I feel your pain my g. It's all good tho, you got learn to play it off. Especially with the jokes. When I get stuck, I incorporate the stutter into the joke and flip it. Works everything lol In rega...

Great answer. There's also a factor of the gradual introduction of the stimulus you fear the most. It's called successive approximation to the goal. If you're deathly afraid of white rabbits, the firs...

It was suggested that I join Toastmasters, International. It's a lunchtime group of other people working on their public speaking. It's not at all judgemental as everyone there has his own issues. I s...

Yeah, I usually just use it for presentations so basically every now and then. My only concern is that I might never ‘get better’ if I always rely on the DAF and don’t try presenting without it...

Agree! Maybe try starting small by making eye contact with *yourself* in a mirror, while speaking with various repetitions and blocks. Then, while still looking in mirror, make phone calls, while do...

For other people who stutter, if you also want to simulate Exposure Therapy (which is a form of psychotherapy) but without having a therapist yourself. Then self-therapy (according to [researchers](ht...

+1 to starting small! I also recommend setting small but very clear goals before pushing yourself into situations. Sometimes the goal can just be showing up. Other times it can be asking a question y...

Start small, don’t throw yourself into the fire. Approaching public speaking gradually is beneficial in a number of ways. You not only gain confidence by working your way into a situation but you also...

Eye contact enemy #1

I wish I had an answer. It does sound like you are now stuttering. Did anything happen recently that might have triggered it? If you have a diagnosissis of OCD do you currently have a psychologist/psy...

I've already been doing exposure therapy without meds, and it didn't help. I've tried meds recently and they are finally helping....

No, I received no help for my stuttering. My parents were abusive and at the age of 69, I began psychotherapy for anxiety and depression and my abusive childhood. was uncovered. Miraculously, dealing...

It's called exposure therapy. Keen on doing it, especially with the help of a professional and you may go a long way...

In my experience and opinion getting outside of your comfort zone and actively engaging in situations which are uncomfortable speech wise and ultimately overcoming your fear is the only way to really ...

Ease into it. Don’t just throw yourself into an involved speaking situation, it’ll just make you lose hope very quickly. But I highly recommend you get a job that does push you out of your comfort zon...

I learned a technique called 'soft touch' or something like that. It's like really softly touching your lips when saying the letter you want to say. I'm sure there are video's about it on yt. That rea...
