Sure, I'm just pointing it out. Conceptual analysis is always warranted, when it comes to trying to understand things. :)...

It's probably worth mentioning that "subconscious" is one of those notions that people have very different ideas about. Basically, it's not in use in any solid scientific sense. Additionally, such a ...

Happens to me almost every time. This has been my analysis! When we get stuck sometimes it’s because we subconsciously put value on certain words we say, which translates to pressure to say them corr...

I actually run a biz that does phone systems for other businesses.. As such I'm on the phone all day. It's not uncommon for me to hit 100-150 phone calls per day. It's like everything else in you lif...

Honestly, I'm constantly shit thinking. And I would try anything to stop. Meditation didn't seem to work, but I was my happiest when volunteering at animal shelters. I want to go back to that state of...

My 2 cents: I am 49 years old, a United States Air Force Veteran, I have a master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, married with 1 son AND I am a national trainer. My stutter started ...

That makes sense! I guess it's all about getting over the idea that someone is waiting for you to say something :)...

I did for the first 10-ish times, then it got better to the point I don’t even think about it. The same thing was when using Siri....

English isn't my first language though :( I always have to think what Im going to say and how I am going to say it, while remaining perpetually cognizant about words that are difficult on my tongue. U...

One thing I can highly recommend is to think about anything else apart from the way you speak. Trust me, it has helped me loads of time to get through something perfectly smooth. Speech is meant to be...

Hi, I’m 15 and am also waiting for the day my stutter disappears too. When it comes the names all I can say is that middle schoolers are probably the meanest type of people in general so by 14 mean gi...

I have never done volunteer work but that sounds like a great idea. I love pets and will probably look into volunteering at an animal shelter. I agree I am too much in my own head. Judging by my wordi...

Never chase after fluency, chase after control and efficiency. I used to be that way and chase the fluency god, not worth the time or hassle. Just focus on what they teach you in therapy and go from t...

I 100% agree that the mind body connection is important (this can be achieved through meditation amongst other things) but due to the varying nature of stuttering I don't think there's one size that...

I don’t think it’s helpful to think that stuttering has nothing to do with the mind. It certainly is not a problem of *intelligence*, if that’s what you mean by mental; but the mind-body connection is...

The earliest I remember stuttering was 7th grade, which is more than a decade ago. I was reading a passage from a book kind of quickly then started to stutter and a classmate gently told me to slow do...

I really can't figure out about how I get out of my head. If I'm not thinking about stuttering, I won't stutter at all but my mind goes there Everytime I speak to someone....

We should probably note that we don't know how precisely stutter _works_, so that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about models of (self-)understanding. If we think of ourselves in a ce...

How can I stop my stuttering caused by THINKING about stuttering?

How can I stop my stuttering caused by THINKING about stuttering? Dear people, I really need your advice. My story is a bit weird, I have to say, but I'm sure there are people out there having similar...

Perspective from a lifelong 25 year old stutterer

Perspective from a lifelong 25 year old stutterer Hi all - thought I'd make a post giving my perspective on stuttering. Hope this helps some of you. I've stuttered from early childhood through my tee...
