I think it's so interesting how for people who stutter, one of the most difficult things for us to say is our name. This should say a lot and I feel is worth reflecting on. In addition to this, examin...

I do have allergies to nuts and melon seeds. And when I was little to egg. Maybe I'm allergic to the weather. I don't know. I hope that's what it is, so I at least know the problem. > Can I ask, d...

First post, seeking advice Hello stuttering friends. This is my first post here; I just wanted to share my experience/ask for some advice. So. I am 21 and in college. When I was young, my stutter was...

Hi, yes, I've read about this being true for other people. I figure it's akin to not stuttering if you speak in a different accent? Though, I suppose this would not work if you had both languages fr...

My stuttering is really strange. I have no problems giving a presentation or talking when I am *standing up or able to move freely.* This is because I use my hands to help my fluency. My stuttering co...

Stuff which might help.. 1. I know C/K is formed by your articulators (what happens in your mouth), but try to get the sound of C + whatever vowel follows into your chest, so that you can feel the v...

I've been playing for 29 years. Music is my outlet too, and I feel the same way about its ability to express what words cannot. It's not a physical block, or it doesn't feel like it. It's just my min...

For me it's about how I react to a stutter. There are so many tricks that worked for me in short therm but later got so automated, that it is part of the problem by now. Most of my learned reactions t...

LOL, I do this sometimes. I'll try to bruteforce a block and end up almost yelling while stomping my foot....

That is a great response. I usually get all red and then manage to bark out what I was trying to say...

Well, this was about 20 years ago so bear with me as I try to remember - many of the skills she taught me were breathing-related. What we did was read. I read out loud to her and to myself (recorded) ...

I've been to one when I was around 12-13 years old for a few sessions. So I only have experience with what I did. But a large part of it was practicing how to speak slower and start out my sentences s...
