It's not actually weird but very common in people who stutter. You describe really well how you can be pretty fluent with friends and people you know but not with strangers or large groups. The more c...

Seeing a speech therapist is always a good idea if you want to become more fluent. There are a lot of different therapy approaches out there, stretching words (also called prolonged speech) is one of ...

My speech therapy lesson

My speech therapy lesson Hey guys, so I keep seeing posts of people looking for some help with stuttering. I am a mild stutterer in nervous situations but I am fluent around people I’m comfortable wit...

It helped me, too. When I'm silently whispering/articulating the words to myself before speaking, I speak more fluently (of course that works better when e.g. you're using the phone because in a real ...

I found something.

I found something. Hello I am Abdullah a Jordanian living in Saudi Arabia, 17 Well yesterday I was in class studying A2 Biology, sitting in the front raw seat, and I was to nervous and afraid to ask f...

I had the same issue. I have to talk on the radio at work and all of a sudden I started getting worse. So I started using easy onsets and practicing with my wife at home (simulating radio chat) and t...

Please don't avoid words or speaking situations. All forms of avoidance will feed your anxiety. A better way of dealing with blocks would be to learn easy onsets to prevent blocks from occurring, or ...

Yes, me too, I use easier words and I take a deep breath and on the exhale, I begin speaking....

I completely understand all of the frustrations you have as I've felt the same or similarly. The only way your stutter is ever going to get better is if you actively work on it. What step(s) are yo...

Bravo USSHunter ! Stuttering will test you. One day the old sensation to push and force will try to seduce you. Practice makes permanent- use the word often and slay the dragon. Make 'remember' an...

USSHunter, "remember" used to kick my butt. Ironically, I would say "do you recall?" instead !\*! I had a phobia of "remember." With /r/, your tongue is way back on the top of your mouth. You wa...

If you go to speech therapy you'll learn that you do have some measure of control over with it. I don't know why you lied to your boss either. Personally, I have a severe stutter. However, when I slow...

I don't think he had bad attentions but at the end of the day I don't entirely agree that it's even appropriate to talk to me about it, especially after telling him I can't control it. I'm weird in th...

> This whole thing caught me off guard as nobody has ever really approached me about my stuttering before. I hate to say it, but welcome to the real world. I don't think you should be clamming up ...

Any type of program where they want to dramatically change the way you speak is not sustainable, especially not in only 12 days...

I took the course three years ago or so -- it's difficult to say what I think of the course after that period of time. I still stutter, quite a lot in fact at times, so it isn't the cure-all that they...

Interesting. I saw a reference to retraining muscles on their site too. Not something I’ve heard of. If you are interested in the research behind stuttering therapies, there is a systematic review he...

Yeah I definitely have the same suspicions. Good point about the lack of published studies, I haven't thought of that. Out of curiosity i spoke to a pathologist from there and she told me the main thr...

Try talking the whole ride to work. Like you're making a podcast that you're not recording. If you're like me you won't stutter at in and it will give you a sense of fluency for when you get there. No...

Therapy will help. But what's important is your breathing. Try to keep a slow relaxed breathing style. I wont say it's easy as it's not as we all get inside our own heads. Oh and dont be afraid to res...
