I’ve been to some actual speech therapy, not that useless school shit, but what she taught me is smooth and steady onset, and it actually works. First your need to learn to talk really slow, not in ev...

Serious answer: Consider going to Speech Therapy, as you can unlearn all these behaviors. Try getting a referral from your primary doc...

This has worked for me before. Thinking of one word but actually saying another. Something else that's worked for me sometimes is changing the sentence composition. Instead of "Did you see the new Sp...

That is a tough one. When I do that, I realize I'm in panic mode. And at that point, getting a word out will require either completely stopping & rephrasing the sentence... or closing my eyes & using ...

Wow. Your post was like reading my biography. I'm also a person who has problems with R and can't say my name (Ryan). And yep, I think I did all the same coping mechanisms, like using the bathroom be...

Yes, see the clip below. I don't think they teach gliding anymore because I didn't see you tube videos out there on it. I got that therapy in about 1976, so things might have changed a lot since then...

Yeah I gave up on the drive-thru ages ago, sorry you went through this. It’s always a horrible speaker/receiver, no facial cues, stressful with people behind you, etc. I either have the other person i...

Actually magnesium and B1 i dont believe in them they work, people usually have placebo effect at start when they take them then with in few days or week it wears off and they are back to normal.. An...

There is no magical cure, the cure is changing the way you view your stutter. You can stop stuttering if you ease the "don't stutter, it's bad" pressure that you put on yourself. In fact, you don't e...

I have an occasional stutter and a very persistent speech block in front of groups. A specific group would be great to practice....

When there are numbers to order I used to do the drive up. Culver’s has no numbers, and it was near impossible for me. Had to order in front of the drive up worker. Said my order and got it. Since the...

The drive thru can be especially challenging for people who stutter, but usually the challenge is ordering. I’m sorry that this employee gave you a hard time; I know that would be especially difficult...

My friends tell I rush

My friends tell I rush A few of my friends tell that I always rush. At the beginning of a speech/talk I make sure that I speak slow and calm but subconsciously I speed up things… Sometimes I talk way...

Good luck, wish me luck as I also have a presentation soon but am just make sure a video instead of reading something out loud...

Agreed, taking a daily beta blocker will not fix a stutter. You'd get used to the impact, or you might start passing out in public if your BP goes to low. I only use it once or twice a decade when I...

Thank you so much! This is my attempt to summarize your helpful interventions: * I implemented “gliding”: slowly gliding on the beginnings of words that cause you to stutter * Once you know which co...

HI: I also stutter when trying to speak a foreign language (and if really drunk). I think it's because all the mechanisms I've built to control it vanish when I do something as taxing as using a lang...

How I Largely Overcame a Stutter and became a College Professor.

How I Largely Overcame a Stutter and became a College Professor. Hi Fellow Stutters: I’ve overcome my stuttering enough to spend a year studying in a non-English speaking country, and have been a col...

Thank you so much for your sources and input! I highly appreciate it! I definitely agree that my method to alleviate my stutter isn’t very helpful anymore and I’d like to figure out how to un-conditio...

The other thing that helps me massively right before a job interview is to take 1/2 dose of a beta blocker, and some valerian root. Beta blockers are used by actors with stage fright because it keeps...
