What i did to counter this problem: Try to replace your ticks when stuttering away from your face. Youre jerking your head because you are really tense. Practise to not let yourself get influenced ph...

Thats exactly how I feel and think. If my stupid, self pitying mind can create this, surely it can fix it too. Someone gave me a link to a podcast about fake stuttering and how it can help you overco...

I try that in work but when I focus on it, I forget how to do it and end up stuttering more. It seems I speak better when I forget about my stutter and breathing. I also get a sore chest too, but I'm ...

Can't say it is a 'technique', but I tried 'desensitization', where I distracted myself off fluenecy. I tried to give up focusing on my fluency after I hit high school and back then I thought I shoul...

Definitely! That's why it's important to do the things that make your anxious about your stutter( like ordering through the drive through) occasionally, just so you know you can. If you avoid it too...

"I don't know if it looks vulnerable or just weak and stupid, honestly." Exactly, you don't know. You don't know the listener's experience so don't make assumptions. You can stutter easy or hard. Try...
