I definitely think I’m inadvertently making it worse by having noticed it. It’s been progressively getting worse over the e last couple of weeks. I’m seeing a therapist so I’m hoping that once I deal ...

I couldn't agree more, Sir. I’m 18 and have been encapsulated in this physical cage since I was 7. Self-talk (talking to yourself), thinking out loud, speaking in front of the mirror (alone) are some...

100%. The more thought you give it, the more energy you feed it. And most likely your thoughts about it aren't the greatest so you just add more fear onto it. Its kind of like "don't think of a pi...

Yep. Even I was astonished when I read about this in that book. That book has some really great insights. Some work for you some don't. The "rewriting stutter memories" is working for me. Also, the le...

It could be a possibility! Whenever I think about my stutter and rehearse my words it tends to make me stutter when speaking. Just go with the flow and chill! Or maybe when you rehearse it doesn’t mak...

Yeah same here. I used to focus mainly on tricks but now I've realized they only set me back further and further away each time. Most likely you are pretty fluent, if not perfectly fluent when you a...
