My speech block is getting much worse than before and it is affecting my work life My first time posting here, and I am looking for the advice :) This is going to be a long post, so bear with me :) I...

This is the most interesting post I’ve seen in this subreddit. I’ve been going to speech therapy for a while now and my therapist told me that stutterers/stammerers develop different traits to fluent ...

As a fellow PWS, I can tell he’s getting caught on stuff, but even when he’s fluent it genuinely sounds like he has no idea what he’s talking about. It doesn’t help that he’s old as fuck and way out o...

I think that one important thing a stutterer should do is to have a profound understanding of the subject that he/she is going to present. When I thought about it, I found out that When I well prepar...

I agreed. I have never believed in the speech modification technique and never thought that word substitution was a good idea. It might be counterintuitive, but doing so will only aggravate stutteri...

Acquired adult, highly situational stutter?

Acquired adult, highly situational stutter? Hi there, I'm hoping to find others who can relate to this and possibly shed some light on what is going on. I don't recall ever having issues with stutter...

Yes! I'm so glad someone else feels this way. Whenever I have to explain or basically provide information about something, by stutter tends to be a lot more amplified than usual...

I’m a stutter and one of my majors is CS. I figure out it’s always less stutter for me to discuss STEM topics comparing to casual or stressful topics. I guess it’s because the STEM topics are more lo...

The main thing I've found with presentations is to not have a script too rigid. If you plan out every sentence and use keywords to remember what to say next, you feel obliged to say those words and ma...

"Your original post was nothing but a veiled plea for people to DM you for your cure" Nowhere in any part of my original post did I ever invite people to dm me. Yes, I commented on someone's comment ...

Thanks! but which part of my argument do you think is not accurate? That stuttering is a learned behavior? I think the argument of stuttering is not a learned behavior can to some extents be refuted...

Positive excitement has the same physical effect as anxiety: increased muscle tension, increased heartrate, faster breathing, lots of thoughts running through your head. All of these things contribute...

H is a rare one to struggle with because it is a very relaxed sound that does not involve any muscles that are usually involved in speech except for the diaphragm. The sound basically flows out as you...

You are going to need a lot of luck. Luckily, I know how to get lucky; It's through practice. The only way to get good at phone interviews is to practice. Practice before the interview. Imagine what...

Yeah. It’s almost like when you’re trying to be diligent and be as detail oriented as possible is when it shows up....

I only stutter when explaining something?

I only stutter when explaining something? I’m a 23 year old male, and use to stutter a lot when I was younger. But nowadays I only seem to stutter when I’m explaining something that I’m really interes...

At age 23 my stuttering was measured at 30% of my speech in reading and dialogue. Yet, in a room alone I could read out loud with zero stuttering and make pretend phone calls saying my name. When I ...

I’m almost a college student, I plan on going into biology/zoology. Conservation biology sounds awesome to me and I honestly can’t wait to go to college, because I’m more fluent when I’m talking about...

I am ace at giving presentations. Here are my tricks. 1. Practice the hell out of it. Even the best speakers practice a ton before hand. Practice to the point that you dont even have to have the vis...

Thank you! That is the exact kind of advice that I was looking for. Ps I also agree with your point on novelty. Over the years, I’ve tried a bunch of techniques that work in the beginning and the effe...
