I stutter when reading the worst! Unless I kind of unfocus my eyes and pretend I'm reading gibberish just saying the letters without knowing the meaning, then I'm usually okay. I also stutter when a...

I have success with not letting my mouth/face/neck get tense during the sound. Let the ST be softer than your mind is trying to make it. Also, on bad days I may think of the “d” sound instead of the...
