I do agree " practice speaking" is a well meant but useless advice. It's different from " practice guitar" that's something you will actually get better over time. To the feeling of sensation: I do n...

Speech therapy teaches you how to have a relationship with the part of you that stutters, to not be afraid or anxious of it, but to learn and understand what triggers the block and what you might be a...

It sounds like you could really do with some therapy. The accent/role thing is another trick that might work at times but eventually the novelty will wear off as you use it....

I have a block stutter as well, so I understand the frustrations you shared. First of all, it's important to remember that everyone has a variety of different obstacles in their lives, on many diffe...

Awesome! It doesn’t fix it all the way, but just try to talk mor relaxed and smooth. Almost like you’re trying to sell a product lol...

That's what my speech therapist got me to do, always make eye contact be she said I was fine with that. Not too much to be weird and not too little to seem nervous or whatever. One of my coworkers sa...

Official PTSD diagnosis is only useful if you are looking for a reason for having a very hard time functioning. Ideas. Practice them at any time of the day, alone, w others: 1. Don’t look down or ...

Of course. That will always happen. But the “talking more slowly, clearly,” is like any muscle. Start with baby steps and work up to a marathon of slow, clear talking....

I do try to talk slowly but sometimes I just get so caught up in whats happening and forget to....

Same thing happens w me around new people. I also am more fluent when I’m angry-stressed, and with emotionally charged conversations (small talk can be very difficult). Try telling those new peopl...

lol i have the same problem whether I’m socially anxious or with people I’m comfortable around i still managed to stutter but i think it’s because my breathing isn’t right & I’m talking too fast t...

I understand that. I hate I slow I feel like I'm talking with I do that Stuff like that may help but I'm so used to it that I don't notice it anymore Even though everyone is different I love knowin...

I believe it's my normal speed, it sounds and feels normal to me. I do have to admit, when I do talk slow, it does reduce my stuttering but I hate how slow I sound when talking like that. Getting use...

I've used this as well. Works really well but the tradeoff is being less charismatic/engaging. Its still a very handy tool. Much more effective in stressful situations than easy onset....

Definitely do! Slowing speech and allowing yourself pauses helps so much! I was talking just a few minutes ago and instead of stuttering on the word I paused until I could say it, and it felt a lot be...

I think I just found out how to control my stutter

I think I just found out how to control my stutter Today I’ve had so much confidence because my stutter has been so easy to maintain. I always talk slower and feel like when somebody talks to be I nee...

I hope so too, however, I've been stuttering more now but I need to remember to take it slow. Thanks!...

Confused on what to do.

Confused on what to do. So I have this stutter and I stutter really bad while reading something. I was anxious about how I'm gonna talk in school after it got reopened today and fortunately it went we...

Speaking slowly was life-changing for me. It literally reduced my stutter by 70%...
