Hey! Full time and long time stutterer here! I'm in the same boat, with phone calls causing my stutter to get much more severe. What I've found works, for me, though is this. Take a deep breath right...
Yes, my teenage son has anxiety not trauma related, just bad genes combined with Covid, and has developed a stutter that the doctor has attributed to his anxiety. He sees a Speech Therapist and a Psy...
I’d say there’s a correlation, especially if your stutter is now “gone” might mean that it was anxiety/fear induced in the first place and not something permanent. When you say gone, what do you mea...
Childhood Trauma and Stuttering
Childhood Trauma and Stuttering Do you believe there's a connection? I grew up in an alcoholic home where rage was normal most weekends. I knew fear from a young age, didn't understand it till I wen...
People who induce my anxiety make me stutter. They can induce my anxiety by being anxious themselves (I can feel it) and by interrupting me. I anticipate being interrupted and start to talk all awkwar...
Totally get you. Had a seminar in English last december (year 2 in swedish high school), and it basically triggered the worst period of stuttering in my whole life. Had some other sources of anxiety t...
The article you posted says the following: Predisposition to anxiety probably definitely plays a role in most stuttering- *as both cause and effect*. And, there are still many unknowns. Also, their...
Neurological predispositioning is higher chance that anxiety tenses our muscles. In my opinion, if I don't have anxiety, I don't stutter. Do you agree? That's why if I clear my mind, I don't stutter....
Rough days
Rough days For the past 2-3 weeks I've dealt with higher anxiety, so my stutter has been worse too. The reason is a class presentation, I'm in university, it's not like a full on or final grade presen...
Hello, I'm 25 years old and I've stuttered since I was a kid, so I have a little bit of experience. Here's an interesting fact: I don't stutter when I'm alone. When I'm talking to myself alone, I'm mo...
It's alright, I actually thank you for this comment. I feel better knowing someone's out there that is in nearly the same situation as me. I swear nobody in my class has the same issues I have on spea...
I understand what you’re going through. I actaully experience the same thing on my English classes. Unfortunately I have no advice to you, because I feel the same about speaking in class. I’m in 9th g...
We stutter because of a neurological predisposition which means, tensing the mouth by perceived stresses. It only means that the chance is higher that perceived stresses impact us to stutter. The psyc...

I get these sort of headaches when stuttering too. I noticed that when I'm stuck on a word I will sort of stop breathing and just try to get the word out. It's a bad practice and I'm working on it, bu...
My guess is because when the stutter occurs or you think of it, the flight or fight response is activated, you feel that pit of fear in your stomach and that takes energy; over just a few minutes/hour...
Yes!!!! I am the same! Thinking and worrying about sentences/phrases that I could/might stutter on is INSANELY draining and causes a headache. If I am sleep deprived even a little, I will get a headac...
