Recently I’ve been allowing myself to stutter. I went to see the director of a company to speak about work experience and I decided just to stutter because I realized it would be easier to take long...
Nope. You should not engage in voluntary stuttering. It will make it worse. What one should engage in is speaking despite the stutter when you have to. It's the worst thing to go out of your way to st...
“Less” and “won’t work” aren’t very descriptive. I said “less impactful”. If you engage in voluntary stuttering, your stutter will impact your life less by making it easier for you to express your...
I tried to stutter more on purpose once. But my stutter is very mild and very situation + anxiety dependent, so I went days without stuttering and forgot about doing it. Then a situation comes where...
If you do this for the purpose of stuttering less it won't work though ...
For reference, I grew up in the 80’s in “nice” town in CT and I was a shy girl, so that may explain some differences? Honestly, it makes me furious that I’ve learned how to “speak” again, and so many...

My answer is finding **good** therapy. If you're blocking now and you weren't before, for some reason you are more worried or fearful or unwilling to show any stuttering. Try to find some safer speaki...
Stand in front of a mirror, make eye contact with yourself and do voluntary repetitions....
Ahh I sympathize with you, I understand it’s very difficult. Practicing staying in the moment when you feel the feelings will help you master them quicker. Look up gradual exposure....
Probably try what the other person said though. Exposure is the best way to help when it comes to stuttering. Some meds can help but it’s not a full proof solution without getting out there and talkin...
