I've found direct correlation between my speech and the work I put in, too. E.g. if I read aloud a lot, use proactive strategies to avoid struggling with words and use mind training (visualizations, a...

If you don’t stutter alone or when talking to animals, your problem is most likely social anxiety, which is a great thing in my mind because your chance of recovery is certain as long as you improve y...

Idk. I mean I am a person that commits a considerable amount of time to the gym everyday as well as working on my speech. Over time, I have noticed a direct correlation between the work I put in to im...

Congrats on the job!!! What type of role is it? How did you prepare (fluency-wise) for the interviews? I always have to hype myself up the day of the interview (singing high energy songs), repeat out ...

I do go to speech therapy to this day and have been for years. My biggest advice would be, take your time to get your techniques correct. I know “take your time” get thrown a lot at us stutterers but ...

Did you do any speech therapy? Any other suggestions to help manage the stutter?...

I have no idea what ur asking, stuttering is different to each person - you stutter on K and B, I stutter on A and E, the only advice I can give to you is to speak slower and softer. But that takes lo...

My stutter can fluctuate, too. I don't speak a ton (unemployed and single: two great tastes that taste great together!) so I volunteer at a tank museum. Lots of small interactions. Lots of times I can...

I stuttered during a virtual presentation today... My professor thought it was the audio breaking off because of connectivity issues. He told me to find a better spot for connectivity and I successful...

At 19 years of age, you're about smack in the middle of the ages I was at when I had speech therapy. I did speech therapy around 15 or 16 years of age. It didn't help. When I went back and did the sam...

>That's like saying anything treated by physical therapy isn't a medical condition. My point...there is no pill that is going to be a substitute for Physical Therapy. You have to do the therapy to...

Big differences between Crohns and stuttering. One is a medical condition. Speech therapy is the first, best treatment for stuttering. You wouldn't use a pill to learn a new language. You're not goin...

One technique I've used to be more fluent is to emote when your speak, imbue every word that you speak with emotion (it can be passion, excitement, surprise, sadness, happiness, confusion, anger--what...

It's because stutterers tend to stutter less when they're acting out a role/character/personality or adopting a different mannerism of speaking. That's why some stutterers are more fluent when they're...

Emote when your speak, imbue every word that you speak with emotion (it can be passion, excitement, surprise, sadness, happiness, confusion, anger--whatever emotion is appropriate for the occasion). Y...

The hypothesis made sense, but I'm guessing that the Valsalva lock-up in the throat and stomach is the effect, not the cause, of a lock-up in the brain. Having to relax the throat, the stomach, etc. w...

Thank you for expounding on your theory. I find it really fascinating and it seems to make sense. Simply put, it's the basic idea of replacing old bad habits with new good habits. The difference is...

So my theory is that every time you can get a sentence/word out fluently, you're building that fluent pathway in your brain. Every time you block on a sentence/word and try to force the words out usin...

I've often thought about this, and speculate this method is similar to how all the famous actors we hear about being stutterer's are able to achieve a sense of fluency. The question I have is how doe...

I never really tried Bill's breathing (It's been over a decade since I read his book), but I always found if you try to keep the body parts he details in his book relaxed, it helps for sure. His val...
