Breathe in through your nose. Warm up your vocals chords by stretching out words in a slower manner when you're by yourself. Like the word 'Vroom," you would stretch it out like vvvvrooooooom. Rub you...

I’ve tried it before where I tell people that I stutter and bring it out to the open but it only makes it harder for me. My stuttering gets worst. What really helps my stuttering is taking deep breat...

I'm answering your reworded question. Original question answer is: I can't decide for u and don't limit yourself like other ppl have said. Re worded qtn: Maybe I should have worded my post differently...

My stuttering has been a rollercoaster for the last 15 years (I'm 28). Sometimes I would be perfectly fluent for several months, then I'd pause, get blocks, the letters of hard words change, from mild...

Breathing: keep the airflow going Slurring words as if drunk Just in case there was any confusion! Pretty common techniques but I always forget to apply...

Think about it in order to make a plan. Entertain *reasonable* contingencies, but don't daydream about weird shit or things you have no control over. The world is better at making weird shit than you ...

I think what you heard is correct, in that it is very common and quite possible nothing to worry about. But I would say that getting her evaluated will be great, anyways. Maybe it would just go away o...

Mental Imagery & Stuttering

Mental Imagery & Stuttering Over the course of a few years I've noticed some mental imagery going on when I'm stuttering or about to stutter. First image when I'm about to stutter on a word is s...

I would go to speech therapy and have this be a central focus. Unless you have tourettes, this is a learned involuntary behavior and have become automatic. But it can be slowly unlearned or rather, re...

I think I have acquired stuttering. I was very fluent up til the age of 8-9. I acquired it around 4th grade, gradually increased in severity, until it became noticeable. I have two self derived theori...

I try to lower the volume that I speak in. It seems to help lately and I've been using it more. ...

Taking control of a stutter takes work, persistence, more hard work and more hard work. For me, the McGuire program has been the key to gaining control. If $$ is an issue, try government funded therap...

I went to speech therapy myself and overtime and especially through high school it got a bit rough not to mention the situation at work. I realized that the more I thought about it the more anxious i...

I don’t stutter whenever I am imitating (doing an impression of) someone. Figured it out when I was having a bad stutter day and was good-naturedly making fun of a friend of mine who did something s...

I don't think I do any of that. Speech therapy has various techniques that might be efficient for you, though. That's a sort of "trick", I suppose....

I'm an adult and found my speech affecting my job, I went to the EVMS speech therapy class in Norfolk, VA. Changed my life 2 weeks and I have 100% CONTROL over my speech. I'm not perfect but I know ex...

View it as a way to practice your techniques. One thing I did in intensive speech therapy was just make tons of phone calls to random stores. I'm 27, and we're similar here - but seriously, is thi...

There are a lot of ways to deal with this issue. One of them is finding a strategy to use. You can use light contact or talk in a slow, smooth pace. There are many more strategies but it’s your choice...

Yeah, I think ideally a lot of what goes on in speech therapy adresses that (depending on the patient case, of course). That's what we need it for: It's one thing to say "get rid of this", it's anothe...

It will get better trust me. 16 was when I actually first stuttered and I'd never stuttered in my life before so I can relate to what you're going through. Those couple of years were bad as it was re...
