Now I'm trying to stop avoiding stuttering. If I feel that my stuttering is here I just release this feeling, can stack a bit but overall it's working for me. The second hack for myself is building th...

Thanks for sharing. Blurting is like having your intention clearly define. There is no place for doubt so you don´t stutter. Same with swearing. I totally agree with you. My take is: to trust your s...

Why not? The more fluent a stammer becomes isn’t success? Sure you can never cure a stammer but you can definitely become more fluent with consistent practice and pushing yourself out of your comfort ...

Eye contact! Definitely makes a big difference especially when combined with beginning slowly on a regular *exhale*. On your own, practice in mirror by doing voluntary repetitions (h-h-hello, my n-...

It's incredible how much the "preamble"/allowing yourself to stutter makes a difference...

That’s actually what happened to me at university - I was legitimately all alone and basically forced to introduce myself to everyone. I didn’t stutter, once after 2 months, for 2 full years. Also at ...

This is interesting because it’s not my experience. I stutter regardless of other peoples speech. I even stutter when I’m alone (learning with Pimsleur Method). The weird thing for me is that when pe...

In theory, yes but it doesn't work that way for me. Whenever I reset i have to start the struggle again and it takes just as long if not more....

it's a multi-factorial problem as you may know but remember there is no magic cure and part of the solution is going outside your comfort zone, so that would start with small interventions during meet...

Is this the optimal way to deal with a block? When you hold your breath you're reinforcing to your brain that this is the way to deal with blocks. The moment you get into a block isn't it better to ...

Hey just a piece of advice... maybe next time when you are feeling muted or afraid of speaking (because of stuttering or whatever) try to be **mute on purpose**. It will wear off the anxiety. When you...

I want to improve my stuttering. I pose a (non-medical) question. If we don't speak or think the word stutter or fluency for the next 5 years, will it reduce tension, the experience of loss of contro...

I'm pretty sure your stuttering has worsened because of your fear of stuttering in the workplace. The same thing happened to me when I was nervous about my visa interview for my masters abroad. I hav...

Medicalized words such as anxiety, depression - isolation is an actual human problem haha it causes a lot of issues psychologically (why do u think in prison they put ppl in solitaire confinement). P...

When you get stuck on a word, you can slam with your fist on the table and then say it. This works surprisingly well for me. I started this "technique" quite recently and I don't care what people ...

Everybody in the world has blocks they don’t attach significant meaning to it and they don’t get in their head before speaking (did u see Carey price recently at the nhl draft??). Try speaking to your...

I have gotten further with exposure therapy. Like I engage with cashiers more now and Ive been getting better at fluent small talk....

I actually didn’t provide more context because I find it more helpful with statements like that , to really think about what they mean to you. He would say a lot of stuff like this and wouldn’t give m...

Also block stuttering here I don't know if thats an option for you, but I used to sing along with music on my ears (at home in privacy of course, don't want to sing "my heart will go on" while shoppi...

This called modeling. It's when you, like you did, model a person in the way that maybe he thinks, he feels and he behaves in such situation. You imitate him and then tada your stutter disappears. Mod...
