Tips to reduce anxiety: * set a new condition: **From now on I'll only reinforce automatic natural speech** \- to stop control, and **reinforce easy speech** \- to stop complex behavior and pushing *...

Practice doesn’t make perfect for me. I had a presentation that I practiced using speech techniques that I was told to by my speech pathologist. However, when I presented I got blocks again and skipped a whole two paragraphs in my presentation. Advice to not go into fight or flight mode?

In all seriousness this phrase, as it relates to the majority of the fluent population, makes sense. You say that it is used in a way that implies disfluency = unintelligent, but I think it has more ...

When I go to start speaking, I sometimes hold my breath involuntarily. I've nearly passed out from it in the past, usually when in groups and I really want to get my words out. On the other side, I so...

Tried but it’s hard to do it in the moment. If you’re alone you can do it but in a conversation with others it’s hard to remember to consciously speak slowly especially in heated moments....

I know it sounds dumb but lately I have been trying to not focus on the words I’m going to say in a sentence. I feel like in my mind, if I focus too much on an upcoming word, that word usually is the ...

I have an additional theory about those terrible tempers. Angry taking uses a physical force that maybe overrides the diaphragm/vocal chord tension. I also believe that this tension comes directly f...

Trauma can cause stutter. If you carry genes from somebody that stutters, it can trigger them and cause you to stutter. That is what happened to me, anyways. My father stuttered when he was a kid, bu...

C-PTSD and Stuttering

C-PTSD and Stuttering Hey All! First time poster - I'm 24F who has stuttered all my life, regardless of how stressful the conversation is or who I'm talking with. My dad also has had a stutter his who...

I'm taking the 10m and then I can build up my life comfortably without too much stress. My stuttering gets triggered by stress (and tiredness). It can be frustrating sometimes to stutter, but 95% of t...

After i get myself to do the call im procrastinating for like 4 weeks i always feel this huge dopamine rush and want to call every fucking human on earth but for real now its so reliefing all the anxi...

I think what he means is that you should not react to your speach or your stutter, but you should react to the world around you. This also means not overthinking. Make the sounds come out of your mout...

I see. My stutter very, very heavily relies on how I'm feeling. Generally high doses of emotions tend to make me stutter more. Like being nervous when meeting new people or presenting work, feeling sa...

Just try exhaling instead of forcing it out. I know it seems counterintuitive, but it’s not hard to experiment with, and there’s lung-science behind it....

Ah yeah it's the opposite for me. But also when I get really stuck and try to force it out.. I seem to stop breathing so I'd get winded then just make it worse. So stopping to collect myself has work ...

For reference, I got pretty fluent in a month by NOT taking deep breaths, bc fluent people talk on exhales, and unless you are calm and skilled enough, your deep breath is most likely to be a chest br...

I can do many days without stuttering sometimes..sometimes I do it many times a day. For me at this point it's a matter of my mental state. Relaxed a calm ,everything is fine. Excited and or worked up...

That’s exactly why I’m trying to figure out if maybe stuttering and yips are related! It’s like talking, a lot of us who stutter talk better when we are alone than when we talk to others. It’s exactly...

When I stutter sometimes I force myself so much that my chest starts to hurt. Because I’m putting so much pressure on myself just to get words out. Maybe your tinnitus could be something similar?? Do ...

My thought process is maybe that same anxiety that causes stutter also affects different aspects not just speech. Like the yips for example. I kept reading online that it’s believed that yips happen b...
