some words that cause total blocks or really long repetitions— Common H-words — he, his, house, etc Words that start with a vowel— elevator, afternoon, apple, etc With plosive sounds (b, g, d, t),...

Yeah you just give a few fake stutters, like “t-t-today is Thursday” instead of “today is th—-“ [total block]...

Yeah it’s a great trick, especially because stuttering at the beginning of a sentence is much more normalized and natural-sounding than stuttering abruptly in the middle of the sentence....

You have to make sound. Sound you don't want to make. You create different sounds by moving the parts of your mouth that make them (jaw, tongue, lips). Nothing is preventing you from making these move...

Hello, I have debilitating blocks myself and would love to know how you overcame your situation. Thanks...

Hi, I am a severe blocker myself. How did you work on getting rid of yours?...

Idk but I hate blocking. I block more than I stutter. I would almost rather stutter more than block. Blocking is sooo awkward and it causes my to not talk 90% of the time. I have a huge fear of blocki...

Is this the post you're talking about? https://www.stutteringtreatment.org/blog/can-a-block-be-an-avoidance-behavior  The information in it is good and the SLP is known in the community, although I'd ...

Do you have scientific papers or anything to back this up? Because a quick google didn't show anything except that one blog post, like I said....

Blocking isn't a "type of stutter", it's an avoidance behavior, similar to all the other things we do to not stutter. Blocking is just a more intense avoidance. You want to say something but when it c...

block stutter and how it actually happens

block stutter and how it actually happens I used to stutter from a very young age, I stuttered for a few years, but then it eventually became less. It is still apparent, just not as severe as it used ...

the stutter is a curse and unlike cursed speech it just domain expansions me and forces my body to spazz...

People just don't get it. Every time I describe it to my parents, I tell them that it's as if an invisibile entity grabbed my throat and esophagus as hard as it could. It's a neurophysiological disord...

Disagree. I stutter without thinking of stuttering. My take on the real cause of stuttering would be that stutters have a mild low blood flow in the brain that causes us to block or completely not be ...

I always blocked on “my name is….” “M” was/is a problem Saying “Hi, I am….” did the trick....

I do this too. I say “my name is _____” rather than just my name. I find it gives a little runway for the non-replaceable name, and if I still detect a block coming for my name I can syncopate the i...

The thing you are thinking of as a “traditional stutter” is really just the stereotype-Hollywood version, and it’s unfortunately the only way many people understand stuttering! You are describing hav...

There was an informal survey on here a few months back on what "type" of stutter people have. Repetition (the stereotypical kind you mentioned) was actually a minority of cases, with most being blocki...
