I agree we can desensitise ourselves to feared words, sounds, situations even….it takes a lot of courage, perseverance and I guess accepting there will be peaks and troughs along the way...

If you'd like, you can definitely break your secondary behaviors and just have "clean" stuttering. What worked for me is to watch myself in the mirror when I speak. I talked to my clinician while lo...

I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, your stutter didn't cause the blocking, head jerk, or eye closing. Bad news is you began doing these behaviors at some point, consciously or unconsci...

- Advertising - telling people that you stutter beforehand, either directly ("I have a stutter") or indirectly (by pseudostuttering) - Mirror work - talking in the mirror, recognizing secondaries, rel...

My experiences in the Successful Stuttering Management Program (SSMP)

My experiences in the Successful Stuttering Management Program (SSMP) I went through the SSMP a couple weeks ago and thought it was, by far, the most helpful speech therapy program in my life. If you ...

I usually tell myself that there is no other way than facing the situation. I would suggest read something aloud for atleast 30 min as a warm up. Hope it helps!...

Yup, but exaggerated deliberate disfluencies put you in the driver’s seat! It tells your mind that you are purposely stuttering, so therefore you have no fear of stuttering....

I noticed the same thing with shrooms and I was able to get a consistent improvement by practicing my speech when on shrooms. I could feel my jaw muscles and all the muscles that go into speaking an...

Deliberate disfluency is exaggerating stuttering on purpose. And disclosure is openly and directly telling people that you stutter. This is to create ease in the listener and yourself. And to create c...

Yes i did delebrate disfluencies and disclosures for 2 months, exceeding the recommended interactions by a wide margin. I had always used deliberate disfluency in the past to overcome diffi ulties wit...

Did you do the deliberate disfluencies and disclosure! Costal breathing is not enough! You must do the deliberate disfluencies and disclosures. Along with the self-realization process and solving appr...

The thing is, you almost have to pair the costal breathing with deliberate disfluency and self-realization, which will be discussed in the program. And with the costal breathing, you have to get the...

I’ve found the program very helpful! You have to put in the work though, and respond almost immediately to relapses. It works but it’s very mentally taxing and the first while will be like playing “wh...

its a nightmare. ive been trying to push myself by making phone calls (ive got a fear of phones) but when i start making progress, everything crumbles. i hope the speech therapy works for you man! i...

So let me challenge you: go to a coffee shop, and voluntarily stutter with the barista. Look them in the eye, make sure your voice is loud enough, do not look embarrassed of your stutter, and order yo...

Hey king! Hope you’re doing well. I’m actually doing fantastic regarding speech :) From the moment we talked I haven’t stuttered the way I used to. This is the first time this happens with a new techn...

I used to avoid high stress situations but as I got older it only hurt me because there are times you can’t avoid them. Also you miss out on so much experience and practice speaking that’s the only th...

For me that doesn’t help. I don’t really know when I will stutter or not. My fear of stuttering will just grow. Exposure therapy works best for me. Making phone calls or ask for something in a store, ...

Train your brain to give zero fucks about your stutter. Easier said than done, i know. Therefore you should take action - you can overcome the fear of stuttering ONLY by actually putting yourself in t...

Back in 2014 I was defending my thesis: 'Peculiarities in translation of medical terminology', and I was the only one out of about 35 graduates who got 'D' for it :) Nevertheless, I am interpreting no...
