A word can be difficult to pronounce and somebody could stutter on that sound, no matter what the beliefs are, yes. Now, the conception of that word with fear leads to more tension, more self-conscio...

Typically what happens to me when I get in certain social situations is that I will breathe wrong, and air will go into the wrong places like the back of my throat and upper chest. My breathing will ...

I feel she was trying to talk about angry speech as in- " How could you do that?! You are so....ahh...urgh...mmmhmp!!"...

I’m happy to hear that! Keep it going! It’s funny isn’t it? Deep down we know what’s right and what’s wrong, what’s rational and what’s irrational. But our conscious mind keeps flooding our attention...

I've discovered that stuttering is not the main disorder that I've had for most of my life. It's merely a symptom of the stress and anxiety of being around others, and my fear of being judged negativ...

The odd thing is that many stutterers don't stutter when they're angry, because their normal voice is not being used. So yeah, it sounds like she was just making it up....

I agree reducing stress and anxiety may significantly decrease the frequency of stuttering and well as severity. Reducing those societal factors such as judgement may help. However, what about the p...

Anxiety reduction and staying positive is just part of my everyday life. Anxiety/depression and the stutter are symbiotic for me. One side causes the other but also reducing one side reduces the other...

Yes, specially when you stutter where the stakes are high. For your kid, it could be talking to teachers or friends or in general the days when you stammer more than usual. For a stutterer, it takes c...

It depends. If the blocking I’m having is related to stress and indecisiveness because I’m speaking faster than I can organize my thoughts, then slowing down would help. But if the block is due to a ...

For me it’s more the setting I’m in. If I am by myself revising (being confident on the topic I’m talking about) or if I am reading I am 100% fluent. If I am not entirely sure on what I am talking abo...

I was doing what you are telling, but actually diaphragm breathing has helped me gain some fluency. Breathing with chest makes my muscles more tense and makes me feel out of breath, which increased my...

Basically the complete opposite of diaphragm breathing. Interesting, because diaphragm breathing is usually advised to people who stutter. Does not help everyone though....

Yes same here. My stutter also has gotten worse the last period. I think it's due to stress and some major life events. Now I even begin to stutter in my dreams which I never did before....

Wth you guys are talking. I had a stutter from my childhood. Due to this I was very shy which I am not when I am with my someone who is aware of my stutter. But guys have faith in The Almighty I worke...

All interconnected. And that fact the stutter is triggered in diff situations vs. others - creates a doorway self-growth and propulsion....

100% Most stutterers don't stutter when speaking alone or speaking in unison with others, it all stems from anxiety around communicating with other people....

I think for some it is mental, and for others it's neurological. It's not the same for all stutterers....

I agree 100% that it is mental. Especially since I can talk to myself and my cat with no problem. My brain is conditioned to switch to a fight-or-flight fear response when interacting with people. ...

It's not mental, it's a mechanical process where your breathing is asynchronous to your speaking. Your mental is just a trigger for bad or good gestion of the problem....
