I tap my feet to get a mental running start. It’s my latest crutch. I’m on like year 5 of this. That or go through the Rolodex of synonyms, is there is one....

Dr. Bodenhamer believes that our articulators freeze because of a panic response, just like stage freight. I agree with him. What is your opinion? Additionally, I think there are also other reasons. F...

Same here!! One thing that works for me is to slow down my speech at the start and speak with deliberate and sometimes exaggerated mouth movements, especially your lips. Keep in mind that stuttering i...

If your talking about enunciating words then yes this helps me as well. Almost like over exaggerating the physical shape of my Mouth while saying the words helps. Just hard to do it all the time. I tr...

I acctually found that out today that if I make my mouth movements clearer and like you said smile a bit I stutter less....

Whatever it is it took me like 36 years it has something to do with tension accumulating in the throat especially when using my vocal cords. (Also sometimes when I get stressed my voice starts getting...

Also look at this SLPs video who gave a speech to NSA about the mechanism that is stopping airflow to your vocal chords. Valsalva maneuver - unwanted automatic clenching of lower core muscles that im...

>Could you elaborate? I completely agree that people who stutter choose to force locking the cords (compulsion / primary behavior) as shown in [diagram 1](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FTwnR-LE...

By making the ugly stuttered sound you're afraid to make. That's literally it. Nobody is making you block, it's something you're doing. I know it feels like it's beyond your control, but it's not. The...

Then I have the exact same stutter. For me I take a deep breath and relax then when I breath out I say the word sometimes I also press my stomach since it helps me blurt out the word. In this case slo...

I’ve been stuttering throughout my entire life. On top of that I have a serious lisp. So imagine that combined. But I can’t control it. It comes at my worst times. I’m a college student. One time I wa...

I even let them know some of my secondary behaviors. A lot of people know how a typical stutter looks like but they do not know secondary behaviors....

Currently fighting the “S, St, Str” demons. The SLP advice is to change tone (higher) and speed (slower). Also pre-prime your vocal folds with a relaxing, breathy, easy onset “ahhhhh” sound for the fi...

Man, I have trouble with this too. The S when it comes out is like a hiss and then a big pause where my tongue is frozen against my teeth and then the T is like an interminable ticking sound. This ten...

😂😂😂 Men I do the same shyt also it's to the point we're I don't recognize Im doing It until I'm done with a conversation and I'm thinking back on the situation...

It’s typical to experience “brain lock.” The SLPs I work with at the University use treatment film footage to count that stuff. Even covert stutters (like me) can’t hide that....

When I’m stuck my eyes flutter open and shut so if I’m walking and talking I have to be very careful I’ve ran into things a few times 😅...

I don’t know what they may be called now. But my SLP called them “secondaries”. I.e. they happened secondarily, in addition to the stuttering. The tension in my neck and shoulders would contort my hea...

All my life I've had the habit of jerking my body when I get stuck. Moving my legs, stepping around, stomping, ect to get the word out. Very similar to what you described. I've definitely tripped on m...

I'm the same. Blocks and spasms which would cause weird faces....
