I think your absolutely right, but I might disagree with the "effortless" part. I try to meditate daily and it definitely takes effort to wake up 30 minutes earlier each day to make the time. Likewise...

And the stuttering just dies

And the stuttering just dies I didn't intend to go all out like this so soon in my journey, but I felt it was maybe time to address this mental itch. A cornerstone of letting oneself go and living mom...

Learning to think like a fluent speaker has made it all better

Learning to think like a fluent speaker has made it all better As stutterers, we're almost always in the habit of thinking about the words we're going to say, often anticipating that we might stutter....

I think you are aiming a lot for perfection which subconsciously puts you under a lot of pressure to feel forced that you need to be smooth and consistent in verbal communication. People can have flaw...

You summed it up perfectly. I do exercises daily, such as: reading out loud various texts, speaking to myself in the mirror, trying variations of speaking faster/slower, breathing exercises. These ar...

By the time I was in my twenties, I had coped with that social anxiety and fear. I wouldn't say that I coped with it well. When I was very young I was a very nice kid. Stuttering did a number on me ...

Not sure if this is true but it makes enough sense to me: If you can speak fluently by yourself or to pets or something then the problem is entirely psychological. If it’s entirely psychological the...

Hey! My personal opinion.. that way of dealing with your speech doesn't resonate with me as you are putting a hyperfocus on your stutter which in turn often makes you value yourself based on the sever...

Agreed! I’ve been in a speech program for a while and every time I stutter is a time to write down what happened, how I stuttered (block or small incident) and what I could have done/can do to prevent...

I find it hard to say words that you specifically plan to say. To combat this add unnecessary prefixes such as “ummm”, “yeah sure my name is...”, “okay...” The more you do not think of what will you s...

I’ve had the exact same thing when I was younger (17) now but I find in order for me not to stutter I have to keep my voice on and literally picture the sentence in my head before I say it...

It sounds to me like you never went to speech therapy? That would be a very good start. For me slowing down and make talking a conscious act helps a lot. We usually talk without paying any attentio...

The thing I hate the most about stuttering is how mentally exhausting it is

The thing I hate the most about stuttering is how mentally exhausting it is I don't know if this is just me but it feels like almost every time I speak, I need to use a lot of mental energy. Like the...

I suggest saving that video to watch for future use. I cringe when I watch vids of myself and even move while presenting. But I say start recording yourself, then record convos with someone, then watc...

Honeslty I used to try preparing so say something but you do that and your bound to stutter it up, the trick for me was to just not think about it at all, to just try not to give yourself any time to ...

Mind over matter, I’m stuck in the exact same shoes as you brother but I feel when I’m harsh on myself or I talk negatively against myself this only worsens the stutter, you need to develop a little a...

I have blocks. My SO says it seems like I think too fast for my words, he think it’s cute apparently...
