Older thread, but I ended up with tremors and stuttering after my 2nd covid infection. I was on klonopin, which didn't help at all. I had been taking it for anxiety. I still take it, but not as often....

The only people I know who take short sharp inhales before speaking are having literal panic attacks, or in the middle of a cardio workout. If it is actually truly working for you, I’m sincerely not ...

Hey Super, Here’s what’s always worked for me! When my stutter was at its worst, I would volunteer to go first! Sound ridiculous, right? Here was my logic: I’d rather go first so I wasn’t thinkin...

Pre-pre-pre-vent the blocks even more by doing a fun disclosure using this theme! And then, try *talking on exhales*. inhales are likely to be shallow, which directly increase the fear. Anyways, i...

Stuttering has to do with message you’re trying to send and who the recipient is. The more attached the message is to your core the more indifferent it will be if you end stuttering or not. Being in p...

Edit - you should read my comment again and see you completely missed the point! Pretty much every sentence suggested that repetitions are normal/fine, and blocks are the real problem. I have tips...

Yes whenever I do poster conferences, where I have to speak for about 2 hours straight, I always feel light headed and dizzy at the end. Now I’ve learned to walk around and see other posters so I don...

Thanks. I guess it concerns me mainly because even after I stop talking the feeling of my head swimming AND brain fog (where I have trouble thinking and processing info) can persist for a while after....

Yes! Like you said it's from straining and blocking, when I get stuck I hold my breath - it's like my mouth and lungs go on a brief lock down and get light-headed when I can breathe again. I don't thi...

I feel you so much with that excited feeling and face/neck getting stiff. I also wanna explain everything really fast. The story is just too funny/interesting sometimes lmao.. Makes me happy to se...

I am in the same boots like you sometimes. I figured out i get excited and my face, neck get stiff and want to explain stuffs very quickly so i try to relax my face, neck, shoulder and start my speech...

I’m a preschool teacher and it’s very common for children to have repetitions, especially on “I”. Making a big deal about it IS how it turns into an emotionally disabling dysfluency. Encourage h...

"there is a problem" \- tongue doesn't have a problem, yes indeed, we are able to 'choose' to move our tongue when we speak \- what is holding us back is 'forcing/trying/controlling'. So, always hav...
