There aren't "types of stutters". People have different patterns and have learned/developed different strategies to avoid stuttering. It's not a conscious decision and often develops when we're young....

There's no delusion and it's definitely not easy. But if you want to learn to stop blocking you can learn to stop blocking. I have and I know several others who have too. It's not a forgone conclusion...

Apparently, there is debate over whether blocking is primary stuttering or a secondary behavior. But if it's the latter, then blocking is stuttering that you do when you don't want to stutter. That is...

Blocking is not a core disfluency behavior. It's something you're doing, even if it feels involuntary. That's not saying it's your fault; it's not (for a variety of reasons), but nobody is making you ...

Neurons and Stuttering

Neurons and Stuttering I found this video the other day and I do believe there’s a correlation between the neurons in our brain that make us stutter. Stuttering is really interesting because I don’t d...

I have iron deficiency. Does it mean that is is linked with my severe block stuttering?...

There are situations where I’ve thought it was this, yet I still stutter, even when saying just a few words....

The only realistic suggestion I have is **good** therapy. You need a systematic way to work through both of these issues. The hard part is finding good therapy. But overall you will want to work on ...

Ok, i am going to land on both sides of this. I regularly have blocks where i can't get any words out (and this only happens when speaking slowly). Also, sometimes when speaking slowly, I'll stutter...

I wanted to found a business, ssma, i recorded a call to improve my speech, i could not start the record, i was legit paralyze, i can't see anything stuttering related if i don't know the ending (must...

Thank you very much for providing me with excellent information. When I talk to strangers, I don’t stutter as much, but when I speak at home, I feel a burden, become very anxious, experience extreme b...

Honestly I don’t know how I feel about it, I think it depends on the person and the situation. I certainly don’t want to be stuck in a speech block that’s going nowhere when it’s completely obvious w...

That poor dude, everyone just felt bad for him right there. There's nothing worse and more humiliating which would make me stutter more....

During a best man wedding speech, I once stammered on my SOs first name and everyone in there probably thought I forgot my own SOs name. I regrouped rather quickly and avoided embarrassment. But lead...

When someone asks me for my birthday, I block super hard mixed with a stutter. So either I stutter real bad or take 10 seconds trying to say it without stuttering. It is so amazing....

I wonder if you can ask the teacher to help you avoid that humiliation again and exempt you from public speaking? I've only had to do a couple of presentations throughout my life and then for some rea...

Always tough for me. I block and my name starts with a B. Plus being put on the spot when someone asks your name makes it worse....

Well I can’t guarantee that this will work for everyone, but for me it has worked. Also it is not easy, it takes a lot of practice and I was really persistent. Basically I trained myself to be able ...

Presentations

Presentations Hi everyone! I’m a 17 year old in high school I have a 8 minute presentation for government as my final for the class. The thing is I usually don’t get too nervous about presentations in...

Does anyone else write/type what they want to say?

Does anyone else write/type what they want to say? Well, exactly what it says on the tin. But also, those that do have you seen a increase in stuttering tendencies, did you become reliant on it? I sta...
