I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone a lot more since Monday that has helped quite a lot. In my line of work I have a few clients who I’m quite comfortable with and I don’t stutter or have ...

This is great!  I noticed this many years ago and would start anything, start repetition, any sound to just start, usually a breath out with sound and then let them morph into the sound or word I was ...

Very on point but I wonder if it is followed through?  Do these SLP's still give advice on how to stutter or stutter easier?  Like elongation, etc which still leads down a path of correctiveness even ...

Sure, “disfluency” might be recognized by the FDA as something that needs attention. But, that doesn’t mean stuttering at its core is wrong. If you stutter with no negative feelings or physical tensio...

If people find fluency enhancing strategies like this successful, by all means! I just think that more often than not, this can mask our true speech patterns and is not sustainable long term. It’s eas...

Same. I think when stuttering is out in the open, it's supposed to remove tension in the room. I doubt any stutterer would think you were lying about stuttering. It's not something anyone lies about...

“We all stutters sometimes” is annoying and I explain that it a speech impediment. But “I’m also a stutterer” is more tricky because some people are but it doesn’t show except in certain situations....

Yes this helps in my understanding. Are there studies that i can join? Or a site where i can find the most update info. Im not sure how i feel about curing stuttering, but i would like to make mine fl...

When I was in my early twenties, I took a 2-week workshop in Italy that changed my life. Basically the teacher asked us whether we used stuttering to avoid things that scared us. I realized immediatel...

this is the funniest shit to me because I am a terrible liar and it's always a last min choice between honesty and fluency. I try to only do it with people I know I won't see again like working custom...

A feeble attempt at Trauma Bonding in the most disgusting way to establish something in common. It may be soothing to them to attempt at something that bonds us together but it’s a feeble effort to cr...

No they are very supportive. I am guessing its probably a subconscious insecurity since I havent really felt worried about it, it judt happens....

That makes sense thank you. I guess maybe subconsciously I try to stop it but I feel pretty open about it so im not sure...

I prefer to pretend to be mute than to stutter

I prefer to pretend to be mute than to stutter I'm 24 years old and i've been a stutterer since i was 8, more specifically dyslalia, my jaw locks, i make a lot of force and i can't get out a specific ...

Better. What's funny these past 2 years I've had a career switch which has caused me the most mental anxiety of my life and through it... totally forgot about my stutter. Literally. It rarely occured ...

How do I stop stuttering when talking to people?

How do I stop stuttering when talking to people? When I’m alone, I talk perfectly. I don’t stutter at all, just like I never had a stutter. But when I’m talking to someone, I stutter. How do I talk...

Good on you for taking the time to ask. I personally prefer one to just act normal and let me finish. Usually at work, people do. There have been times when I'm ordering something or at the pharmacy, ...

I love this mindset. Through university my stutter got significantly worse because I /wanted/ to speak fluently and confident, just to prove I could be an effective communicator. I could make all the ...

On the contrary. Not everyone feels this way. As long as it’s acknowledged in a respectful way, this could lead to a better connection. Some people feel at ease knowing they no longer have to try not ...

That makes a lot of sense to me thank you. But I am not sure how you conclude that deconditioning yourself to the stimuli that produces a stutter is not an effective way to go about it. If this is ind...
