Thank you for this thread. Very well written. To the part of using psychedelics, I think it's a very valuable experience. I would not recommend trying them when you are in that self-pity hole full of ...

nobody said i have PTSD. wrong thread. why do you assume you know things you don't? i've stuttered my entire life and have seen countless SLPs and been through hundreds of hours of therapy. i practic...

Yes I took the same class I used to have a flow / stutter problem too but I put in the work and practice people like you get a free ride and haven't earned it properly, not saying help is bad but what...

don't know if you've been to college but usually you are graded on your ability to present effectively. In my case, I was being marked down because the "flow" of the presentation was off. that's why I...

Your stuttering might stick around for life but it doesn't have to ruin it. The downward spiral is tough to break out of. I myself was at the bottom of one, but my latest strategy to reverse it was to...

I was going to recommend reading out loud as a way to practice speaking with proper grammar, but it sounds like you already do that. I've found it helps to make sure I'm "thinking out loud" when I ta...

This improvement may be an effect of concentrating on something else while speaking. If so, it may go away once you get used to it. Also, it may be that creating pressure down there is a compensation...

I don't think they are mutually exclusive but from my personal anecdote (I have ADHD and my S/O has a stutter)...he is the opposite, has everything together, very meticulous, manages time well, no pri...

With my stutter the more I pay attention it the worse it gets, whether it's monitoring progress or bad habits. When I'm in a mood or setting where my stutter doesn't matter I almost never stutter (at...

Just realizing that I stutter, I have concerns.

Just realizing that I stutter, I have concerns. I posted here earlier, discovered that I most definitely have a stutter, luckily it's pretty mild. Most symptoms for me come out in "eye" "ahh" and othe...

I disagree. Come on, it's one part of taking control over your speaking. Being conscious of every word your saying, and conscious of every breath your take (falls under the umbrella of slow-rated spee...

Biggest problem is getting into the sentence, after that it is mostly more easier. It just sucks when you made a pun or a joke and you need to repeat and it gets into this awkard "urgh" "ergh" situati...

Blocks when repeating a sentence

Blocks when repeating a sentence Hey, I am just curious if you have the same problems like me sometimes when you need to repeat a sentence because someone didnt hear it. When I am fluent at the firs...

From what I understand of your story, don't think there is any reason to be worried. Annoyingly, having a block once or twice with a specific word can turn into a habit *very* quickly due to associati...

Stutter tends to vary, depending on a lot of factors. Maybe you're just paying more attention to it than usual. Are you able to carry out conversations successfully? I mean, if you were before, and s...

For some reason I already had this book on my phone. I think I picked it up from a comment somewhere in this sub, so it probably has been posted here before. Nevertheless, I think making a whole new ...

>finish my sentence like most people do I think most people have a tendency to do this regardless of whether they're facing a stutterer or not. It's just part of general communication, I guess. I...

Thanks! I stutter in all situations about the same. I would say I even see the stutters when I think, at least when I'm thinking about saying something. I don't think I sense the stutters when I am th...

You gotta analyse what you do different at work! Once you become aware of the thing you do differently you can try to change it. Could be breathing, pre-forming, tensing etc...

SLP here. The idea with purposeful stuttering is that it a) decreases tension/panic response because you're desensitizing yourself and b) may increase volitional control of the speech mechanism, sinc...
