I would recommend therapy if it is available. A good course imo is something that is a mix of desensitisation and techniques like soft starts and cancellations. I did a 2 week course when I was 18 and...

Appreciate the video bud. I do the deep breath thing as well. A lot of the times I do have to "reset" myself and actively think about breathing because I may stumble somewhere. But yea, practice pract...

I think everyone on here has had a similar experience and can relate. Try to focus on moving forward and NOT rehashing this in your mind and torturing yourself. What I have found very helpful is diaph...

I see. The transition between a voiceless sound (like “h”) and a voiced sound (e.g. vowels) is one place that stuttering can happen a lot. This is because the vocal folds are going from not vibrating ...

I’m curious, are you producing the “h” sound but struggling to move past it? It could be that you are struggling with the transition to the vowel that follows the “h”, but that it end up feeling tha...

Thanks, I'll try it. I already know that I can't do a deep breath into my belly if I'm sitting or especially if I'm standing up straight. Maybe this phenomenon also can be improved by inhaling salt....

There’s lots of things you can try. Techniques that some people find helpful are: prolonged speech (I find this helps with my blocking), soft contacts and easy onsets. Some people also find self-adve...
