Well maybe they should both be treated at the same time. Or any order I suppose would be effective. Because it’s a whole system and I don’t think it would require a proper order. More like a mix of tr...

I'm not fluent yet (I recently started working on my speech) but focusing on overcoming anxiety and fear of stuttering is the main reason for improvements in my fluency....

I don't feel less intelligent as my speech has never affected my academic marks, only the amount of hard work I put in has. However, sometimes I do feel that others, usually strangers, perceive me as ...

**"How much of becoming more fluent was learning strategies to prevent stuttering"** Whenever I'm speaking to someone while visualizing that I'm alone, then I don't stutter anymore so I'd say 100% le...

I think you are right, especially in the opposite way. Most stutterers I think started out evaluating stuttering negatively (shame, fear, guilt that they stutter) and after many years they think posit...

I wonder though if there is a natural progression though. That someone that thinks negatively about their stuttering must first think positive about it, then after a while will find the ability to thi...

You are right. In my definition, I want to approach both 'negative and neutral/positive' and call them incorrect evaluation to be more clearly and make the conversation simpler....

Stuttering is not wrong. Yes! The problem lies in the incorrect evaluation. What elements consists of the incorrect evaluation, do you think?...

In my experience, if the fight or flight level what you said, is.. for example level 5 when I stutter. Then the fight or flight response is level 10 when I speak stutterfree. Because of the incorrect ...

Yes! Researchers focus on negative evaluation more than necessary. Positive evaluation of stuttering also results in, what you said, expectancy. That's why I made sure to write 'incorrect evaluation' ...

I'm sure we've all been though it in some way. The worst was when I had just finished high school. I was at a store and a girl one or two years younger than me was probably working part time but spok...

Does anyone feel less “intelligent” because of they’re speech?

Does anyone feel less “intelligent” because of they’re speech? When I’m supposed to train someone at work, I sometimes get the feeling that the person I’m training might feel like I am a bad trainer b...

Just go for it and do it. I have a pretty severe stutter when I am nervous and/or tired, but pushing myself to do it every time made me to have a giant progress in how I am able to present myself and ...

How do I stop the negative self-judgment every time I stutter?

How do I stop the negative self-judgment every time I stutter? It seems like my mind is constantly evaluating: is my speech good or not? I use some fluency techniques right now.. If I speak well,...

When I did University, I also had to do presentations (my major had communication competences). My lecturer explained to me that I first should try it out in front of the class. Afterwards, we conclud...

Yea bro, I think what’s happening is that you felt so rushed to speak and pressured, that all your thoughts couldn’t be expressed at once. And it created a bottle-neck effect, where your words couldn’...

I see. So to sum up what you said: **Situation:** I stutter on a letter I haven't done before **Obsession (trigger):** "I will do compulsion" Note: read [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WA...

I see, I suppose I am just really hyperfocused on those that take his speech as an example of him being "senile". I'm fully neutral on Biden as president, as I don't even live in the US; but I guess I...

It's not about forgetting things. Stuttering doesn't just affect fluency and it has many ways of presenting itself. When I have a sentence in my head, I can often feel a few words ahead if I'll even b...

YES. People constantly call the man senile, but ANYONE who stutters will instantly recognize that any time he messes up a sentence, or structures a sentence weirdly/awkwardly, it's because a block got...
