brian has no connecting with stutterin and whisperin?...

Agreed on the eye contact. But knowing what your mouth is doing can be helpful in know what it should be doing. If you're trying to say the word "pants" and you can't get to the **a**, it can be helpf...

If my intrusive obsessive thought is a pink elephant and I want to stop thinking about it like: 'stop thinking about the elephant' then I keep thinking about it. I have a question. In my experience, i...

>I think we are saying the opposite thing tho! I think you said to try thinking about moving your mouth. I understand completely what you mean. Yet, intention does not equal thinking about moving ...

>Thinking about what your mouth is doing is a misdirection. I agree completely! Because focusing on intention does not equal focusing on your mouth. I ask you to stand up from your chair and have ...

>Do you think delayed auditory feedback is just as good as choral reading or a bit worse since it still requires you to initiate the speech on your own? In my opinion there are probably 100 of dif...

>Choral Reading for Fluency? After reading 100s of stutter books/research I'd like to share my viewpoint: If we stutter (on auto-pilot), then during a speech block we don't **have the intention**...
