I have the same phenomenon. Earlier thoughts on this is that my mind and speech are out of sync. This was further supported when I started doing meditation or taichi. My mind slows down enough for it ...

I guess that was my question about YouTube. I was actually overwhelmed by how much content there was and didn’t know where to begin....

I've 100% been in your shoes. I know exactly how disappointed and scared you feel because I have gone through the exact same thing. One time I worked really hard to get an interview - kept dropping of...

Out of curiosity, what’s your native language? I think it’s probably more common with some languages than others, just because of sounds and how words are constructed. I barely stuttered when I was le...

The best thing you can do is to treat this as a learning experience, sort of like a stepping stone where you're building and improving your speech based on good and bad experiences. Here are the thin...

Exactly, my chest hurt a lot too when I was trying to speak in my seminar. I've been trying a few things such as reading to myself and talking to family members which has improved my reading infront o...

I would agree with the negative impacts of switching words for sure. My mind is always racing with random words while talking that it's hard to get an actual reasonable thought out. Respect to your po...

Yup, I think you’re right. I’ve been doing some thinking about this and like you said, it has to do more with a lack of awareness....

What helped me last year was being able just to talk to more people and participate as much as I could whenever there was an opportunity. Of course, this was more effective pre-pandemic, but it still ...

Hi, I want to thank both of you for doing this and giving us an explanation for our difference in speech. I've noticed a correlation between an adequate night of sleep, around 8+, and less constant ...

Regarding speaking more easily/fluently when alone, that's a great question and it's long been known to be the experience of many people who stutter, though it's certainly not universal. One of my fri...

>Thanks for your questions! You were the first one to post ;-). And, it's a great set of questions. I'll offer a few thoughts, and Seth will chime in as well. > >First, regarding neuropla...

On days it’s really bad my mom will continually remind me to slow down because she is convinced my brain is just working faster than my mouth and my mouth gets stuck. I’ve tried to explain I’m not a m...

I'm having a very hard time applying techniques because entering a conversation gets my brain into panic mode. If it's a complicated topic I can't even keep my thoughts straight and sometimes forget w...

Hi, Being a stutterer as long as I remember myself, I recently went to see a Optometrist, specializing in visual therapy. He is a curious guy interested in many medical and psychological areas. He a...

It's definitely a commitment that takes time and I feel like its one of those things where it works for some people and not for others. The last time I did speech therapy was when I was around 10 year...

Hi! Thanks for the AMA. I am 38yo. None of the specialist that took care of my problem made any difference or helped at all (I didn't see any for 10 years now). I finally managed to work my own solu...

Is anyone else’s family critical or judgmental of them having a stutter? (Family/career related vent)

Is anyone else’s family critical or judgmental of them having a stutter? (Family/career related vent) This is a bit of a long vent, thanks for reading this if you do! I’ve had a stutter since I was l...
