Any advice?

Any advice? I am a freshman at Baylor University and I have stuttered for as long as I can remember, which was ever since the first grade. I have had speech therapy and that has helped a lot but it s...

Has anyone else here developed a stutter?

Has anyone else here developed a stutter? Hi, I'm new here and just testing the waters and thought I'd ask if anyone else has had a similar experience to me. My speech difficulties are a relatively ne...

hmm not a lot of traffic on this subreddit so i'm kinda late...I have some big blocks sometimes and what helps is to just start sounding out the first word to get the process started then prolongate t...

I do! It's similar to yours actually. I have a block on the consonant sounds like a hard "C" or "K" like in the word Constantinople, or consonant. ...

Blocking is extremely frustrating to me. I can go days without blocking a lot, then randomly, I hit a phase when I block so much I just give up on talking for a while. I have tried the passive airflo...

One technique for blocks which I came to know is to speak every sentence when you have inhaled fully. It's like saying the whole sentence as you exhale out the air. Blocks are usually caused by shortn...

Something I have found that helps me is to purposefully introduce small stutters into your speech. It tricks the brain into feeling like you have control because you're doing the stutter on purpose. I...

try to transition the block into a softer, less tense repetition of the initial sound. as i've found, this is much easier said than done but this works for me...

Has anyone found a technique to overcome blocking?

Has anyone found a technique to overcome blocking? Over the last 20 years I've worked really hard to beat my stuttering. I almost have it beat; most people don't even realize I stutter, but I can't s...

My stutter is weird. Some times I stutter, some times I make really long and prolonged sounds whilst trying to get the word out (it sounds horrible!). But usual words I dread to say often start with B...

Yeah I generally speak alright, it gets really hard when a certain word begins with an S or a D(is followed by another consonant)- like DResses, and I just keep pronouncing the DR DR DR DR...

Blocks. When that happens, my hand automatically goes to adjust my glasses, which is awkward because I get am so conscious of that. I probably look even stupider doing that. I cannot make myself stop...

In instances of public speaking/speaking in front of my class; I am currently in university studying Creative Media, this means I have to speak a lot, it is at it's worst when the lecturer asks me to...

Hey, I just want to let you know something incredibly important and useful which I myself (a mild stutterer) came up with =]

Hey, I just want to let you know something incredibly important and useful which I myself (a mild stutterer) came up with =] In this I'm digging right to the core about the way us humans learn to tack...

I'm a nursing student- I would say where I have to ask for something (I hate to inconvenience people) or when I know I have to give regimented information (the phone if I must explain a situation). ...

Yeah, nothing like being hung up on just as you're about to get the word out. I usually avoid the phone like the plague. However, last week my grandma was in the hospital five hours away from me so I ...

Actually, I forgot to mention the phone in my comment, but I think it's probably the worst for me as well, except possibly reading aloud (although, interestingly enough, I think reading aloud over the...

I am the exact same way! Mine really shows up when I have to have an extended conversation. I can rattle of 1-4 sentences pretty fluently but say at work if I am having to go into detail on something,...

I do a mixture of all three. Most of the time I experience blocks. This happens very often when I'm on the phone. I will ask a question like "How long are you..." and the person on the other end will ...

i freeze and my diofragma just locks in place, but i kind of cheat my way out of it with sucking in air real fast.. but somethimes this get out of controll and people think i have ticks or something, ...
