I have been thinking about the same a lot last few weeks. Maybe I stutter only because I can’t articulate properly? Maybe I’m just stressed out and want to get the words out quickly, which result in m...

How to stay mindful while speaking?

How to stay mindful while speaking? I've stuttered my whole life and never really thought anything of it. I was very sheltered and it never really made my life difficult, so I never really cared. I'm ...

Removing need helps a bit. But the dysfluency is quite real - In your mind and otherwise. When I say to talk slower, I’m just saying to speak with more intention, clarity - it’s easier to control vo...

>And missed my point. I agree with your positive effects to speak slowly: * learning to accept that you have a right to talk * feeling ok to take up space * giving opportunities to take deep brea...

You kinda lost me. And missed my point. I’m actually saying that many AWS probably speak too fast (and mumble, cause themselves more pressure, etc). I’m also just saying to *begin* talking slowly. ...

There is a poll where stutterers voted, that if they are not thinking about stuttering and pronunciation, then they don't (or much reduced) stutter. Also, I think taking a breath is about reducing fea...

Would you also agree with these negative effects of speaking slowly? Negative effect of speaking slowly: * you reinforce anticipation because you NEED to speak slowly (reassurance-seeking: relying o...

Woaw thank you for the explanation. So in short you said: Positive effect of speaking slowly: * learning to accept that you have a right to talk * feeling ok to take up space * giving opportunities ...

1. I think we look away bc of shame and not wanting to see facial expressions of listener. Looking at listener is a *simple body action* that can, over time, reverse that pattern of shame 2. I th...

Do we subconsciously cause our stutter?

Do we subconsciously cause our stutter? I’ve noticed that I never stutter when I’m paying no attention to what my mouth is doing and when I speak what I’m thinking as I’m thinking it. When I give a pr...

I agree with you. About your technique, I agree with eye contact because blinking or looking away are rituals. A question, what is the positive and negative effect of speaking slowly? Objectively spe...

If the process actually helps you/anyone, then great! But I imagine this very lengthy process is extremely unsustainable for most everyone - and could increase generalized anxiety for some (“I have ...

This is true! Especially for one who observes his stutter mindset for the first time. The feels of draining reduces if he: ​ * finally has a complete list of his triggers/attachments * r...

My point was that it must be draining for you if you are asking many questions/analyzing/actively observing your unconscious - during every speaking situation where you may have dysfluency....

> "If you resolve that trigger, it's a domino effect from thereon out." Yes, you are on point! We stop compulsion, if: 1. we don't have triggers (anticipatory anxiety) 2. we stop reacting to tri...

> "It must take up a lot of your thinking power if you are often doing this level of tracking." Absolutely, all the focus or attention moves to what my unconsciousness is thinking and feeling. Ob...

Yes. Your stuttering is caused from emotional overwhelm habit you've created, always worrying what other people think and interfering with your voice. Start practicing focusing on what inspires you,...

Stop thinking about “which words you will block on”. It can be any in some circumstance and it could be none in some circumstances. Your block trigger is “having to talk and probably blocking at so...

I noticed the same thing and I wonder if it's related to the multitasking process of our brains (maybe for some of us?), because when you talk normally, you would be thinking while talking, but when r...

I started in the bottom group at the start of high school. Didn’t really have close friends but I was social. I made friends as i got older and by the end, I was in the middle group. Everyone knew eac...
