The Evolution of My Stutter

The Evolution of My Stutter Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with how my stuttering has evolved over the years. I know this might sound a bit unusual, but this is how it happened to me. ...

Yup I have to learn how to relax my body. That’s the main problem, I try to force my words out and end up messing up....

The trick is to take a moment and pause and *actually* relax your whole body. Don’t keep continually trying to force it. Think of it as there being a short gap where you let go of all tension, let go ...

Yup all that stuff happens I usually tap my leg when the blocks come. Thanks for the advice...

Just let them come, don't try to fight it. I imagine that you have tics when you block (contorting your face, tapping your foot, shaking your head, etc.). Stop them. You don't have full physical contr...

How Do You Deal With Stuttering Blocks?

How Do You Deal With Stuttering Blocks? I have been having intense blocks this past week? Do you guys have any tips on dealing with them?...

Mine has changed a lot… it used to be only occasional but very severe blocks. Like in the Kings Speech but less often. Then I figured out how to not have severe blocks, but now weirdly I have repeti...

9. YES. Sicknesses that settle in the throat area (strep, post nasal drip) lead to a significant and distressing relapse in blocking....

In my case I don’t fear public speaking but the blocks I have cause me trouble even though I want to let the other person know my input on things...

Same, my stutter is psychogenic and tied to my selective mutism, when im stressed I either go fully mute, or develop a stutter so bad I cant talk and eventually go mute, im actually mute/stuttering ri...

Thank you for your input. By going mute, I mean completely mute as in I’d never speak no matter who I’m with. It’s just not worth looking the way I do when I speak. My face freezes and twitches. My ey...

What type of stutter do I have? How can I fix it?

What type of stutter do I have? How can I fix it? I don’t know when did my stutter start. I speak 2 languages. I stutter so much less when I speak my native language ( but still stutter sometimes) . B...

Blocks are when no sound comes out. Prolongations are when a sound gets stretched: “prrrrrobably”...

I no longer repeat my words like St-st-st-stop I-i-i-i-it. Now It's silent. I make no noise until I can fully say the word. So my flow is very choppy and I can only say 1 word at a time... sometimes I...

Looking for novel ideas for requesting interview accommodations to answer interview questions? I am wondering what type of accommodations people have requested and implemented in the past that have ma...

It's really bad for me too. Also my blocks are often accompanied with facial tics...

Anything that helped you because for me it’s like I get stuck on one word and it’s pretty bad. 5 sec pause 💀...

I just had this situation happen over the weekend. A big group of folk out at a bonfire and I was asked where I was from. Was trying to say an hour 1.5 North West but began blocking in anticipation of...
