I've been learning, in and out of dating, my stuttering is a bit more receptive now that I openly laugh and crack jokes about my self when a bad one comes. It makes me and usually the other more comfo...

I strongly suggest to *stop* thinking about your articulators. If they can sometimes move correctly, then they are not the problem and focusing on them will *make them not move*. Deep breathing (whi...

Actually my suggestions are : eye contact, exhale, begin slowly and enunciate. If done along with voluntary stuttering, eventually the rituals will start to fade away \*on their own\*. I think that ...

"Do you know what they are?" Yes, don't hide instead disclose, face fears and eye contact, don't switch words or move hands as a ritual. Agree with that. "Don't do complex self-analyses" I disagree...

Good luck! So basically what I'm trying to advice is, normally our incorrect response is focusing on trying to control our mouth. My suggestion is, instead of this, you could focus on 'trusting your i...

Anyone who makes a goal that is inaccessible is likely to fail and feel worse. If you are already having hard blocks on your name, it seems unlikely that you'll just "loosen up and stop thinking abou...

If you are able to articulate the D sound sometimes, the problem isn't the D sound itself. It's very common for stutterers to block on their own name and other words of importance to them. Our brain...

Suppose we do voluntary/controlled repetitions, make eye contact and begin speaking slowly and afterwards we do blockings and repetitions. Then the problem is still that we don't acknowledge the loop ...

Stop fighting. You have to let yourself stutter. You can't do this (yet) in moments of high fear or strong blocks. You need to work on it in easy situations and resist blocking in those. Then you baby...

So you basically purposely stutter on the block. So if you feel a block on the word pillow, you say p-p-p-p-pillow. Its great, but I would also recommend trying to purposely stutter in general. It hel...
