Never chase after fluency, chase after control and efficiency. I used to be that way and chase the fluency god, not worth the time or hassle. Just focus on what they teach you in therapy and go from t...

Some possible, weird tips for you all

Some possible, weird tips for you all Hi guys. Long time stammerer and stutterer here. Not really a massive stutterer, I don’t have like p-p-p as much, but I struggle with getting words out they way I...

I recommend this to all my friends who stutter but if you’re inclined check out Stuttering & Anxiety Self-Cures by Lee G. Lovett. It talks about using autosuggestion and meditation to help lessen ...

When I was your age I felt the same way. I was sick and tired of my stutter and I just wanted it to go away. I just kinda thought I would "outgrow it". But I never did. As I approached 30 and stil...

I have found easy onset and light contact have really helped me with similar issues. Google easy onset and you'll find some great information. Good luck in your endeavors....

Well, I think you've got it the wrong way around. Put it like this: You don't stutter because you think of stutter - you think of stutter because you're in a situation involving stuttering. Also, wh...

My stuttering is very well controlled thanks to A LOT of speech therapy. I have had one or two interviews where nerves got the best of me and my stutter really came out (compared to many, still not to...

Well yeah but don't think too much into it. Vocalise an 'a' just before the word for example. Sounds a bit weird but can help you get over a block. Might work for you might not but try it out see if i...

Yeah I have seen bits and pieces of the kings speech but I don't remember too much about it. I probably should watch it. When you say vocalise do you mean to say the word in your head before you actua...

I thought about mine a lot too when starting uni. Have you seen the kings speech? Sounds stupid but there's one technique in there I picked up. Vocalise something before you say the word. It does help...

I'm a 22 y/o male who still stutters. And been thinking about my stuttering a lot lately as I'm transitioning to life after college. Since your stutter has improved do you have any practice methods th...

Thanks a lot for saying that. These words comforted me more than anything. I have people around me. But they have their own lives and I just don't wanna be a burden upon them. I do keep a diary tho. T...

I really dislike fluency shaping. It is not natural fluency, or natural speech. Yes one may be able to speak fluently, but it is still labored fluency....

I read it and found it interesting. But it's just another, more nuanced form of fluency shaping. Not for me....

I worked hard and gave my best!!!

I worked hard and gave my best!!! Yesterday was my VIVA day, and i was freakin worried.... I was doing some excercises for the past few months. Although the VIVA went with difficultly but still, this ...

THis is exactly the thing I have the most problem with. Do start a sentence with a vowel is next to impossible. If i try, I cant get a sound out and if I try to force it my mouth just contracts and ex...

Great post. First, I don't go down the neurological approach because the explanation and solution will not be found there. Stuttering is no more a ''neurological'' problem than walking is neurologica...

Pick up Lee Lovett's book. Third edition. It has ten or twelve methods. He calls them crutches. I dont remember them all off hand. But it won't matter anyway, you dont want just techniques for vowel n...

Vowels always make me trip up. Here are some things I’ve used over the years and still do: If the vowel word isn’t first in the sentence, combine it with the last world and make one big one. “The ani...

I have been seeing one again for about a month now too! I also find that i talk more controlled and focus on my breathing a lot now which has really helped! hopefully this keeps up...
