I’m sorry you believe this. We block because of shame, so being yourself is the only real way to sustainably reduce blocking. This is the advice of countless SLP’s who specialize in dysfluency and...

Yeah I feel you. I really struggle with W words so i find it hard to ask questions. I recently started an internship and everyone’s busy doing their own thing but I wish I was able to just ask simple ...

So basically what ever "technique" we use it should be favoured towards "forgetting out stutter" otherwise that technique is not for use right? Example: when I'm Exhilarated to talk I speak fluently...

Thank you for your post. Last couple months I accepted my stutter issue although, it started 12 year ago. Struggling everyday but i am trying my best. I think by now it’s not just a speech problem, it...

Additionally, even non-stutterers often word-substitute, tense, prolong, do repetitions etc etc. So, I absotely don't view them as a problem or any kind of obstacle or to be avoided. They are perfectl...

I try my absolute hardest not to. I usually succeed but the longer I know the person they will eventually notice so it’s pretty short lived when I can :/...

I usually don't stutter when I first meet people, so I guess I hide it unintentionally, but I always tell them just so they know that I sometimes stutter when I speak to avoid any kind of "jokes" or a...

**Second reply:** This is my attempt to shed some light on the definition: "justification" and "need to reduce factors". I think that negative experiences can increase our defensive mechanism to say...

Yesss agreed! Sometimes it just feels good to get it out after all the blocking and stuttering. Who cares what people thing 😎...

Can you elaborate? Do you mean fear and anxiety of stuttering? If so... That's no longer part of my disfluency. I learned to speak fluently not by overcoming my stutter. It was closer to learning to ...

Yes. I think it is helpful as long as you stick with it. By doing this you’re releasing the fear and anxiety of speaking that developmental stutterers get as we get older. When you’re little you just ...

I personally really like talking about my stutter. I can’t hide it and in my experience not many people know much about stuttering so I try to be open about it and answer questions if they have any. I...

I’d guess you have a covert stutter, where you have more blocks than repetitions? You probably avoid/switch words to get through a block? Saying your name and other unavoidable words are *noticeably* ...

Basically, this threshold mechanism (based on distorted beliefs) - allows/prevents the release of speech motor plans. It's a defensive mechanism e.g., if we feel the need to speak more perfect or erro...

Not really, but also if I speak you’ll know I have a stutter, so disclosing it doesn’t really matter given that… it’s obviously I have one if you speak to me for any length of time....
