Prefer to be mute

Prefer to be mute I suffer from a medically induced stutter and when a certain level of stress boils up it's comes out fierce. This has gotten to the point that during these points I prefer to select...

Interesting. I suspect that there will be a certain subset of frustrated stutterers who would gladly volunteer for brain stimulation testing....

There is some kind of disruption between our thought and our speech mechanism. So I recommend experimenting with different speaking modalities, and zooming in on the modality that allows you to expres...

My therapist told me to write it down on paper, then tear it up and throw it over my shoulder. Next....

My late night boredom hobby is literally talking random sentences out loud to hear myself not stutter. It’s so comforting lmao...

For me, I discovered speech blocks happened because of my fear to actually stutter. A "normal" stutter will go like "st-st-st-s-ss-stutter" or "b-b-b-b-b-b-bread". Me fearing that others could actual...

As someone that was in similar situations for coupke decade, i can honestly say that you can overcome this. It needs a little work and little guidance, but with consistency and right attitude, you can...

I let my stutter free when I record on my podcast just Incase people who stutter hear and can gain the same confidence...

The recording yourself helps because the anxiety of the stammer makes me (not everyone) quite tense in certain situations, and as such, makes the blocking worse. So practicing, and recording myself de...

If you can describe it in more detail I think it will be interesting for a lot of people in this forum. Do you simply make breathing exercises or do you combine them with speaking sounds? How exact...

So… diaphragmatic breathing exercises, I record myself talking in certain situations to retrain my brain to normalise speaking in real life situations and to try to remove the fear, and I have adjuste...

trying not to worry about it and also elongating my vowels and taking slight pauses if I know I'm about to stutter is what helps me...

There are some new habits to develop that may address the root issue and reduce the blocks- before speaking, make normal eye contact, exhale, then begin slowly. Disclose, and practice voluntary repet...

This method works, 100%, but the problem is most of us are too damn shy to try it even with family....

You're not going to want to practice it because you don't want to do it. And it's not because you're lazy, it's because it sucks and nobody actually wants to talk like that. Also it doesn't work. When...

This is literally what I did when my brother made fun of my stutter. Yeah my mouth stutters, but these hands aren't....

Research desensitization and voluntary stuttering. Stutter on purpose in front of a mirror for a few weeks. Pay attention to any movements you have added on to the stutter and challenge yourself to le...

I'm sorry you felt that way. Be kind to yourself by allowing the stutter to happen. The end goal is what matters, and what people think of you is none of your business. When you start getting what y...

Stuttering is so individualistic. Step out of your comfort zone and just talk to people. If they mock/tease you, then that speaks more of them and NOT you. Life is for the living. Take this advi...

I do, yes. I always will have blocks but they're getting better each day. I only block when I think about blocking, but it's not like I block for 5-10 seconds, maybe a second. If fear controls me, th...
