Yes, I often stutter on purpose when I do stuff like this (helps with desensitization as well) to avoid that, but for this vid I didn't...

Facing fears bluff (ps. I don't believe in the wording "Working on stutter" but I worded it that way for desensitization reasons

Facing fears bluff (ps. I don't believe in the wording "Working on stutter" but I worded it that way for desensitization reasons ...

Funny seeing the earphones experiment here. Tried this when i was 15 and it was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. My friends and i were chilling during recess and one of them wanted m...

This is going to confuse the heck out of many ppl here who spend most of their waking hours trying to hide their stutter. But actually, letting listeners hear repetitions is actually the best way to ...

"Should stuttering be reduced" In the viewpoint of both - *stutterers who accept to live with stuttering their whole lives -* and *stutterers who aim for stopping stuttering* \- in both cases 1. **P...

Change your voice deeper or higher. If that doesn’t work, find someone else to make the call is the path of least resistance. Best thing is to accept you’re going to stutter and make that phone call w...

My king the most counterintuitive goal is to not stutter. It´s hard, but allow yourself to stutter. Speak slow, stutter on purpose, and realise you´re not responsible to speak fluid. You have a tire t...

Do deliberate stuttering on each syllable, and try to humorize the situation by imagining that you are receiving a call from a stuttering person and how that adds to your ordinary day experience. Shif...

Self therapy? Yes. Going to therapy, no. And the first is way more important than the second. You can watch a lot of soccer, but watching soccer doesn't make you a soccer player....

A good example is desensitization, the fact that you do it one or two times will not help, you have to do it a lot of times and eventually (like gym) you will improve, and the worst part is that you h...

Exactly! I guess the solution is to go into situations and stutter on purpose but that is very hard...

If that works for you, then wonderful! But I think others of us here who have taught ourselves to speak almost without blocks are doing the opposite of that. Exhale, begin slowly and include a vo...

Hey man, sorry to hear all of this. My advice would be to go against the grain. Stutter your heart out (On purpose) and let yourself be. Your goal doesn´t need to be to speak as fluently as possible, ...

Most of us have hard blocks because we are trying to hide our repetitions. If we let ppl hear them up front, your brain/emotions are less likely to try to hide repetitions. Choose a word you can sa...

I used to do something similar. "Fuckin" was a gentle entry to getting the airflow going and overcoming blocks. Undoubtedly being in high school contributed to that particular word choice, but it wo...

Also make eye contact, talk on exhales, begin slowly and enunciate. And if you really want to *talk with near fluency*, then begin with a voluntary repetition. If this sounds like terrible/impos...

So, in this case, I don't know if this "calming effect" affects the nature of stuttering. I think if we could erase the part of our memory where we have stuttering, this might help us. What about hy...

I hope you are learning that many of us suffer with an invisible and misunderstood type of disability from having a stutter that is probably much worse than yours. I hope you are also learning that i...

Great observation! There’s a professional speech therapist who calls that “bobulations” - the imperfect speech the that everyone has, but isn’t bothered by. The main difference is that people who s...

The best part of that is realizing you needed to put yourself in uncomfortable situations, and addressing/acknowledging fear/embarrassment. Your avoidance of “speech techniques” is another great real...
