I have v severe blocks and this might be because of holding your breath for a long time. I sometimes get blocked for minutes and i just keep trying and usually don't breathe in b/w. Although i Don't u...

I have this problem when I block but it’s usually because I’m straining too hard to get the word out and end up with a headache, or I forget to breathe and get lightheaded...

Lightheadedness?

Lightheadedness? My son (12) has a severe stutter. He says sometimes when he's getting a really bad block, he gets lightheaded and dizzy. Is this common in stuttering?...

One significant thing that I noticed during a block is that I press my lips together way too hard. During normal, fluent speech there is hardly any lip pressure at all. So if I can correct this I th...

I try my best not to blink too fast or have my eyes wide open when a block occurs. I usually counter that by talking slower, and it works sometimes, but I can't seem to do it consistently enough....

Has anyone tried reducing their secondary characteristics?

Has anyone tried reducing their secondary characteristics? Mine is unconsciously nodding my head when I say things hard to say. I realise that I do this when talking to my parents which lets me talk f...

It’s the exact opposite for me. I need to avoid breathing into my rib cage and use diaphragmatic breathing instead. When I breathe shallowly and rapidly, it goes into my upper chest and ribcage. I’...

Commenting late but I recently quit my zyn habit and my stutter has all but vanished. My stutter is undiagnosed though and consists of a twitch of my jaw....

In regards to breathing, if you do it correctly it will help tremendously, but breathing wrong is like pouring more gasoline on the fire and results in more tension which worsens stuttering....

my body is very smart, all these years of stuttering it has acquired good skills to compensate for stuttering, now when I go to speak for example, I have incredible and uncontrollable tics, a great us...

Does anyone else tend to nod their head alot when speaking?

Does anyone else tend to nod their head alot when speaking? Sounds like it’s something I do on words I might find hard to say.. it’s a bad habit so I think I want to try soft onset and minimise this m...

I think it is mental to some degree. For example i can talk to myself alone in my room without much of a stutter but if i try speaking to new people or find myself in situations that i find intimidat...

Honestly i think it’s starts with a mental trigger and then it translates to a physical in incapability to continue the sentence. It’s like my brain tells my body to stop talking. The body refuses and...

I’ve beat my stuttering through exactly that (Neuroplasticity). I rewired my brain to hear fluency coming out of my mouth. I also exposed myself to pressured situations with a plan of action of course...

Yes I have seen some stammerers speak like this. This is actually called mouth widening technique and can improve stutter. But under the hood it follows prolongation only. When we try to wide out mout...

Lol. I stutter when I talk to my cat. He doesn't seem to mind....

Also speak a bit softer and slower than you normally do, this will reduce speaking tension. It won’t be be perfect but it helps you become only 10% more fluent that’s significant....

I rarely repeat syllables/words/sounds. My major problem is blocking. I just can't move, my voice box can't make a sound. Inside my body I've been trying to take note recently of what exactly is go...

Describing the feeling of stuttering The other day I had a pretty bad stuttering fit, where I couldn’t get a single word out without stuttering. I would get stuck on the first two or three words and r...
