You are making a lot of posts asking questions I feel pretty sure you’ve seen the answers to. What you have to do is hard, but you can start right now by speaking with voluntary repetitions while loo...

When I started going to therapy, this was exactly my question when I was creating my goals. Should I move forward in managing it or should I move forward in somehow slowly recovering from it? I based ...

Love this post, thank you for sharing! I had a similar idea a few times, like should I just let it go and let repetitions happen? But I must admit I always chicken out when it comes to actually doing...

Stuttering feels so bad because we try to avoid stuttering at all cost, but as we’ve experienced, the more your try to resist stuttering, the worse it gets. This is a vicious cycle that you want to co...

Can I ask you what do you by stuttering on purpose? Today I tried and I can't...

I’d say yes, if your comfortable showing your stutter then yes I’d be a great idea. Especially on this subreddit as it’s other stutterers who’ll see it. I’m sure it’ll inspire some who have the same l...

— Read a lot. It helps to know synonyms ;-) —Learn foreign languages. Because sometimes, sounds that we cannot say in our language, we can say in another. Plus, it's okay to struggle with words when ...

This is exactly why letting others hear brief voluntary repetitions is so helpful in reducing blocks. Sounds like “just accept it” is working to reduce your blocks so that’s great!...

Disclose your stutter, and then, this is very important: voluntarily stutter in the beginning. Once you voluntarily stutter, you should feel yourself easing up and your speech flowing better. Start sp...

I know it’s cliche, but things like meditation and breathing exercises work to keep to calm and grounded, although it requires bit work to narrow down what’s right for you. As the other commenter pr...

Make sure to be nice to yourself, your stutter is not under your control. It’s also not your fault it happens. The more frustrated and upset you get at yourself/ your stutter the worse it’s going to g...

Check out my recent post here to learn more about my experience. Ultimately, if you block, it’s likely bc of fear of others hearing your repetitions…so doing the BVR helps trick your brain. When sp...

Brief voluntary repetitions… I understand those words but I don’t know what you mean. I’m intrigued, can you give an example so I can try it out?...

I used to be there! Once I became brave enough to introduce brief voluntary repetitions into my speech and see no one was bothered by it, my blocking essentially disappeared! It was amazing, and man...

Sometimes. Definitely dependent on situation. People I barely know and will probably never see again - yeah I try to hide it. Other than that, I allow myself to stutter....

Nope. Its a way to accept what is not even there. It just reinforces that you are insecure about your stutter and its a compulsive behavior. It is borderline OCD. There are 1000s of opportunities to ...

I allow myself too and if people comment on it or try to finish my words for them i have gotten better at putting them in their place and telling them off... i also block as well not just stutter it i...

In fact, letting others hear your voluntary repetitions is the way to *tangibly* accept that you are a stutterer. Agsin, read my post which includes links to highly credentialed SLP’s, who specialize...

I edited it for clarification. Also, read my post explaining it in more detail. But ultimately, before I allowed others to hear my repetitions, I did tons of hiding and had literally written my res...

Of course I let myself stutter. What am I supposed to do if I'm talking to someone (or worse, making a presentation) and I start stuttering? Just stop talking? It happens. Anyone that has a problem ...
