No im just theorizing what my brain does based o n my recording But on a related note, i think blocks and being short of breathe have a connection...

With costal breathing (used with McGuire and Starfish) you regularly exhale all of your breath. So when you do inhale you're taking a full breath. The 'stops breathing' bit you mention, are these bl...

I usually have the s-sounds or pushing air.. sometimes feeling like a mild seizure from the shoulder up. I may stop once I know I'm in it; But sometimes I try to push through it. I would like to have...

I try not to think about it too much to avoid getting hung up in analysis paralysis. When I hit a block, though, I stop, take a few slow breaths, and then try to breathe through the trouble word. ...

you have my exact condition. I almost never stutter with my family or when I went to speech therapy. I literally NEVER stuttered at speech therapy. My situation is all blocks as well. I have pretty ba...

I block a lot too and have a hard time with it. Been working on it for a long time now. We block because we're already to stutter on the disfluent sound, but we still want to move forward so we're c...

Not sure about the movie lines, but reading a sign to someone else creates a "spotlight effect" that brings an element of performance anxiety. The Block loves performance anxiety. Easier said than don...

Agreed. It's just little things that add up. I think getting cut off built the thought in my head that what I wanted to say wasn't important enough, and that people didn't want to hear me. I guess tha...

> Also, after that cut off I blocked. Ugh, yeah hate it when that happens. It's a really common thing, for sure. The feeling of possibly being interrupted makes us anxious to get it out before we ...

I don't think it's a causation as my blocks have become more apparent recently. But having that recent experience of being cut off really opened my eyes and made the correlation between the two. Also,...

There's a lot of emotional connection to the feeling of getting cut off for me aswell. I won't go into that now but I can definatly feel a connection between that feeling of constantly getting cut off...

The reason for my speech blocks

The reason for my speech blocks Hi guys. I think I've finally found out the reason why I block... so back in school there would be a lot of times when I would start to speak but I would then get cut o...

I have this as well. One guy once asked me what my name was and I simply got blocked and told him the name after a while. He replied “What were you thinking about for so long?” I simply ignored him af...

The thing is I can try over and over again but I always have a block that you can hear at the start of the sentence. ...

I personally subscribe to the hypothesis from Joseph Sheehan that blocking is a subconcious approach avoidance conflict where we freeze and thus block when we stutter because we get hesistant when we ...

I sometimes stop attempting to get anything out, and then try again. This is usually accompanied with some sort of signalling to my surroundings (so they can see I'm still doing something). Exhaling t...

Blocking is a form of stuttering which happens when you try to fight your stuttering. Most of us start with repeating stutter and end up with blocking....

What is your experience with stuttering blocks?

What is your experience with stuttering blocks? My experience with stuttering has always felt especially frustrating because my stuttering doesn't "sound" like stuttering. There are many times I get s...

Yea, and then if you block they turn their head to you like “what the hell’s going on?”...

Fuck I just imagined this happening to me and having one of my 'stutter, but with bonus excess spit spray' moments, which is going to haunt me on random nights at 3am as I lay in bed, as you do, as yo...
