I have the same issue! It totally sucks. I’m in a job where I have to “cold-open” saying peoples names to call them from the waiting room (ugh). Here are some tricks I refer to! - start by humming be...

The “treatment” is to regularly start interactions by *telling people you have difficulty getting words out* Make regular eye contact. Start. Talking. Slowly. And. Enunciate. Every. Syllable. If ...

I quit my job and was practically mute for 2 years. During that time, my heat/hot water broke in winter in New England, and I refused to call to address it for 3 days. I got a new job last week and...

Received two job offers even though I felt I sounded dumb

Received two job offers even though I felt I sounded dumb So, just as the title says, I received two job offers in a field I really want to work in and am very proud of myself and also slightly confus...

That sounds similar to a technique called easy onset. That is when you use a sound to kickstart another sound. There's a video on this website [here](https://www.stutteringtherapyonline.com/easy-onset...

I do the whole rearranging thing but sometimes I end up saying a mangled sentence so just start over again 😂 I’ve started saying ‘there we go’ a ton. It’s one of them phrases that you have a phase w...

I find that walking and pacing really helps. Rearranging my sentences if I come up on a block. If you give them a disclaimer on your speech, that’s totally cool; especially if you’re cool about it you...

Breathing is so important. Try changing the cadence of your speech, speak Slow. Rhythmic. If you have blocks, try re-arranging your sentences. I have phrases that help me kick start sentences like; hi...

There are two schools of thought on stuttering and what will work for you depends on how you think about fluency. The first type is accepting that stuttering will happen and just relaxing and letting ...

Speech therapy with an SLP who specializes in stuttering. A systemic approach to fluency. No tips or tricks. In my experience, therapy that approaches fluency with tips or tricks isn't effective. ...

Thank you. But I'm speaking from experience. I did the work and achieved fluency. I was fortunate to find therapy that was able to help me improve my fluency. I was fairly severe. * Never a fluent ...

>It's not something you just "work on and fix". Disagree. It's incredibly hard to work on and improve your fluency, but it's possible. Many of us have experience with ineffective speech therapy ...

I think cognitive behavioral therapy would be more effective in that regard. Speech therapists are meant to help people mitigate their stuttering with techniques( e.g, prolongation, breathing exercise...

I've been in a similar situation for years now, but about two months ago I started some pretty intensive (four 45-minutes sessions a week) speech therapy and its actually been helping. For me, if I'm ...

I’m 31 and stutter, at this age the reality of the situation is the stutter will more than likely never go away. I’ve kind of just embraced that. I’m not sad about it either. I really just try not to ...

My speech therapy was based in talking in a rhythm, because most stutterers do not stutter while singing...

No. No one stutters when they sing. It also uses a different part of the brain. You're not unlearning bad speech habits and replacing them with good ones. No evidence singing helps with stuttering. Yo...

Absolutely. Also ”willingly” speaking with a dialect has helped me tremendously, which I suppose is rather strongly linked with singing (the act itself, that is)....

I really think it does. It’s been my goal to learn songs word for word and it’s been helping me not stuttering...

If it is.. then I am sorry you may need to find a speech therapy to let therapist teach you techniques... and yeah that will necessarily lose the spontaneity of your speech so that it will make your ...
