When i explain my trials with stuttering to someone, I am always fluent for some weird reason. And like clockwork, the first thing the other person says is, "see, you are fluent now". It isn't how th...

Forming coherent sentences as a stutterer

Forming coherent sentences as a stutterer I've stuttered fairly badly for most of my life. I've been to speech therapy on and off for most of my youth and a bit here and there as an adult. My fluency ...

I'm on page 18. I will give the rest of the book a read, but this is something I touched upon in December. Speech is automatic and that when we start thinking about it its when we block. I record v...

It does repeat itself a lot, but I'm a fast reader and often miss points. I think she hammered everything home very well. Personal opinion, but I see where you're coming from. I can see how the speak...

I've read it a few weeks ago .I didn't liked the way it was written (too much stuff repeating over and over again) but i agree with the ideas presented there .I noticed that when i don't think about w...

depends on what you mean by 'mental'? yes, there are psychological reasons (thinking about it makes it worse, getting stuck on your own name but not someone else's who's name is the same as yours) bu...

While I think a good portion of it is mental and that we should put some focus into positive thinking, I don't think we can attribute it *all* to our mind....

It's indeed all in my head, my scumbag brain isn't working the same was as it does for fluent speakers....

The science of stuttering isn't a done deal yet. Many factors seem to play in. There's also somewhat of a personal variance, I think, with regards to how stutterers perceive themselves and their imped...

Well, you still have to _perform_, so whether or not you want to call it "all mental", the end result is what matters - and if you stutter in performing, well, then that's where the stutter has shown ...

Is stuttering mental or physical?

Is stuttering mental or physical? Hello everyone I stutter since I was 8 and I am 16 right now. So today I kinda wonderd if stuttering is mental or physical? I know that I don't or rarelly stutter whe...

its all in your head

its all in your head this stutter shit is all mental real talk, for me anyway. If i dont think about it I'm golden. I just cant figure out how to get it out of my head. Everytime i do notice im fluent...

Thanks for your input. If you don't mind me asking, are you a 'covert' or 'overt' stutterer? Covert being you mostly hide your stutter and not a lot of people can tell immediately, overt being maybe a...

confidence is a part for sure. so it being distracted. i find that for me mildly thinking about stuttering is when its the worst: if i am focusing on it i rarely stutter (but that is exhausting) bu...

Oh. I don't pretend to do science here. I called it a theory because it's my current guess of how it works. It's based purely on intuition, since I have no scientific framework to build on and I'm qui...

I hear ya. it's probably something that too hard to do right now. Vowels are super hard to let yourself stutter on, even if you want to. Im in a new therapy program now and I still cant let myself jus...

same here. for the lat hslf year i havent talked in class its so much pressure but i need to to overcome the fear...

Worse performance due to overthink definitely happens to me. When I tried controlling the valsalva maueuver(explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT3l0FYJKns), I got so used to thinking ab...

I've read a book called "how we decide " and i learned that when you overthink(you consciously thinking about something you normally do it using your subconscious like breathing, walking and talking) ...

it's always good to try and get some sort of grip on your own stutter, to get acquainted with yourself that way. i imagine there are numerous ways of representing it, in terms that make sense to the s...
