I know exactly what you mean! Sometimes when I have really bad talking days and I’m putting too much pressure on my abdomen, it ends up being sore the next day (at least for me)....

Is this cluttering?

Is this cluttering? Hi guys, I've been trying to find out what exactly is wrong with my speech, and I think it may be cluttering. Here are the symptoms I've noticed: * I often start talking very qui...

It’s a vibrating wearable , but the charge only last 6 hrs so it’s not powered on all the time. I want to do more breathing work myself. I feel like I’m not drawing in enough deep breaths from my bell...

Most of the time I feel like I’m running out of air , and I guess it would be more of a physiological reset to Make sure everything is aligned-I have enough air, I’m following a cadence, and keeping m...

If you can, smile and maintain eye contact during the blocking. the person will probably look away, but it will help them if when they do look at you, you are engaging and not looking like wish you we...

That's basically me, what happens is I stutter so much and so many unspoken words build up on my tounge that my voice just freezes and I gasp for air It's a sad life 🙃...

Maybe you can notice I close my eyes when stuttering, it's a problem. In person I try to keep eye contact...

I'd say maybe push a bit your chest straightforward, like opening your body. Idk if I explain correctly, but when I block, I usually I curl up on myself. So do the opposite can be a solution ig...

Honestly, I’ve gotten to the point where generally I’m just not concerned with how much I block or stutter. I’m more inclined to base my success on how much my performance bothered me. Ultimately, if ...

First thing that I'd say here is YOU DID GREAT. We're always the harshest judges of ourselves, so it's only usual that you felt upset when you watched the recording. But while you were presenting, you...

how does it affect your secondary behaviors? When I am comfortable, my secondary behaviors become shorter and there is no more grimacing....

I read somewhere that when u stutter, u tend to stop moving ur mouth and tongue completely. So if ur stuttering, try to remember to keep moving ur tongue or mouth no matter what. That might sound weir...

Damn, I know the pain exactly! Feeling like it's all mechanical, and you're doing 100% of the work manually (airflow control, vocal cord control etc.) But with repetition and regular practice, your ...

Yea I notice too that I struggle with proper airflow/ breathing and vocal intonations when talking out loud to myself and even close family. Kinda makes talking a pain. And I also have to focus first...

I think I did. I also was part of the Pagaclone study and perhaps I got a placebo for that too. I was on Zyprexa for a few months, and that made me block a lot. It also gave me an eyelid twitch for 1 ...

I used to tense up very tight as a kid and look weird. I was made fun of for it (on top of the stutter), so I made myself stop. It was mostly just keeping eye contact with whoever I talked to. No ma...

You are exactly right. It’s partially something called Valsalva maneuver. I suggest watching this presentation from a SLP who gave similar presentation at NSA conference. One thing you can start tr...

The weird faces are called secondary behaviors. They're a form of avoidance or escape behaviors. Meaning they're things that your body has learned to do to either avoid the stuttering moment or get o...

have you tried voluntary stuttering? it's supposed to reduce both involuntary stuttering, anxiety and weird faces. In my case, it increases stuttering but I do it because decreasing anxiety and weir...

Breathing while speaking

Breathing while speaking So I recently noticed that when I speak I tend to hold my breath and flex my abdomen ,this is something that i do even when I speak fluently and it has a big impact on my stu...
