Hmm, nice analogy. It's nice that the quote compares it to the situation in the gym, which means that if you work hard you can get rid of your problems (losing weight=becoming more fluent) and that th...

I’m 22 and I still do it a little bit. You would probably notice it but it isn’t anything severe like it once was. I found a speech therapist online that has really helped a lot. He also used to stutt...

Absolutely, reading aloud can help. I'm pretty sure Joe Biden's stuttering story involves him reading aloud in from of a mirror. For me it was quite a bit more than just reading aloud. But what works...

Thanks. No, I compared my efforts towards fluency to going to the gym or learning an instrument. I hold the belief that speech therapy takes practice and dedication. You don't get stronger or more fo...

Thank you. In my case I don't have problem with breathing. My problem is that I stop articulating (my jaw or tongue stops). So costal breathing won't solve the fact that I stop articulating, in my exp...

It matches the description with a speech therapist in a big stutter forum. She also removed her stuttering using slow speaking and make a sentence before you speak. I think most stutterers confuse the...

There’s a difference between taking deep breaths and using the breath to overcome a stuttering block. I basically cured my stuttering after learning costal breathing - as in taking a big breath and th...

It is a good tip, it applies to everyone really and isn’t specific to stuttering. In essence, it tells you to slow down, and know exactly what you are gonna say so you can focus your mind on controlli...

I have the throat block too. It’s so annoying when you’re trying to say something and it won’t come out right? For me it makes me want to speak faster so I get out my information before that happens, ...

That is so true and I relate a lot. I used to smoke a lot of weed for my stutter, learned 2 things from it - the way I talk and how fixated I am on my speech. I stopped using weed for it and tried to ...

^agree. Also if you’re over the phone keep in mind that a long pause is more explainable or not as awkward. So if you really need to say a specific word just let the air hang and stutter quietly quiet...
