I’ve given cards like this to many clients, both stuttering and various other reasons as well. It works as well as you use it. People are more kind than you think but disclosure of an impediment is ne...

A few ideas: first explain in text that you stutter and you prefer to doing business through text for that reason, but you can speak by phone if they like. Just get that out there so when you don’t t...

As for a proper name? Dunno. My speech therapist called them gap, filler or starter words/sounds when I was 8 or 9. I still rely on them at 45....

Do you have a term for this thing?

Do you have a term for this thing? In order to kickstart a sentence or sustain my flow, I often use certain set words and phrases such as "like" or "i mean" or "okay so". Do we have a term for this te...

S is the absolute worse for me. I have the horrible habit of saying the word "it's" before a word that I can feel I'm going to stutter on. For some reason it helps but it's unnatural....

First Cent: Desire is only a bad thing when it consumes you, or you need that thing **right the eff now**. In my experience, especially relating to my stutter, my desire to be more fluent is not a pro...

For me it was improving my mental health in general and swapping words. I don't stutter too much these days, so I just swap here and there. It helps me to keep the conversation flowing and avoid that ...

This sounds dumb but talk to yourself for 20ft man day every day consistently, maybe when you’re driving or something. And write down your stutter words, write down one a day, and repeat that word 100...

Similar to what the original commenter said, basically aspirate the hard sounds slightly before you pronounce them. "Thank you" becomes more like "^(hh)Thank you." "Totally" becomes something like "^(...

Hey, sorry for the late response. I can't really say specifically what's helped with the PhD program except understanding when presenting your work at conferences, etc., that you're essentially the "e...

Great comment! In reply to your message, this is my attempt to create simple instructions to apply to speech. **Simple instructions:** 1. Self-confirm that avoiding your desire or urge to immediatel...

I've been stuttering since I was 10. Now 18 and it sucks ass but I gotta suck it up and stop hating myself for it. I've done speech therapy with multiple people over the years nothing seems to really ...

How can I ACTUALLY stop stuttering?

How can I ACTUALLY stop stuttering? I’m new to this sub. I’m 16 and have stuttered since I was 6, so for 10 years. From 6 to 7 years old I stuttered a little but it went away, but as of the age of 7, ...

Let's try. 1. As I've already stated, there are no medications brought to market for stuttering. 2. Medications that have been through more extensive trials, such as Ecopipam, have been withdrawn fr...

Yes! I’ll get it out perfectly and clearly and then they want me to repeat and I’m like “uhhh…I….the…yeah”. Sometimes I give up and say something entirely different from my first sentence but that’s m...
