If that trick stops helping, don’t feel hopeless, bc that is common with tricks that do not get to the root. The root is that trying to hide your stutter causes bigger blocks! Try adding a voluntary...

Both links/people are SLPs who specialize in dysfluency AND are stutterers who taught themselves *and many clients* to gain control of their speech, and speak very smoothly and pleasantly. (Some tech...

I agree, speaking slowly really helps a lot. From my experience, speaking slowly can make your fluency 50% better. I usually stutter when I am asking a question. So there’s this trick that I use when...

Thank you for your response. This was explained very well; I learned something new and important to my stutter (valsalva maneuver). ​ Assuming that the links are on the subreddit, I will ...

I see, you mentioned it's happening outside of work too. The eyes flickering and body spasms sounds like it's affecting you quite a bit. I unfortunately can't think of what might be causing it. Did yo...

Ahhhh… The freeze contortions… I know thee well… There is a visible “freeze” that happens when we are blocked - I reviewed it in myself with the speech pathologists at my university when I gave them a...

True… but you don’t need to fully convince your brain to stop caring for these to techniques probably work. If slowing/calming down is already hard for you, it will still be difficult. You can als...

Yes i was taught breathing as well. It's one of the things that stuck. I tell my son this because sometimes he has a stutter. Therapy is such a safe place with the right person. I haven't had speech ...

Some people in this sub will just suggest you stop caring. I will not, because I'm well aware that it an unattainable goal for some. There are TANGIBLE actions you can take that are workarounds. In...

In therapy I learnt breathing through stomach method and it did work for some time. Start by breathing through your stomach don’t talk just breath through your stomach until you get used to it. Next s...

Hey, I stuttered most of my life. I have dealt with mental health issues most of my life as well. I’ve been on so many different psych drugs I could always tell the difference in my speech getting b...

Yea forsure i will try that too next time and also i think that there is not a single way to tackle stutter, I think a person has to be more flexible in trying different techniques to see which one fi...

The truth is, that the avoiding behavior and having a goal of being a covert stutterer IS actually what makes your stutter worse. I had 2 job interviews this week. First one, I said nothing about my...

Well you dont have to limit your expressions and you can say whatever you want for eg; if a person says " can i get a burger and a coke" and he start to stutter at the letter 'B' of burger so instead ...

I strongly suggest to *stop* thinking about your articulators. If they can sometimes move correctly, then they are not the problem and focusing on them will *make them not move*. Deep breathing (whi...

I've had exactly the same experience, but it got better for me over time. Maybe try to get friends or family to call you unannounced every now and then? I'd also consider visiting small stores during ...

Feels like you partially answered your own question. Not overthinking could get easier with experience. Maybe some easy interactions like an unplanned phone call or ordering in a cafe or bakery to get...

Here is my attempt to only write the necessary words from the last paragraph: I've tried diaphragmatic breathing in order to move my articulators. This was not effective because I kept my reason....

Slowing down and being conscious about how fast I'm speaking helps, especially in the moment when something is struggling to get out. Also not over-thinking it is another thing...

Personally I didn’t become a mouth breather, but I focused on my breathing a lot more. I didn’t noticed how shallow my breath was before I started practicing their techniques. It’s been years since I’...
