Makes sense, we flood our mind with our past failures, we recall time when we Stuttered on a word we are going to say next and we block on that word, and we block on a word we get more nervous and try...

Make a list of some bullet points for each “slide” of your presentation. Don’t make a script to read from word for word, I find a script makes me stammer more. Then talk around each of the bullet po...

As a stutter myself, I tend to have to put way more inner thought when I’m stuck in a bad stretch of influency. It blocks my ability to alter my tone and make appropriate facial expressions naturally,...

For me, I stutter because my brain doesn't stop thinking after I've decided what my statement's gonna be. If I realize halfway through I'm about to say something stupid (which is always), I have to ad...

1) Yes we 100% know when we're stuttering. In fact most of us know when we start a sentence which word we are going to stutter on. If your friend looks like she's having a seizure, it's because she's ...

You are looking at the path I went on. It's unconventional but the experts have proven to us that conventional doesn't work with stuttering. The "experts" are guessing, they know only from observation...
