Since you don't have access to good speech therapy, be your own therapist. Do research, practice speaking, record it and play it back to yourself, take notes on the stutter and ways to improve it, etc...

It is indeed a disadvantage. Like a missing limb. Has cbt worked for you? Cognitive behavioral therapy? Just forcing positive affirmation until it becomes natural? That and some weed and introspection...

I don't want to start off by exposing myself as a grammar Nazi, bu you probably meant awareness. Now back to your problems. First off you probably haven't tried all self therapy methods available for ...

Best advice is to see a speech therapist if you can. If not just speak try to speak slowly. I find avoiding caffeine or stimulant drugs is also a good way to reduce it as well as playing sports. Try t...

Good post, thanks for sharing. I'm in my mid 30s and still have a bit of a stutter. I haven't "kicked it" by any means, as it's still something I have to actively work on and I still have occasional...

Focus on letting some air out before you speak. Try your best to keep your airway open before and while you're speaking. You can start as slowly as needed but if you're fluent then that's all that mat...

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like our stuttering is pretty similar. Generally mild but the flare ups can be bad. I know when I’m nervous or on the spot mine gets worse. I’m sick of settling for copin...

Sometimes I picture somebody who speaks really confidently and clearly and imagine I’m them. It works most of the time...

My wife usually orders but if I'm solo I've yoga strategy to make it easier. I just wrote it in another post too but If I'm starting to talk with a person at work or ordering food or anything. I start...

Mate I have a really good strategy. I have a very well rehearsed "high how are you?" if you you struggle with H sounds maybe find a different greeting that's easy to say for you. If I'm starting to t...

I don’t stutter as much whenever tapping my fingers to my leg or speaking using hands...

I encourage you to use it to your advantage. When you feel a stutter coming on, try to make it flow. Stop for a few seconds, then start again. Pausing between sentences in a speech genuinely helps, an...

I would guess that your fluency improves not because you’re talking “faster” but because you’re stringing your words together and keeping your voice turned on throughout your sentences. This matches a...

Hi! I’m 24 and I’ve realized my stuttering goes through phases. When I’m happy and calm, I stutter much much less. When I’m scared or very stressed, my stuttering increases. I had speech therapy whe...

Environmental stuttering/ some thoughts.

Environmental stuttering/ some thoughts. Hello, I have found that when I am speaking by myself and reading aloud in my room that my stutter is 99% gone. The reason I bring this up is that I have bee...

That's my main issue - the speech blocks. Mine tend to happen on specific sounds, one of which is what my name starts with so I can totally relate. It used to be super frustrating and I think the anx...

Its actually something that my therapist told me when i was younger. She also noticed that im "mumbling" my words out, so we practiced alot by making clear movements with my mouth when speaking....

I never noticed it but thinking about it that kind of makes sense. I work in the veterinary field and when I have to explain stuff to clients I exaggerate it since there’s a lot of medical terms and I...

Lol yeah I have the same thing. I am actually trying to move my lips more. Use your lips I tell myself. It’s gonna take more and more practice....

This is very true for me, exaggerating facial expressions a bit was a big part of my last speech therapy. Practice opening your mouth a little more when you speak, I used to be embarrassed about it ca...
