Yes. I know you’ve been told this but you need to slow down and take your time. An analogy to use is Barrack Obama doing public speeches. Whether you align with him politically or not, he has a very...

So many! My first name (which I hate the most) words that start with the letter C (communicate, community) some R words too (relationship, reductive) there’s a lot more too, it depends on my fluency t...

Not sure if this goes for anyone else but sometimes when I can’t say a word, having someone else say it seems to help clear up the block but of course that’s a case by case basis....

Hah! I do that too. Stressed out because they were out of what I had mentally prepared to order. In those situations I usually go "I'll have a b... a b... one of those b... Fuck it. Fries. Give me fri...

So im 17 and i needed to read my email in english (its not my native language) and i stutter much more saying or reading anything in english. It was on microsoft teams, others could only hear me since...

I really take similarity with your point about falling into old patterns. I think as people who stammer - we want to be fluent instantly 0-100 style. I would advise taking things (as in goals, eg. wor...

There is most definitely a novelty effect. I read a tip once that you should pinch your thumb while speaking, because that sensation will distract you from the fear of stuttering. Somehow, it seemed t...

I'm with you on the feedback loops. Especially when it comes to avoidance. There are certain sounds that are a real problem for me, and the more I avoid them the more fearful they become. Thus more te...

I used to do this too. To the point it would make me sound all mumbly. Hard habit to break....

Everything you've said is true, and then some. Having a barrier, even if it's just a piece of fabric can reduce anxiety and tension when it comes to stuttering and anxiety as a whole. A blogger who I...

i am a college professor with a mild stutter. i have stuttered for as long as i can remember and it has always been a source of shame for me. i never sought professional help for my stutter, which i r...

Just wanted to say as someone with what I consider to be a pretty terrible stutter (I can't get through more than a few words at a time if even) who just graduated college, YOU CAN DO IT. I was absolu...

I am a teacher. I had a bad stuttering problem from about 5 to about 15. It wasn't great after 15, but it took a lot of public speaking practice to improve my speaking abilities. I also had about 2...

I'm a high School teacher with moderate-to-severe stutter, working on year 21. Days can be hard. Years can be hard. About 10 years ago, my class schedule had me talking for 4 hours straight. That... w...

> So you’re just open about it all? Yeah, you aren't going to hide it over the course of the entire year. I teach high school. If you are talking about something awkward, it becomes less muc...

I put it in the room. When it gets really bad I do a chester cheeto-esque face shake out. Its fair game for the kids to ask me to repeat myself. Honestly the biggest issue is that I can't read verba...
