Allowing yourself to stutter won't get rid of the moments where your speech mechanism "hiccups" resulting in an interruption in the forward flow of your speech, accompanied by a sense of loss of contr...

The eye blinks, hard pauses followed by unrelated bizarre words is pretty standard for uncontrolled blocking...

Blocking is the more advanced (worse) version of stuttering. Your effort to NOT have repetitions creates an unwanted valsalva maneuver which blocks airflow, causing the block....

To me personally, blocking IS stuttering, so i don’t really see how letting myself stutter would get rid of blocks. If that makes sense. But really interesting theory, that i will have to give more th...

It could be, I am not an expert in neuroscience so can't comment. But I think most people block because they want to avoid stuttering. It's not a conscious choice. Its out of fear. The feeling is of h...

I just wonder what makes the distinction. Why would blocking not be a neurological part of stuttering. It’s not like it’s a conscious choice. I might be completely in the wrong here, just curious to h...

Make sound. Specifically the sound you're afraid to make. You won't be able to do this in difficult situations. you need to start at the absolute safest and easiest occurrence where you may still bl...

There's nothing physically holding your throat or vocal cords. You're doing it because you want to speak but you don't want to stutter so you're left at this very hard impasse. Once you can slowly let...

That's me. I can go days without a blip of a stutter and think that I'm making progress, then I get anxious in some situation and get hit with blocks...

Same. So when I have to start speaking. Or words like Hello, Thank You, Happy Birthday, etc. I don't stutter mid sentence...

I’m 18 and I’ve stuttered since I was 7. I stutter around family, strangers, or friends. It’s 5x times worse when I’m nervous and can be included with selective mutism. I never keep track of what exac...

Very easy to detect and doesn’t require expensive equipment. My ear nose and throat doctor detected my vocal cords having spasms during a block when scoped while I was trying to say something a hard c...
