I take Citalopram, soon to take some ADD meds which may (wild guess) have some impact on stutter. My Citalopram have had no dffect on it I believe. I've been stuttering more these past 6 months but a ...

Yea, i agree. This is what the valsalva technique is based on if youve ever heard of that. I wonder if anyone knows about any excercises you could do or pills you could take that will help relax your...

i'm sorry but this statement is highly inaccurate. most speech therapists will agree that pressure in the abdomen/lower diaphragm area is one of the main triggers for (severe) blocks, it is not a seco...

This is very true, a lot of people tell you to take a breath before speaking and this is actually bad advice for most 'blockers' The reason is that your lungs are always sort of floating around 60-70...

>you either choose to suppress these, or you choose to channel these I actually think this is far too simplistic a description of what emotional reactions are all about. :) But I'm not trying to ...

I go for a run outside. Best way to reset is to get a good sweat and come home tired....

you're arguing against a point i'm not even trying to make. i'm not saying "frustration" is the only natural, inherent response to a difficult situation - neither am i implying we are uncapable of cho...

I love metal but any type of music is cathartic to me, whatever I'm feeling at that moment. But exact same for me! Gym and gaming...

I'm not sure what exactly causes that, but I'll share what I've interpreted from my personal experiences :) . I stutter more often during moments when the quality of my thoughts is less. In these mome...

Ahhh if I only knew, I would do everything I could to control those factors. But I guess thinking positive always helps. When I'm happy, I tend to be almost fluent. As opposed to being mad, sad, sca...

Sure, it's taken the wrong way when one is already speaking/stuttering. It's such a personal thing to people and when anybody tells you to "slow down" then it can seem offensive. But, in hindsight, it...

You're right, I unwillingly mixed things up. Being able to control your speech rate is one step towards more fluent speech; being told to speak more slowly when one is stuttering has the opposite effe...

Telling people who stutter to speak more slowly won't work, it'll only make things worse as it adds to the pressure on the act of speaking, making it more likely for them to become disfluent. The best...

I also stutter. I can control my stutter if I calm myself and speak slowly but I find it to be taxing. From the way you describe your​ stutter, that you stutter more when stressed, think you should wo...

Currently having stuttering problems

Currently having stuttering problems Hi, so I'm currently 15 y/o right now, and I have this kinda weird stuttering problem. It all started last year, in 2016, when I was in grade 8. I still remem...

I know i would always stutter when i was nervous, but according to my friend, i always stutter....

It's your response to stressful situations that is likely not helpful to form fluent speech. I'm not sure if it's the same as putting tension on your vocal chords though....

Safe enviroment -> low stress -> no tension on vocal chords / not hitting stuttering threshold -> fluent speech. A very common thing in stuttering. The trick is to increase your safe envirome...
