Hey man. Very sorry to hear that your uncle has had a stroke. I´m not sure what you mean when you say a phone call that resulted in shouting can cause it. I def agree that stammering can be caused by ...

I've heard of psychogenic stuttering, but I wasn't sure what it was. I had an argument with my guardian that left me stressed, and then three days later (it came on gradually), I started to stutter. F...

This is my naive take on it. A lot of stuttering could be overcome if we breathe before each word. Because every syllable has a breathing initiation and completion. If one is doing that correctly, y...

Actually, this is me too. I think because once I relax, my speech speeds up and I think more about WHAT I'm saying as opposed to HOW I'm saying it....

YES x 100! Even if I don't stutter the first time I say something, if I'm asked to repeat myself, particularly by someone who seems stern or rude, I WILL stutter when saying it again. Whenever I'm ex...

I've experienced this more and more. Has anyone had their heart checked. I have a mitral valve prolapse that causes anxiety, which, in turn, makes my stutter worse. Recently, I've started getting w...

why you tf keep on stretching it ???? its not about confidence and comfort zone, (u sound like those people who say stress causes stuttering)...

I'm not exactly sure if that's the case for me. I mean, it can be true, but I can stutter like a motherfucker around friends I'm comfortable with. I think that there are many more factors like general...

Yes I wholeheartedly agree with this comment. It is not that my speech blocks are completely eliminated when I speak, in my mind they do not long as last or their power over me less. And the reverse...

Well I think daydreaming (non-fear related) plus a mix of fear in social situations could potentially cause blocks more than just fear alone. Because in both situations, the PWS is disengaged from t...

Disassociation (separate from daydreaming, spacing out) is definitely a function of fear. As you said, if you can phonate/talk (hum or comment to yourself) when deep in thought, but it shuts down t...

I have been doing various fluency shaping exercises e.g.pausing, speaking slow , light contacts , flexible rate etc Also meditating every day without fail and facing my anxiety every day ! I try to ...

I’ve seen some videos of William Perry before👍. I would say you’re partially correct that I may always be at least slightly running a script of fear of speaking. But I really think that being deep...

I am so sorry you had to go through that :( speech techniques often don't work when one is under excruciating stress. For me, they have never worked in any circumstances. I hope you are in a more supp...

I will not say i have cured it but in the last 2 years i have drastically decreased my stuttering and people around me have also noticed it just the anxiety part is left to deal with which will elimin...

I’d say that yourbrain *has* kicked into gear, but is only running the script for “fear of ppl hearing you talk weird”. The muscles for talking are always ready to go. The only time they’re not is wh...

Thank you for this post. I’m 24 and I married the hottie in my class. Every single one of my friends wanted to date her. I have always stutters and as my for many people here it comes and goes depen...

I understand thank you, some of these obstacles can at times feel insurmountable. There are days certain situations feel absolutely impossible. In those situations I feel that fight or flight response...

Lol. This is exactly my entire childhood. However, I’m an adult now and can handle myself & others under pressure....

Experience from a 40 year old…

Experience from a 40 year old… Long post here… I’m 40. My stutter generally comes with certain word blocks. Most people don’t know that I have a stutter since I’ve learned to mask it well over the y...
