Youre reading far too much into it for somebody who only stuttered once or twice through their shift. That is actually extremely manageable. You're in your head and need to get out of it....

In my opinion it sounds like you are tense most of the time. Just the idea of speaking gets you so tense that you can’t get a word out even when you are alone. There is no outside tension sitting alon...

My 2 cents: Build your confidence every day by doing something out of your comfort zone. You'll reach a point where other people's comments dont affect you. I am a National Trainer traveling the co...

Are stuttering only when doing acting/performance related things? Or do you stutter a lot throughout normal life? Chances are your brain is focusing too much on the perfomative side and it's messing...

Notice your thinking when you are feeling stressed... that simple step automatically takes you into presence and out of its obsessiveness. ...

I do the same; in fact, i avoid thinking about anything I'm going to say, that way everything that comes out of my mouth is as surprising to me as it is to the audience. ...

CBT as far as i know, concentrates on becoming aware of your thinking, questioning it's validity and realising that you don't have to believe it; for some that's a revelation. It was for me. Becoming ...

At first it will be like fifty fifty, people see more stuttering but you see more control. Trust me give it a try facing a mirror. It's not speech control it's like being aware of yourself...

Stuttering comes with facial cues that many regular people are completely unaware of. Also, most regular people stutter themselves, but minimally and without the fear/avoidance behaviors. In the fac...
