For some reason I stutter less with spontaneous speech. By fluency shaping, do you mean that you alter the pronunciation of vowels and words to make them easier to say? One technique that does help ...

I can't speak for a job as a receptionist, but my dad knows someone who is a 911 operator, and he allegedly has a pretty severe stammer. And if you can be a 911 operator as a stutterer, you can defini...

No, I think that's silly. People doing physical rehab wouldn't ever consider such a thing, why should we? Ignoring your stutter won't make it go away. The less we speak, the less fluent we get. In t...

Even complete confidence and uncaring isn't enough to achieve total fluency for a stutterer. It will definitely raise fluency a lot, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't get rid of a stutter, like on a ...

Hard to say given I know next to nothing about the child. The one thing I'm not exactly sure of is relaxing his tummy. Maybe it's a global effort to reduce tension. Not sure. The easy onset + pause ...

>relaxing his tummy, easy onset, eye-contact. Pause time I feel like this might sound a bit old-fashioned. Maybe it's just that it was a long time since I was a kid and went to speech therapy, so ...

There is no quick fix or cheat to get by stuttering while introducing yourself. While I was at a smaller college I hated the introduction part so I know your pain. There were a few times where I even ...

Hey! I have a mainly anxiety based stutter though I imagine there is a genetic component to it as well such as the lack of blood flow to the broca you mention. I stuttered as a kid and saw the schools...

There is no quick fix 'hack' for a stutter. A lot of people don't like hearing it, but they need to. The best way to gain fluency (gain fluency, not 'cure'--there is no cure) is to accept that a stutt...

I haven’t taken the course but I read the manual on valsalva technique a few years ago. I think one of the useful things I took from it was to become more aware of laryngeal tension. It’s an area wh...

For anyone who has taken valsalva stuttering therapy, what’s been the most helpful thing that helped you overcome the view of blocks as “the brick wall”?

I have pretty much the exact same problem. Right now I have a block on saying my last name when we do introductions at the start of meetings at work - which happens all the time since at our meetings ...

>If it’s just simply psychological I don't think there's any science that points to that, but maybe you're referring to those stutterers who could stand to benefit from various behavioral training...

I’d say maybe look into some breathing exercises and some speech therapy techniques that could help with the blocks and try a find out some words you struggle with the most to practice with . But I ...

Diaphragmatic breathing: Breathe in for 2 seconds, out for 4 (one-mississippi, two-mississippi). Make sure your stomach is rising, *not your chest.* Keep your hands on your stomach and chest to make s...

Can anyone post their speech exercises in the comments?

Can anyone post their speech exercises in the comments? So I have my last big interview Monday in Florence, KY so that I can move out of Florida and move in with my gf in Kentucky. I noticed recently ...

I have this problem too. You just need to practice, honestly. Read aloud for a few minutes a day and record yourself doing so. Practice with people in real life next. You don't have to do it all the t...

yes i know that breathing. i think it's called coastal or diaphragm breathing. you breathe in through nose and breathe out through mouth. that really calms you down. in any situation. and speaking as ...

I went to a bit of group speech therapy for people with stutter, which I highly recommend if your country offers any, and I learned a couple of techniques. The first one they called “on-time” which ...
