You have to do things that address the actual problem. Silent blocking and fear have nothing to do with being able to articulate the word. It’s based in shame of others hearing your repetitions, so ...

There are actually tangible habits you can learn that will dramatically decrease your fear-blocking. They are free to learn and use, safe, very effective if done properly, but hard and scary....

But how can I make the fear and pressure gone? I trying to think that way but that just doesn’t leave my mind, and I feel that I thought about that so much so I will stutter a lot, on the first time I...

I had a similar situation where I had to do training (actually it was training to eventually train others) over a call with multiple people all who were also doing the training. It was where we had to...

Yea I like poetic movies. So you like Romeo and Juliet.. by Leonardo Dicaprio? Leonardo Dicaprio showed Rick Dalton's stutter in the new Tarantino movie 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' it's not always...

I stuttered pretty bad on a work call.

I stuttered pretty bad on a work call. So here is the story, I called the person and had to say pretty basic words but blocked so bad I wasn't able to and got scared and declined the call. After I ca...

If I get past a block while still feeling afraid then I force it out. I often sound timid and off pitch when I do that. The time delay puts pressure that makes me force it out eventually...

Hello I’m (35F) and yes I go through this often it’s almost like a block I’m having while trying to speak. I’ve been in speech therapy (didn’t really help) I honestly think it’s anxiety or the over th...

I am terrified of getting a job

Rant about sudden adult onset

Rant about sudden adult onset Hi, everyone! I have pristine perfect and fluent speech, but a year ago my brain somehow suddenly decided to hide this fact. I love speaking, both person-to-person and o...
