Sorry, I definitely got this confused with the very common "tapping" aka physical secondaries that people use. As long as this method is not harming you or your speech in any way, should be all good....

> That initial lock in to start the cough, if I hold it, I can't say anything. Yes, so basically, [this](https://i.imgur.com/vaNRLX1.jpg) is a screenshot of the vocal cords. Watch the picture. If th...

I just wanted to reply again to thank you for this concept because I can't stop thinking about it and finding it really fascinating. It helps me think twice about what's happening and consider that I...

I’ve tried understanding it during a deep meditative state and it’s an overlay of unwanted behaviors and traumas I’ve gained over the years, I can’t tell if I’m overly sensitive but i definitely grown...

Wow that is really interesting. Something even beyond tension. I thought I was reproducing it when I did a half cough scenario like when a doctor may ask us to cough, we lock in the back area, push ...

>*26:00-28:00 "Tension in the throat causes the stutter"* In my opinion: I have tested "the theory of laryngeal tension" quite often. However, no matter how tight/hard I am tensing my laryngeal thro...

My stutter is pretty much only blocks, how can i start overcoming it

My stutter is pretty much only blocks, how can i start overcoming it I’ve never really stuttered in the sense of repeating a part of a word before. It’s either being stuck on the beginning part(like h...

Same here my friend. I have the same problem, especially with push-ups because chest and neck muscles are involved. But running has no impact...

**Do not do this.** This is called a physical secondary, any movement with stuttering tension (eye blinking, tapping hand etc). Physical secondaries may seem like they are helping your stutter, but in...

Right now I just focus on the tension in my throat and forget the rest. Sometimes clarity and simplicity invites calm and comfort so as I feel any tense sensation in my throat area I untense it. Any...

I’m sure the habits you’re building of recognising the tension and forcing your muscles to relax are very helpful. Hopefully you can figure out a way to bring this awareness into more and more of your...

I stumbled on that also. I couldn't relate to any pain with my stutter, just that sinking feeling that lead to throat tension and a closing up sensation that seemed to stem from it. What ever reliev...

I'd recommend doing a Laryngeal Massage. You can find videos on YouTube on how to do it. Here's one: https://youtu.be/QUDNXLSrOXk?feature=shared...

You could look up Muscle Tension Dysphonia if you’re curious. I saw a physical therapist that specialised in performance injuries, for symptoms related to pain while singing that evolved into pain whi...

Wow well, initial testing, I just focused on that area and when I had some issues I tried to not fall into my typical more lazy micro techniques and stuck with this macro idea, the problem is I've alw...

How would you release muscle tension by our vocal area?

How would you release muscle tension by our vocal area? This is a hypothetical but if it were the case then what would you do? Say we are very vulnerable to muscle tension. For a non-stutterer, the ...

I believe it's fear and nervousness exacerbated by memories of past episodes of stuttering or if you want "failures". You need to be able to calm yourself down first and foremost. Take in deep breath...

Me personally I have developed the tendency to “ hard close “ or “clinch my eyes” when I stutter on explosive letters like T. I really don’t like it and need to train it away. Looks very weird 🤣...

I’m in a similar situation except when I block on a word I move forward and back on my feet or blink a lot which makes me look as if I’m having a seizure. Hopefully people are patient with you...

Is it normal to nod your head while speaking or this a secondary behaviour?

Is it normal to nod your head while speaking or this a secondary behaviour? I tend to nod my head a lot when I speak. Do normal people keep their head still when they talk? I’ve noticed some YouTubers...
