Same situation, I had my thesis defense earlier and I think I have a few tips for you. I've learned some techniques from my speech therapist which I was able to apply in certain situations (mostly wh...

I did speech therapy in college, and it was helpful. I went for like a month or 2, and then you just kinda do the same things over and over and I realized that I didn't need to pay for that, so I stop...

Thanks for sharing. :) I was also practicing bouncing and prolongation and found prolongation very much helpful. Now I am reading a book on stuttering cures which will teach me some “crutches”....

Of course. So I've learned a few techniques. One that helped me the most was prolongation where I would slightly prolong the first word at the beginning of a sentence. Another one was light articulati...

Going from a 28 second stutter to barely anything in 1 year.

Going from a 28 second stutter to barely anything in 1 year. Hello everyone this isn't my first time on here as I've been talking about my stutter and the difficulty I've had with it throughout my lif...

I never have a problem speaking if I’m talking to myself/ talking when I’m alone. I like doing this to practice when I’m in my apartment alone. I will either pick a topic or find something randomly on...

I agree with you that it is overwhelming. For me stutter and speech block is not only mentally exhausting and painful, but also physically. When I get speech block, I sometimes have to clutch my hands...

Hey :) You say you don't stutter but what you described sounds like a stutter to me. Life can suck sometimes, I know. Have you tried a speech therapist? I think the best thing for us is to expose ours...

Tap out words & syllables on a desk, your leg, etc. as you’re speaking. Doesn’t have to be a dramatic tap, just a little rhythm. Also proper rest, nothing activates my stutter more than being slee...

Debate Speaking Exercises and Warmup: Find a paragraph to read out loud, then: 1. Read through it and over-enunciate every sound (open your mouth big and exaggerate the pronunciation) 2. Read the te...

Something that really helped me in therapy, is thinking fluently. What I mean is, most of the time when we are stuck on a word or sound, that is the only thought we have. We get stuck in the stutter...

Don't force words out :) and just speak slowly, as slowly as you need! Talk to yourself when you're alone (talk to your pets)! I use positive affirmations in the morning right when I wake up 1. I'm...

There is a really good book I have been reading online (only a couple of chapters in). It is called “Advice to those who stutter” 20+ speech therapists who are experts in their field provide great ad...

Actively stopping myself when it happens and releasing words on exhales. It has also helped having people hold me accountable so that I don’t try to just push through the block and facial/head movemen...

My only suggestion is keep doing them. Keep talking. Keep putting yourself into difficult situations and not retreating. Don't apologize for stuttering and try your best to look at this as a learning ...

"Common" stuttering is not caused by lack of oxygen to one part of the brain. By common I mean the kind in which people start stuttering as kids, the disfluencies persist, then you add a layer of anxi...

100% agree here ^^^^* Go get some speech therapy. Get some structured practice sessions and learn methods to get past blocks and prolongations. Just relax and focus on self improvement! You'll alwa...

I know how it feels my man. We had this research project we had to present for the final semester in college. I couldn't put my point across even though I had decently good rebuttals for the questions...

Actually, during my MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) there was a colonel who noticed my moderate/severe stutter and he pulled me out of line to take a special oral test. I was given 10 ve...
