>"I know I am probably just speaking to the choir, maybe it is worth it's own thread and discussion but it is probably controversial and idk if it's worth it here where most just want a cure or be lef...

Comment #5: I also agree with the former that you mentioned.. so for convenience sake, let's label this "fear". Yes indeed, I think that the approach-avoidance conflict (that ultimately result in stu...

So is it the anxiety/fear/doubt creating the avoidance conflict causing our body to stop us from just saying it or our manual override, if I understand you correctly.  I actually think it's the former...

Sometimes, yes, I use GPT, I carve out what I find relevant and adjust the language to suit my approach and understanding. The bit on achieving demonstrable fluency results with speech therapy is base...

all the research on these neurological diseases is so siloed and balkanized, and the only thing it all agrees on is that it can't be vaccines no matter what meanwhile the incidence of nearly all neur...

Yeah…no. A chat bot is not a source of accurate information. All professionals with advanced training in dysfluency agree that *blocking and avoidances are rooted in anxiety*. You can disagree, but...

there is very little research, you are incorrect just because anxiety pills help doesn't mean stuttering is rooted in anxiety fundamentally, brain mechanisms are very complicated ask chat gpt if th...

Huh? Do you think your freedom of speech is being restricted? Please look up what FOS *actually* is. RFK/autism has nothing to do with a “lack of stutter research”, in part because there’s actual...

In a situation when it life or death the have a safe mechanism that’s you’re fluent and speak what must be said fluently. That’s from my personal experience...

It varies. Some such as myself can be more fluent during tense or adrenaline-inducing situations, your self-consciousness might not register as much....

Any advice for a teenager with a stutter?

Any advice for a teenager with a stutter? I'm currently in highschool and have been stuttering since i was 8/9 years old. It's both hereditary but also worsens during stressful situations. How do I de...

When in stress situations the brain automatically shuts down the stutter like some sort of a defense mechanism but sometimes it’s pops. My stutter usually depends on people I’m comfortable with so it’...

Being/Feeling defeated only occurs during a competition or game scenario. Don’t allow an anxious or stressful situation to affect your speech patterns. I’ve made several posts within this thread about...

I was commenting about phonecall being the final boss or the hardest thing (because he/she stutters). So I say that in my case, (and mostly certain other people's also), stutter happens because we r n...

>Reducing fear can help fluency, as you pointed out. It can break the vicious cycle and reduce the approach-avoidance conflict, leading to (more) fluent speech. After all, reducing fear is one of many...

>one day I tried visualizing that I was alone while speaking to classmates… and I was fluent the entire day. That's great. I don't think that would work for me as I've always been hyper-aware of othe...

>*"The question then becomes: how to reduce that fear when speaking with others?"* Yes, exactly! Great question. Perhaps we can desensitize stuttering by learning to accept it (not caring about it), ...

Pretty quickly. Within months I went from not being able to string more than two or three words together to being able to say full sentences most of the time....

Exactly 😊 Back in university, I stuttered severely—but one day I tried visualizing that I was alone while speaking to classmates… and I was fluent the entire day. Like you said, it’s clearly not jus...

I don't think it's only anticipating a feared word. There's more fear when speaking to another person, which feeds the tension, but alone there is less fear so less tension. The question then becomes:...
