Great reply! I think that’s the same ideology I have for forcing myself to speak for a couple hours daily, too. It gives a little boost in my next social situation and I don’t have to start from scrat...

It might sound kinda counterintuitive, but tongue twisters have been a great help to me! I do them slowly, but I’ll just say them over and over again, normally with increasing speed and clarity (over ...

(Disclaimer that I don’t have a stutter and am only speaking from my perspective as a current SLP grad student, so feel free to tell me to get lost!) This is great advice OP, it seems to be this para...

Ok, here are a list of techniques that help a lot of people. 1. when you hear the phone ring, take a deep breath prepare your self. Then answer. 2. Have an object to focus your eyes on, this could be...

My 2 cents: (1) Same thing happened to me. I bought a used telephone off of Ebay and just began practicing picking it up and answering it (this may sound weird to some people but my background is ...

I would say it's mostly the same with a slight tendency to stutter more. When I'm drunk and I stutter its wayyyy harder to get out of it and focus on techniques and stop stuttering....

Hey don't lose hope. There is nothing that you cannot achieve by sheer hard work and dedication. I have been sincerely working on my speech for the last four years. I had a moderate stutter which used...

Hi thanks so much! I have been going to speech therapy since October but due to covid, it’s cancelled for now. I notice my issues are blocks repeating certain letters. I know some techniques but they ...

Comparing fluency strategies to makeup is so accurate. Putting on makeup every morning and maintaining the look throughout the day takes a lot of active effort, so I don’t do it often, but for a job i...

Sory for replying you late. No. The technique is about to correct tongue position while you’re closing your mouth or eating. I don’t know if it’s true or not but I think one reason of stuttering is wr...

Yes, I agree about working on our thoughts as well as finding techniques and medication to improve our fluency. Thank you for letting me know about John Harrison's book. I'll try to read it . Good l...

I went to therapy and felt similarly about some of the exercises. People differ a lot, I worked up my own tricks to work around my stutter that work the same if not better....

An interesting question. I know exactly what you mean as using technique may make you feel like you’re not fully expressing yourself, then again how can we express ourselves in front of people when we...

I suppose we could mention something like Stockholm Syndrome... - The way I look at it (personally) is that I want to say what I wanted to say, and this sometimes means facing a stutter head on. In ...

I spent so much time hating it when I was younger. Now it is just a part of me and who I am, like my freckles are. I know little tricks I can do to make my stutter go away, but they require so much...

My 2 cents: (1) Disclose my stutter (2) Take a deep breath (3) Speak (4) Repeat (5) Collect my A+ GOOD LUCK!!! YOU GOT THIS...

When I'm talking, I try to get myself into a "rhythm" in my mind and follow that "rhythm" when I speak. It doesn't work best for me, but it helps me a little bit....

So I can say it's definitely possible to get rid of stuttering, one of my friends used to stutter badly but kept working on it and it's went away. I'm a stutturer myself, noticed that the more I read ...

I know it is more difficult to continue with your speech therapy/speaking situations during this crisis. It sounds like you were succeeding in some pretty difficult speaking situations. Although in-pe...

I’ve been forced to work on my shitty phone stuttering (for Doctor appointments, etc), it’s still a work in progress but I think having to do it more is helping....
