I've had success with when my stutter acts up, to take a deep breath for like 2-4 seconds before continuing. I mostly do this with people Im more confortable around. Ive also has success speaking slo...

I have no experience, but I'm studying speech therapy, so I heard stuff from my professor and from stutterers. One of the best techniques is probably the pull out, taught in stuttering modification ...

The stuttering does improve as you age. I had a severe stutter that I finally got control over. It improved throughout the years but was a real awful pain in the ass for far too long. I did it without...

I used to really struggle with saying my name when responding to being asked my name. The trick that fixed it for me was thinking 'my names is' in my head then saying my name out loud, rather than jus...

I'm a left hander who was forced to write with his right hand in infant school, I didn't stutter before I went to school, but it developed in my first year at school, and it was awful. I stopped writi...

I love all of the suggestions on here. Find an alternate word! Try sliding into it or breathing out the H sound first?...

I actually read his entire book and watched all the videos back in 2022. I completely agree with his explanation of the **Valsalva response** — it made sense to me. I even followed the exercises he li...

Focusing less on “getting it right” and more on staying relaxed and allowing yourself the time you need. Easier said than done, but this shift in mindset can reduce tension. A soft exhale or light con...

I’m a speech therapist, and what you’re describing, with your thoughts racing ahead and getting tangled in speech, is something I hear a lot. One thing that can help is shifting focus externally inste...

You’re definitely not alone — this kind of situation trips up a lot of people who stutter or freeze, even if they’re totally fine speaking elsewhere. Roll call can feel weirdly high-pressure because i...

“th” sounds require precise tongue placement at the front of the mouth, and that can increase tension, especially when you’re anticipating a block. For “th,” thinking more about reducing overall arti...

we work a lot on light contact to try to stop the block before it happens. also easy onset, so i'm taking a breath and then easing into the word there- but it's not very effective for me with th sound...

thank you!! i do speech therapy already but some strategies just don't work to get through the stutter...

You could try switching to “thanks” if that’s easier to get out than “thank you.” Or even a simple smile and a nod can communicate appreciation when you’re feeling stuck. Sometimes giving yourself per...

The fact that you’ve done this job successfully for two years shows that your stuttering doesn’t define your ability to connect with callers. Focus on communication rather than fluency — people care f...

Breathing? Exercise? Why? I take the B1 and that's it. The words simply come out much more fluidly. If I used to get stuck 100 times, now it's 1. Maybe even 0.5. And with much less mental effort (I n...

When i was in school, i just said “here”. Everyone understood obviously. As a maturer person now, I’d say don’t avoid the “good morning” as you aren’t actually solving any problems by avoiding words. ...

Okay cool, well if they’re calling you, you have control over the conversation and these people are calling to seek help/advice so they have to listen to you to get what they need. In that case, you h...

It definitely helps a bit. I (20M) just started therapy a couple of months ago. I’d say that therapy, so far, is good to get strategies that can help in public or times when stuttering. The hard part ...

Until you truly understand as to why a fluent speaker doesn’t stutter then you cannot achieve my success. I did not use any techniques or strategies. I had to understand the concept of neuroplasticity...
