No worries, sorry that my last comment came across so dismissive, I was too direct That's great that's great it's helped you and you found something that personally helped!  Personally what helped...

Thanks for sharing, can absolutely relate to your experience. I'm in the U.S. and have been around a few decades longer than yourself, but I still vividly remember the fear of being called on in sch...

How do you do exposure therapy with stuttering? What does it involve? How does it work? ...

I still don't know how to fix my stuttering, but I don't surrender. Now I'm trying herbal medicine. I would like to try PTSD treatments too (since I think trauma is involved). I try to push myself out...

My SLP explained that stuttering, especially bad blocks can trigger our flight, fight or freeze response. Our conscious thought processes take a back seat while our body tries to react to what it perc...

Practice voluntary repetitions (in mirror, on phone) Begin slowly, on an exhale and with eye contact Disclose when possible...

Personal experience is that there is no substitute to taking action. I spent six months training my subconscious to get out of freeze response when talking to others. Here’s a brief overview of things...

Use visualization and imagine speaking fluently. Imagine driving a huge tractor or yak and leveling every thing —mounds, houses whatever and speak in the same way. Practice intentional stuttering. ...

I agree. Confidence and exposure is the key. For me personally i find that the more i talk the better my stutter gets. If i go for prolonged periods without taking its not good for me. I also use a vi...

First Practice in situations that you find comfortable. Try to voluntarily stutter in the most easy and comfortable way you can. I wish I could show you how I stutter comfortably. Take your time. Then...

It might be fear of judgement that’s causing your subconscious to go into freeze mode. It might’ve started because of the perceived importance of the speaking situation (meeting or presentations at wo...

Actially, if you have hard silent blocks, there is a one size fits all way to address it. I know bc I’ve spoken to dozens of people who all say nearly identical things about their blocking, eye conta...

If you have blocks, the best practice is to let others hear voluntary repetitions....

Phone calls! Practicing alone at home does nothing for me because I’m actually an incredible speaker alone lol. I’m a gifted speaker in general (can you imagine how much of a curse stuttering has be...

Desensitization worked for me. Especially when women started looking at me like I was a super confident guy who wasn’t fearing society’s stigma towards stuttering. Really helped my self-esteem!...

What do you think about Desensitisation from stutter? (I.e getting less sensitive to your stutter by speaking more despite of stuttering) Do you think it is helpful?

For a few months, while blocking, I bit my cheek and got ulcers. I consciously stopped doing this because ulcers suck. Generally try to stop pushing your tongue up against your teeth. This will not h...

I literally could not talk on the phone for years. Every time it rang I had a full blown panic attack. Desensitization is the key. I see you’re doing some practicing. Step it up a bit by calling a fri...

Personally, the quieter i am, the more i stuttered. I used to go days without speaking to anyone, it was horrible the first time i say something after those days. What helped me the most was reading o...

This is definitely good advice. Once you're comfortable stuttering with people that know you (and know you stutter), the next step is to go out and try it with complete strangers, like employees at a ...
