This often happens when people have a real bad block & they’re literally trying to shake it out. Only advice I can give is what’s helped me I currently don’t have any ticks now. The second you notice ...

Ahhh it feels like I have written this! Fellow covert over here! So I had to present recently to a very senior board at work. It’s all I thought about for weeks. So I feel your pain. As a covert, ...

Anticipatory Anxiety gets to all of us, whether that be before an interview or presentation/speech etc. Our cortisol and adrenaline levels rise, and this exacerbates our stuttering. I take Propranol...

So I'm oddly good at public speaking. One thing specific that helps me, and may not help others, is that I cannot practice *too much*. I have my main ideas to cover, but I like to kind of improvise as...

Proud of you!! You've got this. I agree to practice and practice some more. Possible topic ideas : famous people who had a stutter from Moses to James Earl Jones (darth vader from Star Wars), you ...

I would say go for it .Try to practice the hard words multiple times and to stand confidently even if u stutter when presenting...

Presentations can be tough. One thing that helped me was using Plus AI to clean up and simplify my slides so I could rely less on long wording and focus more on steady pacing. Clearer slides take pres...

So sweet for you to ask. Do as you usually do. Try to keep what you were doing when the stutter began. I stutter and I also have ADHD and am uncomfortable with eye contact. I talk to people who stut...

Honestly, the nerves make total sense — especially when you’re already dealing with a stutter. One thing that helps a ton is lowering the pressure: you don’t need to sound perfect, you just need to ke...

Fair comment. I mean yeah if it’s never “cured” so be it, but I definitely want to find ways to treat it. I have days where I don’t stutter at all, and I want to extend those if I can. I started stutt...

I guess it depends on what you mean by “treat.” I’ve had a lot of success through implementing a bunch of holistic approaches, including reading some books. Not saying it will work for everyone, but ...

Just a quick tip about phone calls: Pre recording the first messages (Hi i am X, i want to) helps TREMENDOUSLY to kickstart a phone conversation....

I’ve mentioned Lee’s book. But that was just one of many things I’ve done. I’m not one to just accept a limitation, so worked tirelessly over 20 years to combat it. And my transformation and quality o...

Get Lee’s short book. It’s got tons of useful tips. But the big thing is his philosophy: From years (decades) of stuttering your mind has more reference experiences of stuttering than being fluent. S...

Someone else said Lee Lovetts book. I felt it really transformative in my fluency journey. Don’t read the long one. Read the newer short one. Go on his website and look at the references. Attend a f...

Lee’s book was easily the best thing I’ve ever read on stuttering. He offers practical tips to come at the issue from all directions. 1. Mechanical things to do in the moment of a block 2. Pre-speak...

Ok, I would highly recommend you address your sleep issues, and taper off the social media before bed. You’ll be surprised how much your fluency will improve by getting quality sleep and detoxing fro...

Trying to fix my stutter

Trying to fix my stutter Hey all, I am trying to fix my stuttering and now I am on day 15 and it seems to be working, but I cannot be sure, I'll come back to this post in 6 months, and if it works, ...

Multiple things can be true simultaneously - Stuttering isn’t your fault. - blocking is actually what happens when you work *too hard* to try to fix the problem - The wrong speech therapy can mak...

How do you reconcile accepting yourself as a person who stutters while striving for fluency, which is the absence of stuttering? It's like telling someone it's ok to stutter but the goal of the therap...
