I've tried slowing down and taking pauses. They work when I'm talking to myself or close friends but never when I'm under stress. For example when I'm having an intense conversation with someone no ma...

Yes. I know you’ve been told this but you need to slow down and take your time. An analogy to use is Barrack Obama doing public speeches. Whether you align with him politically or not, he has a very...

I'm with you on the feedback loops. Especially when it comes to avoidance. There are certain sounds that are a real problem for me, and the more I avoid them the more fearful they become. Thus more te...

For me taking a breath of air before the word I'm gonna stutter on, and then using that air to help the word flow out. Also light articulation, just being really soft with my mouth/lips and being ligh...

It’s so annoying! Sorry to hear yours has been bugging you as well. There’s a few around the world, but this one specifically was in Vancouver, BC. It’s basically 10 hours a day of group speech ther...

Like how did mine go away? As a kid, I simply outgrew it. I guess my brain adapted to whatever issue there was at least as much as it needed to for me to speak fluently. As far as it “going away” af...

Congratulations! Once I embraced my stutter and stopped fighting it, a huge weight had lifted and I felt such freedom. My daily routine consists of: (1) Mindful meditation- 10 mins (2) Read out lou...

Has everyone’s speech gotten worse since quarantine?

Has everyone’s speech gotten worse since quarantine? Cause mine sure fucking has! Had a stutter as a kid. Outgrew it. Extreme stress at 24, two years ago. It came back. Did one of those 10-day inten...

I also get where you're coming from. The terror I used to feel at times was.... indescribable. It's too bad therapy didn't help you. What I really took away from it were little tricks for sounds I wo...

I feel you friend. Mine can be moderate and I’ll get caught on certain words at times when I’m trying to concentrate on everything at once. I work in retail so when it gets busy I catch myself stutter...

Ah yes, ordering. At one point in my life when out with friends, I would always tell my best friend what I wanted so if I struggled, she could order for me. She hardly ever actually had to, but it di...

Same happened to me. I was not able to say "ambulatory" (I work in the medical field as a national trainer). I practiced saying that work over and over again for 2 hours straight for a week. When i...

Thats a good technique, in the past I found out if I use some filler words It’s easier. My old speech therapist told me not to! But idk might have to do what’s going to help me out. Thanks!...
