The Telephone

The Telephone My first post in the sub! I’m a 40 year old lifelong stutterer. Partial word, whole word and blocking (the one I fear the most!)Probably thought to be mild in adulthood, though I wouldn...

It is improper, but that is how many wrongly explain it so he may have internalized it. I saw one of his interviews and he seems to be a mild stutterer just like I am. He seems to lose his rhythm of w...

You have a stutter, i have the same problems you have...

I don't think swimming is like stuttering. In fact, I don't think we should compare stuttering to any old activity we want to improve in. It's not an activity or skill we're talking about here. It's t...

I think the best way to rephrase what you wrote into something that makes sense for me is: "I pay a lot of attention to how I'm speaking while I'm speaking". This is, of course, rather natural for s...

Some of the comments in this thread are phrased in a manner that's misleading. There's no guarantee that a person with a stutter will pass on the stuttering to their offspring. What we should be say...

If I would come up to you in a party and start a conversation, would I notice your stuttering?...

As I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed my triggers of what worsens my stutters. I know certain letters/ sounds will always cause me trouble so I’ve tried to avoid saying certain things. Or certain situatio...

I've been meaning to respond to this post, but my time has been short recently, and I'm only just now getting around to it. I'm well into my 40s with a moderate-to-severe stutter. I'm also 20+ years...

Mine is making your mouth wide while speaking. It works everytime, I only use this on my bad speech days. It doesn't stop your stuttering at all, it only reduces it in a great huge amount, I can expre...

Whenever I noticed I'm having a really bad week speech wise even if I don't feel overly stressed I take a little time each day to just sit quietly for 10 minutes by myself and just kinda meditate. Jus...

Yea the breathing / speaking connection definitely feels real to me. In addition , I’ve noticed that neck tension has a negative effect on my fluency as well....

Mine has gotten way way worse these last few years. Now i can barely speak a word without blocking...

My stutter has gotten worse, my speaking ability has gotten better. Now I'm 35 and I'm not giving a shit about it. I stutter, but who care?...

Mine was really bad when I was about 7. Then it got better and now it’s gotten bad again (16)....
