Introducing Myself

Introducing Myself Good evening everyone! I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful holiday! I (22 F) am a 6th grade History teacher, and I have been a stutterer for 11 years. My s...

I was taught to start breathing out a very soft H Sound when starting a word you tend to block on then rolling into the word your trying to say. With a bit of practice it can be barely noticeable and ...

Are you blocking on the ‘a’ or the ‘p’? If it’s the ‘a’ then you gotta focus on your breath before even worrying about the sound. If you’re not exhaling then the words don’t matter. If it’s the ‘p’ th...

First, realize there are no "hard" or "easy" sounds. If you were humming or singing, you could say any sounds with the same ease. Speech is just an airflow coming out of your mouth. Of course, that do...

Very helpful! especially point number 2, I often find my self doing this not necessarily on purpose, pausing to avoid a block and it ends up making the story much more dramatic and engaging...

First off, just wanna say I’ve been there a million times. I know those moments are tough and weigh on you but try not to let it get you down. It wasn’t the first and it won’t be the last, but with a ...

I know exactly how you feel. I would really suggest trying out a couple tricks and finding out what works best for you! Breathing deeply repeatedly and inhaling before I speak and then exhaling while ...

>someone records their voice and the software gives them feedback on where to improve and related exercises Point of note: This isn't the same as talking to people. Delivering something that you k...

It can be as simple as just narrating your daily activities. Like tonight, as I was cleaning up, I was saying out loud “ok, I am going to put these cups in the dishwasher, then wipe down the counterto...

I have a weekly work meeting and I experience this too. I practice before the meeting and it's all great until it's my turn to talk. I've honestly learned to say screw it and embrace it, I say Uhms ...

I think what I try to do is to get some form of noise out there during a pause, whether it's saying 'erm' or just something easier I can say. Once people realise that I want to speak they'll let me wh...

Really?! Its interesting that you’ve been able to get around by using strategies like that. I think I’ll have to try to employ that in my life....

I can’t give you any definitive advice because I struggle with the exact same thing. All I can tell you is that you’re not alone. I’ve been doing speech therapy recently and I’ve been able to say my n...

I ordered a drink without stuttering

I ordered a drink without stuttering To preface this, my stutter is probably better categorised as speech anxiety, which I’ve had all my life. I’ve been practicing ordering for myself a lot lately a...
