Yeah same here. I used to focus mainly on tricks but now I've realized they only set me back further and further away each time. Most likely you are pretty fluent, if not perfectly fluent when you a...

Thats a crazy story, great depth and awareness you have. So just to be clear you are saying, this persona you have of being the insulting, cocky dude just a front that makes you more fluent?...

I feel like online games don't correlate to real life situations and games in general makes stuttering worse in all the cases I've heard. How old are you? There are many ways to push yourself but I ...

Feeling amazing! Conquered my largest mountain this past weekend!!

Feeling amazing! Conquered my largest mountain this past weekend!! Hi everyone! So on Sunday night, I conquered my most feared mountain. I gave a 10 minute speech at my brother’s wedding as his best m...

Welcome to the world of covert stammering! Speech therapy sessions that I’ve attended try to encourage you to stammer rather than block, attempting to turn you into an overt stammerer rather than a co...

Ive had a stutter all my life, and have been going to speech therapy ever since i was around 4-5 yrs old. It has only changed, not gotten better

Ive had a stutter all my life, and have been going to speech therapy ever since i was around 4-5 yrs old. It has only changed, not gotten better I used to have a more stereotypical stutter (ex: “s-s-s...

Yup. I’m 35 and have stuttered since at least age 6 (that was when I went into speech therapy and became aware of my stutter). It’s gotten better as I’ve gotten older. Or, I should say, I’ve gotten be...

What has helped me the most is to disclose my stutter to my instructor, then at least they know, and it hopefully won't effect your grade. The best advice I have is to not think about what you say bef...

I clearly remember being fluent. When i was 5 I started stuttering seemingly out of the blue. I had this teenage neighbour girl I spent time with who stuttered so my siblings believed she gave it to m...

When did it start? Do you remember? I remember I had some years (around kindergarten) where I couldn't pronounce certain things properly. After learning, it mostly turned out that it was stutter pote...

Thats actually crazy, I also had trouble saying my r's. "Girl" just sounds like "guwl" lol Just all seriousness your "boomerang" stutter makes complete sense and a lot of people who stutter have the ...

My teacher is pretty chill with shy students and lets them do certain speaking assessments alone with her! I just want to be able to be brave enough to do it in front of class and stop going toward ha...

Things that work for me : Putting on an accent Talking in a monotone Talking with a deliberate rhythm I'd also talk with your teacher and ask is you could skip pronouncing things in front of the...

First I want to say that this class will be great for you! You started off explaining how there's lots of interaction and I got the vibe that you didn't like that. But just know the more interaction...

Me too, totally agree with the energy reading, I think that’s something all stutterers ace in. Usually when I meet people I’m a mate so there’s less stress so I usually just vibe with them and if they...

I practice saying it different ways, singing it, long breaths before, making my mouth different shapes but still have issues. I feed off people’s energies and if they’re uptight or stressed, it makes ...

Very interesting, someone else mentioned Lee G. Lovett to me so I will definitely check him out. It seems counterintuitive to work against the stutter for me, and the battle is constantly "should I l...

According to Lee G. Lovett (he is considered to be a charlatan by some, genius by others) if you manage to avoid stuttering by using tricks and others means (such as avoiding speaking when you're guar...
