There's a lot going on in the mind and brain. There's probably something neurological with stuttering (parts of the brain not communicating with each other as they do in non-stutterers). There are als...

Would love to read the paper! And potentially — I mean, I’ve had bad suffering episodes, more acute and random, every now and then which were embarrassing. I started taking Klonopin to alleviate anxie...

Can't say name

Can't say name I feel like my stuttering has gone worse throughout the years as I became more self concious. I stutter with people differently. With my family(sister and mom), I stutter on only a few ...

From my experience speaking on a bad stuttering day does require a lot more mental capacity, leads to fatigue and saying nonsensical stuff, just to avoid tricky words/moments. I can imagine any other ...

It's a good reminder than when we stutter in a meeting or on a call that many of those listening think we are incompetent....

This is a very important question, and very important in learning how to cope/heal with the condition. Most humans who speak also speak with repetitions, prolongations, flubs. George Steohanolopois ...

How to enter flow state to stop stuttering bc of anxiety?

How to enter flow state to stop stuttering bc of anxiety? I vividly remember a presentation I did towards to end of my senior year of hs where I just entered a flow state and spoke perfectly for the e...

Thank you so much! I agree with you that anticipation can create a problem. Personally, I think that, if we anticipate stuttering, we sometimes stutter and other times do not stutter. Yes indeed, an a...

It’s okay to ask for help sometimes man. You got this. My stutter usually flares up when I’m at restaurants so my girl has to order for me. It was embarrassing at first. But now we laugh and make bets...

I don’t think people realize stuttering is an actual thing. So for them, it’s a joke - or funny to hear someone stumble on their words and don’t understand the weight, stress and anxiety it causes the...

I would encourage you to get help. There are a lot of crisis helplines (ironically difficult for us to use) that could help you to reframe the problems you are facing. You are holding down a job whic...

We might anticipate stuttering 90% of the time caused by negative experiences. But did you know that this anticipation prompts unique activity in the brain? Can new research work on curing stuttering (anticipation)? Research: "Study finds stuttering anticipation prompts unique activity in the brain"

Call pizza places, Chinese, restaurants, etc. Practice asking about specials. Start making an order, and abruptly say "oops. I gotta go. I'll call back" We're so wrapped up in what other people think...

Holy crap, this is exactly what happens to me. I stutter more when I must think about what to say....

My dad does so that’s probably why I do but I do have dyspraxia so that probably also makes me and I have anxiety so its probably all three of those...

Can someone offer any advice?

Can someone offer any advice? I had a pretty severe stutter maybe 10 years ago while I was in elementary school. I then grew out of it as I got older but last year I recently noticed it was somewhat c...

Oh, I can feel it, man. I've got 'D' for thesis defense but anyway was employed as an interpreter two years later. I advise to prepare a presentation, as one of commenters said, at least with slides a...

This happens to me quite often as well, too. I could be speaking perfectly fine with a coworker and then the phone rings, and an immediate vocal block happens when I try to say hello. It's to the po...

I totally understand. Even my fairly minor and random stutter has limited me. There's always my fear of people thinking I'm fluent and then openly stuttering. Sometimes people think I'm Joking because...

I literally could not talk on the phone for years. Every time it rang I had a full blown panic attack. Desensitization is the key. I see you’re doing some practicing. Step it up a bit by calling a fri...
