I have to talk on the phone to strangers pretty often as part of my job as well. I think this kind of sheer exposure therapy helps at least a little bit....

This is a good question. It might depend on what your goal is. Generally speaking, reinforcing unproductive behaviors such as forcing out words or using a lot of tricks because you're so frazzled and ...

Doing regular breathing exercises, desensitization exercises, and gratitude exercises by far has helped me the most. I can write pages upon pages on each one of these topics, but my recommendation is ...

Putting myself in as many social situations as possible and leaning into the discomfort. It’s pretty rough at first, but eventually it gets a lot better than if I’d chosen isolation out of fear....

How about if there was somehow no expectation for you to talk, would eye contact be more comfortable? Maybe like at the dentist? Some people are wired to be uncomfortable with eye contact. But it...

You are actually super close to the stuff that will help you get past blocks. A block happens bc of an unwanted valsalva maneuver, which leads to core/diaphragm tension. It’s basically a mild panic ...

Some people may find it endearing, and that’s wonderful. But, the reality is that PWS with significant blocking, avoidance and covert habits often are simply unable to say what they want, when they w...

Stop trying not to stutter and work on effortless stuttering....

I started tapping my feet or fingers to get started. It’s weird. This is my longest gimmick, they change every 2-3 years, this is year 7....

Practice voluntary repetitions, make eye contact and begin on an exhale...
