why don't I stutter when I read or talk to myself?

why don't I stutter when I read or talk to myself? Today I decided to read out loud. It helped me a lot to understand what I read and, above all, I realized that I don't stutter. In my case, I only st...

Ok. So real talk here. As a fellow stutterer, did I sleep with escorts? Yes plenty in my 20's. I also got some free action one night stands etc but not all the time as I struggled in the bar / club / ...

Dude, you put in the work on yourself and it sounds like it paid off in spades! As a speech therapist who used to have a pretty severe stutter, I love hearing from others about what they thought was t...

So if I were you, I would find a way to stop relying on the boosters because it will always require you to keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Like I said, I still rely on boosters, but on...

Not sure if this will help. but here’s what worked for me—I started paying attention to what triggered my stuttering: What is the common denominator in stutter triggers? For example, we might speak f...

The word “choosing” is not the most accurate. We have chosen to block in the same way someone “chooses” a harmful romantic partner to cope with something else unbearable. The academic research is p...

As someone who struggled to say my name for decades, realizing *why* has been a major help. If you have hard, silent blocks and have developed a habit of word switching or avoiding, any unavoidable w...

Been there, done that. Most of the time, first name is enough. Don't push yourself with the whole name if it's not necessary. So that takes away half of the problem. Now, your first name for sure has ...

I find the less I’m thinking about not stuttering the less I do. It’s what we do trying not to stutter that makes us stutter, we play a nasty trick on ourselves....

Yes, being a student at college and university can be quite challenging as a stutterer because people are often asked to speak up. I was constantly praying that the teacher wouldn’t ask me anything or...

So, regarding overcoming fears and needs that drag us down, make it a strength. I struggled with this all my life, but after going through HELL, I just got tired of it and I’m like “what’s the point o...

I agree with you. Learned blocks is another manifestation of stuttering. Somehow PWS noticed that delaying uttering words makes easy perception on the audience. Attempts to interrupt the blocks transf...

I used to think the same, that blocking was the automatic behavior, but when I tried to “unblock” and realized I could, and that beneath there is a repetitive stutter! I don’t know how to explain how ...
