Sometimes I feel like I would have it too easy without my stutter. It holds me back just enough to where I have to work for the things I want to people to think of me. It makes me stop to think about...

when I am blocking I can’t make eye contact! It probably makes the block more awkward but it’s definitely just a bad habit now...

Yea it's really hard for me to make eye contact when I am having a block. It's definitely just a practice thing to break the bad habit though. If you're mindful of the problem it'll be a lot easier to...

I’m happy you feel better but my in person public speaking course was really what finally got me over the hump with my stutter and obsessing over speaking in front of people. I still stutter but the c...

I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't know the nature \ cause of your stutter, but i think I understand why I do what you described. Hopefully this will help! Whenever im talking with fri...

This actually makes sense since I dont usually stutter when I'm focused on something else. I'll try this out, thank you!...

That makes sense; it might be this technique giving you the confidence you needed on top on some speech practice and you snowballing from there. I'm not totally sold with the idea we can programe our ...

Well for me personally, I did my research before hand on how many words the average male (in my case) says a day. And my main goal was to match that in my exercises alone. 2000 sentences if I broke th...

Say the 2000 sentences or however amount you chose as SLOW as possible EVERYTIME and use the ball. Speak and dont think about anything but throwing the ball up and catching it and not dropping it. Soo...

Honestly I was at my low of lows and got desperate enough to try everything. I had a lot of time alone to think. I wanted to apply something that redirected my attention away from speaking while pract...

I hate that then the topic moves on and you can't without people getting all weird about it. My mom and brother have watched me hit a block take a moment then when I go to continue my thought they've ...

I think this is a perfect example of how most people’s’ stutter gets worse when they think about what they’re gonna say! I love this so much and I’m gonna try this...

Great insight. I think my stutter comes out in the following: * Anxiety - thoughts of **incompetence** and that I'm being judged by my stutter. I have been seeing a therapist to help reframe, but i...

If you’re anxious it’s going to be hard to be present. If you’re anxious and a stutterer you’re most likely going to be thinking about trying not to stutter and most likely stutter more. I agree but I...

I see some comments like brainstorm before hand and prepare but honestly that will only put you in your head and we always stutter more when we are in our head. I'm interested in what's makes you stut...

Yes you will be able to feel when a stutter is coming. After years of experience you would have developed such an awareness for this feeling. Great news is we can actually use this awareness we gave g...

That sounds like a great idea. I will have to try that. The tricky thing I'll have to figure out is tuning everything out. Does it come naturally to you or is that something you had to practice?...

Hey good reflection! But do you think the case for some people with a stutter (more so speech blocks) it’s all in your head? Because when I talk by myself I am perfect speaker. When I talk to family m...

So when I have to present or talk to a large group of people I look at my scratch paper for my talking points. Then I just tune everything out. I tune out my fear of stuttering. I tune out my fear ...
