He’s not an SLP but he was a stutterer and knows exactly what he’s talking about. I’ve actually beat my stutter and consider myself cured with his methods. Again you use a crutch is a temporary thing ...

Great advice! Additionally, are there ways to desensitize to the "pressure" (or perceived conflict/errors) that the letters /P/ and /A/ bring about (instead of adding fillers)? Perhaps if we target th...

Do you also speak too fast sometime?

Do you also speak too fast sometime? Despite being stutter this is something I face on daily basis. When I get a smooth flow I tend to speak fluently without getting stuck. Few days back, I was explai...

I don't quite understand I stutter, but only if I am nervous or excited which is basically 90% of my time. I tried speaking out loud when I was alone and I spoke surprisingly fluent, so I figured tha...
