Currently fighting the “S, St, Str” demons. The SLP advice is to change tone (higher) and speed (slower). Also pre-prime your vocal folds with a relaxing, breathy, easy onset “ahhhhh” sound for the fi...

May sound silly, but before you say the word, take a short pause, breathe, and say it slowly? It seems stupid to suggest, but it helps me a lot, but it only helps me in work. Outside of work, I can't...

If this is too much, do brief voluntary repetitions to yourself in the mirror. Work up to a phone call to a store, and then more. Make sure to make eye contact and begin speaking on *exhales*....

Most people worked hard on it mindlessly hoping somehow they can beat it. I done that too bunch of times and always failed.. there was a point where I had accepted it. Once I found this book I worked...

My strategy, which comes directly from SLPs who also used to have disabling stutters, reduced my blocking and avoidances about 95% and I sometimes completely forget that I’m a PWS. There are the ...

My stuttering has improved a lot from my High School days. Back then, it was a high deal if I stuttered, and that added pressure to not stutter was counterproductive. Now I don't give an F. If I fa...

Reading aloud for at least an hour everyday helps a lot also. If you want/need more tips feel free the message me. I’ll be glad to help...

I didn’t have good therapy either. I just had access to a really good book about stuttering and worked really hard on my speech...

Check out my recent comments and links! There’s tons of research and free ideas on how to become much more comfortable and fluent...

If you block the moment a person starts listening, then it’s entirely in your mind. It is still real and very impactful and very addressable. There’s no reason to read Scientology adjacent books to...

I myself had speech therapy throughout elementary- high school and speech therapy never helped. Ive beat my stutter a year ago. I’ve been suggesting the book that has helped me and can literally help ...

Have had five speech therapists. Did better while in therapy, but I think that was because I was radically modifying my speech mechanics and tone. Learned a lot about how to reframe stuttering as so...

I did everything his book says...reading aloud daily and affirmations---no improvement!!!! And the "crutches" he reccomends are only usefull if one knows what they will stutter on before it happens....

I used the knowledge I’m giving out to eliminate my stutter 95% over a year ago. Honestly, I get more fluent and comfortable every passing week/month. The only thing I rely on is my small set of ski...

This is a presentation given to NSA in 2019 by a SLP/PWS, and it’s about how phonation (the opposite of whispering) gets impacted in a PWS. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AyeJ5t22mUE...

Right, that's definitely true! I don't think someone /has/ to have a speech therapist (Although it does help greatly for many, I think) but moreso just someone neutral to help you with practising flue...

If you have the money to private pay for a *SLP who specializes in dysfluency*, then definitely do that. But if you don’t, then a motivated person can consume info (articles, podcasts, etc) from legi...

There are definitely habits and exercises that can help talk more fluently, but even for that I personally think it's best done with the help of a speech therapist or similar, because if you try pract...

It’s very doubtful that any medication will do anything permanently. This is ok bc those meds have some very troubling side effects. However, there are free and safe “cheat codes” that will permanen...
