Stuttering is more about knowing what you want to say and it doesn't come out as you'd like. After a while, your brain gets so busy coming up with work-arounds, that you get confused/overwhelmed and...
Please try to see that there are different types/intensities of stutters. 1. Repetitions/prolongations that smoothly transition to your next sound. 2. More frequent repetitions/prolongations that...
As a teacher of young children, I definitely agree. Boys may be given the message to “use more effort to get through the bumpy speech”, which basically just leads to blocks, fear and avoidances. I...
Many SLP’s suggest techniques that are only appropriate to help people with articulation problems (can NEVER EVER say certain sounds). We need to avoid those as they usually make it worse. It’s as d...
Thank you for your question. What I found in the MCguire books is this: >Fear of being perceived as insane versus desire to be perceived as sane: A stammerer using lots of tricks and avoidances no...
Stuttering for me comes when I'm anxious or when I think about the exact words I want to say. For anxiety, a therapist can help, reducing the stress will reduce stuttering and slow down the recursive ...
I had a long period of time with bad stuttering events being constant. I would say I am getting better recently because I’m forcing myself to talk more without hesitating. Usually I think about words ...
It may be a stupid answer, but just don’t think about it. A more practical tip would be to think about something else. Think about the things you are actually doing right now, or in a conversation thi...
>Now it's even harder for me to speak, I have longer blocks and more frequent repetitions. I agree, it's the same with me I'm also reading in books how to deal with speech blocks and frequent repe...

Should I be seeing a speech therapist or a actual psychologist for my stutter? I don’t stutter when I’m alone as much but when I speak to people, my stutter is definitely there. I find hard to talk ba...
Yep very similar situation here! This is quickly becoming a mini obsession of mine - the fact that the recording has such a powerful effect is fascinating. Is it simply a cue that our unconscious mind...
This has always baffled me as a stutterer, particularly with blocking. I feel like it's a clue or some kind of insight into the mechanics of my how brain short circuits. Just can't figure it out tho....

been feeling really stressed out this year This year will be my final year in college. And it will be the first where I have to make a presentation, for my graduation project. I managed to run away fr...
I stumbled upon your post today. I can totally resonate with you. I'm 28 and have given more 50 interviews till date. I have stuttered to an extent that the interviewers have asked me to type on notep...
The worst, for me at least, is when I manage to say something fine without stuttering or minimal stuttering and they go "huh?" and want me to repeat it....
Great post! You never had a stutter disorder until 13 years old where you then started to block and few months afterwards it turned into a severe form until 26 years old. You experience that something...
It can happen actually. I started noticing it when I try to compose a sentence in a language that I'm currently learning. It's really weird and maybe it has something to do with my multitasking, Becau...
The points in this book are definitely pragmatic, I think it makes a lot of a sense. On your 3 points, I used to agree with all 3, but this book changed my mind: Stuttering exists in the unconscious...
>I know that preparation does help, but speaking fast in general does increase my stutter. Does anyone have any tips on how to talk quickly without stuttering much? Also, more generally, during a n...
