No, I just make sure my reality aligns with the current version that is going on in the world we presently live in. So there’s no confusion doing that even if my belief system has to change as it ha...

Im not sure what would be entitled about that, unless you feel obligated to use those techniques, which youre not. It remains your own choice. But being entitled requires some sort of beneficial elem...

Using crutches (like not thinking about my words but my idea & passion, word linkeage, extreme pronunciation etc.) and mind training (affirmations & visualisation)....

Yeah mate me too, there are also moments when they see you as useless or as if sick, is exhausted....

I didn't necessarily have a panic attack but with any severe stuttering customer interaction (at work for example) I would cringe at myself afterward. It definitely still takes effort to not overthink...

Definitely. My therapist describes it as cognitive load. If you're having to think about what to say, that's distracting you from thinking about controlling your stutter....

In my experience it is the fact that one must need to stop thinking to speak fluently and it is when you’re thinking and trying to speak that we block because the brain can’t do 2 things at the same t...

Accept it, don't fight it. Find what triggers it through observation. Keep a journal and write down the patterns. Study the patterns and understand that you are making it. Don't be impatient, it ...

I think you just nailed it. You’re focusing on it more so it seems as though it’s getting worse. You thinking about it is what’s making it happen again. I always said that if I expect to stutter, I’m ...

Try and don't overthink it too much. Just say what you want to say, don't pay attention to how you will have to say it. Fluency comes from speaking naturally, not by forcing some words and blocking so...

It's a complex topic, but after years of studying books and articles on stuttering and other psychological disorders, this is what I have come to learn. You must realize the following. What is speech...

Alexa and Siri are on a timer. Don’t speak soon enough and they’ll go off. Perhaps that’s enough subconscious pressure to create the stutter as usual....

But what fear of judgement arises when we are speaking to the tech like Alexa, Siri etc. There should be no fear of judgement to speak to a voice assistant? Or is it that our brain can't distinguish ...

I know the struggle... i know also the struggle of imagining what to say and how the conversation might eventually go but at the time when the first "Hi" is said my mind goes totally blank and after i...
