This is a core technique in the McGuire stuttering program (and many others). My problem with it is I cannot rely on it. If I’m blocking it’s because I’m completely caught off guard, and catching yo...

I’ve had a stutter for as long as I remember. My parents never did anything about it. TBH I feel like now that I’m 23 it’s only gotten worse. Something I wish my parents would have done is given me a ...

This is a neverending struggle in my life. I freeze up on my last name. I can't even count how many times I haven’t been able to say it at all, and people would confusedly ask, 'Haha, did you forget y...

Just a few tips that helped me 1. Make sure you have a full breath before starting your sentence 2. Try to speak in a rhythm almost like a song (most of us don’t stutter when we sing so this really m...

Try to do the “hello my name is…” but jam your name onto the end so it sounds like my name isJack or whatever it is. What I do is just don’t say the first syllable of my name and people usually don’t ...

I stuttered very early in life, and I think to deal with how debilitating it was, I just stopped talking. I'd rather be thought an idiot than be made fun of for stuttering or see the frustration in th...

You could try spelling your name out loud and then say it "My name is - - - - (full name)." Might work better....

Thanks for the reply. I sometimes try that but not always works. I try to say "hello, my name is ..." but it is hit or miss when I reach the point where I say the actual name. I may try to just speak ...
