For me it helps to practice saying individual words when I’m alone. It helps to “sync up” my brain and speech. I can physically say any word, the problem is with my brain sequencing the words when I t...

If you mean tricks to manage in conversation, then practice back up techniques. Things like having a partially sing-song or monotone voice to get you past a block, or back up replacement words can hel...

It seems like you aren’t that interested in trying speech therapy but I would encourage you to see someone because it sounds like you don’t have the most current techniques. There is no cure for stutt...

It is a good tool to practice with because it helps slow down your rate of speech. I also add breathing techniques into it. I read out loud several articles so my brain can get used to this rate of ...

Yes it helps alot... if used correctly. I use it as a practice tool as I read out loud. I also some times use it to help me make a phone call. Just don't expect it to be a cure-all magic pill in a rea...

Actually I'm not. I'm interested in knowing about what happens after you complete these programs. I have been to one recently and have a hard time keeping up with the practice now that it's over. I gu...

Thanks for your response. I was asking because I went for one such program at the beginning of this year. Like you guys said, it's a lot of practice. And it worked when I was there. I was almost fluen...

I have watched their videos on youtube. Everyone had different problems but only one solution. Take a deep(very deep) breath to speak out words one by one. Didn't like it. Sorry....

Yep, everyone has dysfluencies in their speech. Feel fortunate that it's very mild. It sounds like certain situations are triggers for you- like stressful situations. Personally I try to focus on dia...

I have been through a few of these and I can say they absolutely don't tackle the emotional aspects of stuttering. I am still working on that. Physically? Yes these programs can change your stutter......

Hi, the same with me. I can give a presentation for as long as I want, without the feeling that my stuttering is holding me back. I think it's because I'm speaking loudly and articulate the words prec...
