I know how you feel. It’s not just practicing speech but implementing new speech patterns into your life. Just speaking like you’ve always done won’t do the trick unfortunately. I mean techniques that...

Yeah, I believe that I should kind of "push" myself so I speak more with people. I realized that fixing the issue "mechanically" is pointless. (I tried practicing words which I often get stuck on, but...

It took me… 8 full years of ‘no that persons wrong’ to posts like this to go ‘you know what… they’re right.. I have to accept it and desensitize myself to when it does happen and to move on with my wo...

People who stutter would do well to inform themselves as much as possible about those who overcame their stutter. It seems to be much less about strategies like using “slow easy speech,” like we may ...

What would you do if you stop stuttering today?

What would you do if you stop stuttering today? I was thinking about this today. I feel I would just go outside and have a conversation with a random stranger about anything for long as I can....

So ‘stuttering’ the act itself is not ur issue, everybody stutters or bobbles time to time and often in anxiety provoking situations such as ‘I’m going on a date or I am asking a person out, I hope I ...

Do you mean speech blocks or really the bodily fight flight or freeze response that comes due to fear? The former: Quickest (simple but often hardest) way is by totally stop resisting any negative fe...

Great reply! It wasn’t until I started working on fear and the mental aspect that I really saw significant improvement in my stutter. My therapist used to say “pretend you’re reading aloud in a roo...

Very good question. A very important question as well! The thing is this: We anticipate (negatively) because we sense some form of a threat. We do not negatively anticipate something, if we d...

Hey! I'm on a PC now, so I have a better way of explaining what I meant. I can't stand explaining things through my phone's keyboard. Sorry if this is going to get a bit long. I can get quite pass...

AHH love the stars wars reference! So essentially I just need to talk to people more and if I feel the anxiety that I don't want to talk to people then I should do it anyway. Like I get sweaty and ...

Just want to second how crucial exposure therapy is. On the opposite of this, if you want to talk and decide not to because you might stutter that further reinforces your anxiety around talking. Now ...

"... not from a jedi." Lol. Seriously, though, yes. Anxiety is just a voice in your head tricking you into believing a lot of unhelpful u happy stuff. Anxiety tricks you into believing that somethin...

we're just starting out, but you are free to join in, although much of the activity will be lawyers specific, i'd say much of the advice/help would apply to any corporate environment...

Anxiety or overthinking can do lots of weird things. A lot of people report lessening or even overcoming their stutter after overcoming their fear of speaking - their fear of stuttering. Im the sa...

1. I read about a concept that is called "blackout" that occurs when you are about to stammer some people tend to go unconscious. You describe it pretty well youself. It´s a way of escaping or not dea...

guess what. you go through it. good job. continue going through tough speaking situations and you will gain more experience and confidence...

What helped me was getting speech therapy. The focus of which was to be OK with my stutter. If you’re not OK with the fact that you stutter, confidence will never come. I know not everyone can afford...

A story of my stuttering Hey there guys, hope you’re doing well. Way to hard to include all the details but I’ll try to get to a gist. I was diagnosed with stuttering at 5 years old. It didn’t effect ...

Its usually referred to as voluntary stuttering. Ive used it in therapy myself. It can be a useful desensitization technique....
