If there was a block equivalent then yeah i guess...

Blocks are something newer for me and that can make it hard because you aren't used to a life where you can't speak. It's like something is being taken away from you. I'm sorry, and all I can say is a...

Story of my life. I had a severe block and I was asked if I was having a stroke...

Nope, for me it's more blockages and less repetitions. And I stutter a lot at the beginning of a sentence, especially the B or D. \- Send us another audio when you've been through this bad time. Tha...

The worst is when I’m trying to order food at a restaurant or talking to some kind of service person. My friends and family and coworkers all know I stutter so they just wait patiently till I get it o...

I completely understand. I have a lot of trouble with blocks, especially when answering the phone. Whenever the phone rings at my job I literally get so scared my hands shake when I pick it up. Same w...

I have a question, when you speech block, do you feel the urge in your chest like a tightness in your chest making you not be able to say the word? If so, try to exhale through your nose and say that ...

Actively stopping myself when it happens and releasing words on exhales. It has also helped having people hold me accountable so that I don’t try to just push through the block and facial/head movemen...

Just yesterday when a friend who knows I stutter decided to call me anyway, even though we were texting fine, and I couldn’t answer the first question she asked when I tried, and started blocking...I ...

Here’s my experience: I’ve had 15 job interviews in the last 12 months (Full time Resident Firefighter/EMT trying to make the transition to full time union FF). Very competitive industry, I stutter, ...

Hahaha!!! I primarily block, and I do the "hmm it was on the tip of my tongue" stuff all the time....

My name also, which is so frustrating. But for whatever reason my birth year, which I have to give at the Pharmacy when getting prescriptions, I have to stop and say um a lot until the block is over, ...
