My gateway book of his was Notes from Underground. Obviously Crime and Punishment, the Idiot, Brothers K, etc. But some of my favorite stuff are his short stories, White Nights and Dream of a Ridiculo...

Augmented reality glasses for giving presentations.

Augmented reality glasses for giving presentations. So as we know that our stutter greatly improves while reading, sometimes it works if you visualise the words in front of you in your imagination. Bu...

The trick I use is when the phone rings I take a deep breath, let it out slowly then answer the phone. Most of the time I can say hello without feeling like my throat is closing....

Just try it right now. Breathe out and say “ahhhh”. It’s more about doing normal sized exhale and then starting to talk. The point is some ppl are taught to take a deep breath, which probably makes...

I read somewhere that when u stutter, u tend to stop moving ur mouth and tongue completely. So if ur stuttering, try to remember to keep moving ur tongue or mouth no matter what. That might sound weir...

I know this may sound like a stupid question but how do you talk with an exhale? Can you explain that a little bit?...

Damn, I know the pain exactly! Feeling like it's all mechanical, and you're doing 100% of the work manually (airflow control, vocal cord control etc.) But with repetition and regular practice, your ...

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 ...

Amen to that wish <3 It's wonderful to hear your experience on dealing with stuttering. I'm sorry that the speech therapists couldn't help you enough. You know, you can always look for a new one i...

I used to be have serious blocks as a kid and, as you know, things were not easy. Later in my teenage years, I learned I didn't have to speak. No matter what, I could always be silent. No matter how ...

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Yes, I am now in a way better place! You're exactly right. The environment matters a lot for us when we are still learning to adopt the new speaking mechanism. I d...

I listened to a podcast by a SLP who is aPWS who specializes in dysfluency. Your timeframe will vary, so just start listening at beginning of the podcast (not YouTube), repeat episodes and do the wor...

Whoa. This is great to hear. I found another thing that helps. When I stutter, I bend my neck downward so my chin would be close to my chest. My throat just automatically opens. I stop and repeat the...

I don’t use the word “cure” bc I still have occasional repetitions, and occasional blocks. But I have the tools to quickly move onto my next sound. I go out of my way to make small talk, easily give...

I had a similar situation. I was in speech therapy once a week from kindergarten through high school. My speech therapy was only focused on tools to help me get through tough sentences, like easy-on-s...

In person is the way to go. And then making in person contacts to the overkill stage. It will be arduous at first, but it's worth it. Desensitization therapy works. It's CBT, and that has a good track...

The kid was receiving intensive therapy 4x/week, so it was beyond “being a brat”. I got instantly super fluent and said “I know you wouldn’t say that to another kid”. I basically just did the oppos...

When I was blocking very badly, I’d stare at the floor, slap my legs and stop in the middle of sentences! It was bizarre for listeners. Using a sing-song voice, or *starting with one*, actually hel...
