I can sooo understand this post. What people can see is me stuttering a little or chattering my teeth. But really underneath I'm grinding my teeth clenching my jaw trying not to nod my head uncontroll...

It's called stutter blocks and I have the same case. Yeah, it's so tiring, in my case blocks are physically painful when I try to get my words out. Holding my breath or taking a deep breath does not h...

Hearing my midwestern mumble, stutter, and lisp come together to make what I said in a voice recording completely unintelligible and remembering why people made fun of me in school <<<...

I think the “cute” they are talking about is just stumbling over a few words. “lol it’s cute he gets jumbled sometimes”. When I get stuck it looks like I’m going into a full blown seizure with my head...

Have you tried a bite guard at night? I would rule out what the dentist is saying before I dismiss it....

No I haven't experienced this. But I do want to point out that you wouldn't know whether or not you grind your teeth when you sleep because you're not conscious at that time. How confident are you t...

I guess it depends on the type of stuttering too. I, for instance, bring my tongue out when I stutter, that shit cant be cute lmao. Also if the stutter is severe, and also your attitude towards it bec...

I did this when I was little(12-15) but eventually stopped once I saw my teeth go bad and I'm not able to afford a dentist. There are certain devices that you put in the mouth while sleeping to help y...

Teeth/gum issues due to stuttering?

Teeth/gum issues due to stuttering? Hi! I’m a person who stutters who has a heavy “block” type of stutter - very few issues with repetitions, but instead quenching my jaw when I start words. Due to th...

Yeah it’s hard to execute them in normal conversation because of the speed that I am expected to respond at. If I am really struggling I’ll use the targets in that robotic way that we used to do at ho...

I never went to any specialist for my stuttering, I created my own ways to help me stop stuttering so yes clinching my fist lightly on the alphabets I stutter helps me like the R and T sound...

Does this help for you? Practicing and creating extra tension are not generally recommended techniques that SLPs who specialize in dysfluency will suggest....

I have gone to Hollins! Back in 2021!. I personally do not use the techniques. I find them hard to maintain and they make me sound robotic. like with Stretched Syllable, I feel like I saw very animate...

I get what you mean kind of? Sometimes a noise throws me off when I am speaking and I get caught for longer than I otherwise would have been. It’s basically just another variation on having your comp...

Noises intentionally happen around me when I'm in a block or speaking to someone

Noises intentionally happen around me when I'm in a block or speaking to someone This is silly, but why does my dog feel like she needs to lick her bowl like crazy for scraps of food when I'm in a mid...

Stammering blocks

Stammering blocks My school final exams will start from February 15 and my prep is going well but since I have stammering , i couldn't ask for supplement/additional copy during the exams . My mind go...

My best way of reducing blocks is just reducing my tension in general. I just work on anxiety reduction and self acceptance. I was taught a strategy by a SLP years ago to "soft start" which is making...

Stop "pushing", take a breath, smile and try again. I also dont stutter, but have blocks. Brute forcing anything is always the wrong way to do it....

I had a presentation yesterday. I had to read out around 50 words, had a long ass block on the word “encounter” somehow couldn’t say it after 2 deep breaths, but I fought thru it and carried on with a...
