Tiring because I chose nearly every word that came out of my mouth and became a walking thesaurus to avoid (as best I could) my “Bad Words.” This worked(ish), but I still had days where I was struggli...

Thank you again for responding and taking the time to share your experiences of having stutter in the army and after. I really appreciate it! I'll definitely try putting myself in more speaking situat...

I do very heavy strength training, enough load to only be able to do 5 reps and sets of 4-5. Really helps clear my mind, relives tention and makes my speech alot more fluent because I'm so relaxed pos...

I use my "phone voice" when answering and it helps get me going. Also it helped me to always answer the same way each time....

How do I help my speech when I don’t have access to privacy

How do I help my speech when I don’t have access to privacy So I moved to Australia 5 months ago from England, I moved with a friend and my stutter improved drastically but ever since we split ways it...

You may have anxiety which peaks up in situations where you have to speak in public and over the phone. I have this too and I feel like it's us, anticipating a negative or unwelcoming reaction from th...

Hey boss, I absolutely know the feeling. As a kid I couldn't even say my name without stuttering massively. Now I give presentations to the executive committee at my work (15-20 senior executives). He...

Wow you must be very intelligent. Almost Jimmy Neutron tier. You can lead conversations to a certain point so you can use words you don't stutter on? That's some next level stuttering avoidance behavi...

Because you dont need it?? Theres nothing wrong with you bruh. You should try different techniques and control your pacing. Take deep breathes before you speak and dont think about what you're gonna s...

I have the opposite. I find that I cannot talk particularly fast otherwise I just seem to run out of steam and start choking up on myself. I find it quite easy to speak some prepared thing if I do not...

Right you're correct. The cerebellum was only mentioned as it relates brains scans taken from people who spontaneously recovered. But I think it gives us an indication on what brain region needed to b...

I was talking about Hollins. My bad. Rushed a bit there. I liked Dr. Christian. He mentioned the cerebellum in spontaneous recovery of stuttering though, not in regard to the fluency shaping program. ...

For me, it’s the complete opposite. If I stutter, it always help for me to talk slower and/or really think of every word I’m saying before I say it...

Hi, nice pfp, this clearly shows how complex stuttering is, even when I speak fast sometimes I don't stutter, but in most cases speaking slowly is less likely to stutter, this is what some researchers...

Haven't heard of whom? If your taking about Dr. Christian, it's just the guy who's been interviewed in the video I linked about research on stuttering. If your talking about Hollins, then it's not per...

Opposite for me. I find I speak faster when I have less control of my breath, to rush what I can get in. I have more fluency when I focus on control of my breath and sort of force myself to slow down....

I used to talk fast without intending to. And I realized it was from a fear of blocking on words. In the end though, I still ended up blocking on words. And what's more I was out of breath because I w...

Just got accepted into a speech therapy post-baccalaureate program!

Just got accepted into a speech therapy post-baccalaureate program! I struggled with stuttering and pronunciation issues all my life. I didn’t realize it until recently. I’ve mastered my stuttering fo...

Haven't heard of him, but he sounds a bit like a shady salesman. You cannot quantify fluency with such specificity without it costing you accuracy. If I was to derive the cure, I wouldn't try so hard ...

Yea I'd thought maybe you were the same person. Guess not huh.. Oh so you're Albanian! I can probably count on one hand the number of y'all I've met in my 28 years. Only one I can remember is a frie...
