Yeah I found that at the start of class I would stutter a bit and just had to power through. Once I hit the flow and was feeling good the stutter would usually stop. Preparation was key for me along w...

Really?! So, are you able to speak in front of 39 young Chinese first graders with ease? Even with a stutter? Bro, that’s good. What would be the first step for that you’d say?...

I did. Stuttering doesn’t have to define you. Plus I found that on stuff I prep for and prepare for I don’t stutter as badly...

You do not have to compromise at all. Never let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Have you considered trying any treatment options out?...

Don't let that stop you. I stutter - blocks mostly - and work for an international airline in a communications role, of all things. You can find strategies to be successful....

Hi, I’m Sue. I recovered from my stuttering at age 70! Mine was the result of unresolved anger and resentment from childhood abuse. Through psychotherapy I became fully fluent. I discovered Dr. McGu...

Oh, I forgot to post that YouTube video of Dr McGuire’s video where his breath technique enabled the severest of stutterers to speak in 4 days. https://youtu.be/bNkOeIBKZNs Regards, Sue...

Light contact is another stuttering technique. It consists in saying a "blocked" sound (usually the first sound/syllable of a blocked word) using the minimum force possible. The minimum power/pressure...

Begin by disclosing, make eye contact, and speak on an EXHALE. Also, practice voluntary repetitions as often as possible....

I believe that most of us won't "outgrow" our stutter ever, but that doesn't mean that we can't experience it diminishing over time. I think your suggestions are good, however for many people it's n...

Manicfoot. I recovered from my stuttering at age 70 and I’m a female. Mine was resolved through psychotherapy to come to terms with an abusive childhood. At various times during my life I tried both ...

>Something I (as a person with a mild stutter with solely blocks/pauses) have used quite succesfully is 'soft contacts' (1), making sure breaths are not shallow (2) and when I block, just immediatl...

Begin speaking on a normal exhale, and make eye contact. Disclose and practice voluntary repetitions as much as possible . If your articulators work normally when talking to yourself, they aren’t th...

Fluency shaping and/or block modification techniques

Fluency shaping and/or block modification techniques Hi I've noticed that in this subreddit, traditional SLP techniques are barely mentioned or discussed. Might be useful for fellow PWS to share your...

Almost no one can use “take a deep breath” in a moment of fear effectively. The scientifically sound practice is to start talking on a regular exhale and let your lungs modulate air pressure as you t...

If we can choose to move our leg muscles (when walking). Can we choose to move our speech muscles (when speaking), if we are in fight and flight mode? How do we outgrow stuttering as an adult, in my opinion?

I’m new to this sub and am very glad I found it, but something I’ve always done that helps me with whenever my stutter is bad is singing. I’ve always loved singing because it’s the only time I can eve...

What are these studies? Are they saying to do the diaphragmatic breathing while trying to talk? What do they say about the fact that talking happens seamlessly on a regular exhale? If you allow the...

Costal breathing (I did McGuire at 14) and exposure. Once I learned costal breathing method and viewed my stutter as a breath/block anxiety thing vs a mechanical impediment, I started doing school pub...

Have a sense of humor , if you stutter ok. Stop talking take a deep breath exhale and you will be more fluent. If you get upset you will never be fluent. Most people you meet them once so what th...
