I’m not sure if it’s called something different these days, but 20 years ago my speech therapists called it “easy onset”. Basically you would go through different sounds that weren’t vowel sounds and...

I was able to articulate technical jargon at a meeting! Stuttered a little bit, but I got through it with so much confidence...

I practiced saying Notary before going to the UPS store and when I got there, I said it perfectly 😅🤷🏾‍♂️...

Had a lengthy phone call with the bank to replace my debit card. Not fluent, but I still did it :)...

Yeah, I feel like it's one of the worst ways to stutter 😮‍💨 I'm also usually sever but very inconsistent....

Yes, I also have the same problem. As a severe stutterer, it makes me feel even worse....

Your impulse to *not apologize* for your speech is truly what I believe too and I sincerely apologize if I did a poor job explaining myself. I do not have debilitating blocks anymore. Check out m...

Who are you to say I do not struggle with the intensity of stutter where people say my name wrong and I don’t think it’s worth it to give them the right pronunciation and give up and say nothing, I ha...

Thanks for your input. You are lucky that you do not struggle with the intensity of stutter where you end up giving a false name just give up and say nothing! Having occasional repetitions of blo...

What is wrong with me.

What is wrong with me. Why is it that I can be perfectly fine when speaking alone, but as soon as I start talking to another person, I panic, struggle to breathe, and stutter over nearly every word? ...

It doesn't always happen, but when it does, it's SO obvious. I've tried the dragging method, but it tends to end up being held ridiculously long AND then I STILL end up going M-M-M etc when I get to t...

Introductions are always the worst. Some strategies I use are thinking about the subject rather than the words, it's easier said than done but sometimes it can be beneficial. Depending on how severe i...

makes sense. We stutter the most on the first letters in a word. If we focus instead, on the middle part of the word, we become less responsive/sensitive...

yes exactly! the only flaw with this technique is that it’s difficult to implement with certain names, look more into whispering the first letter under your breath instead of completely dropping the l...

This is a good tip! Ive read about this before. This is a bit difficult with my name because if I drop the B it could be a bunch of different names to fill in the blank haha...

I have a lot of luck starting with "My name is..." I also block a lot on saying my city name, so I start with "I'm from the X area". It's strange because I can't fluently say, "I'm from X"...

I developed a same issue lately. I never had a problem whispering prayer words under my breath but now i cant seem to do it. Sometimes when i get too frustrated i stop moving my lips and say it in my ...

First time I've heard it called "groping." Personally, I'd use the term coping strategies. Typically, when I have a block, I'll look upwards until I can actually get it out and hold my breath for a co...

That’s a really good explanation! Are there some stuff that could help me with that? Also for your information, I do have a block stuttering....

Interesting, my blocks are different though. I usually have my eyes open, staring at something and not too much tension, just some tension in my tongue and mouth. It usually ends up into me pulling my...
