I don't want to jinx it but this works wonders for me

I don't want to jinx it but this works wonders for me I know we've all had people tell us to "slow down and take your time" but it truly does work wonders, in my case at least. I've been struggling i...

found the issue Hello, I know why I stutter in tense situations. When I'm stressed I actually reverse breath and that causes me to feel tension I'm my throat and chest. I now try to breath properly in...

Could you please clarify what you mean? I’ve never heard of purposeful prolongation being a tool to stop caring about other peoples problem....
