I can imagine that you are really in your comfort zone when you are talking about the things you are writing and that makes you more fluent. Every person who stutters has their own individual patterns...

Starting with "my name is (blank)" or "Hi, I'm (blank)" are definitely good spring boards. Often times, I will say my name before I am asked for it, as I feel there is more pressure/anxiety subconscio...

I think the very best first sentence is "Hi, I am (name). I just want you to know that I have a stutter. if it happens, just wait and let me finish. That's all." Self-disclosure is so powerful. It mig...
