I think it’s funny, so I usually laugh at myself but I try not to because they usually invites others. You can work on it though...

Yea, using the technique of deliberate disfluency is difficult, but I feel like it always lessons my fear of speaking. And the more situations we do it in, the easier it becomes to do it again in othe...

Great to hear! The transformation in people is always amazing to see🤩 good on you! I use deliberate disfluency in certain situations if my fear level is significantly high. Although I still struggle ...

As practice and I guess as a form of pseudo cognitive behavioral therapy I would call random places from the phone book and then deliberately stutter. I would introduce myself, ask random menu related...

In response to your previous statement. I'd force yourself to stutter if you're really fluent to just explain that you have a stutter. I would not go deeper than that or say you are not normally this ...

Can I ask some questions so we can learn more about our problem? You said: " It is still harshly chopped up, with pauses ". \--> Right now, can you read out loud alone and deliberatey NOT pause i...

Awesome! Yea, I just wasn’t sure of your tone because we’re online lol. Yea, I think being ourselves is huge for the journey of recovery from stuttering. It’s so difficult, but I believe that if s...

Hey! It's probable that if someone doesn't fire you is not because of your stutter but because of you being uncomfortable with your own stutter. In general, that is what is going to affect the job, no...

I've got two. 1. Intentionally stutter during a few interactions. It's the hardest thing for a stutterer to do intentionally, but it gives a great muscle memory. Something about forcing it gives me ...

One thing that helped me is the soft start for blocking at the start of sentences is. Start every word with a very soft "h" sound under my breath. You can do it so it's undetectable, for exemple if ...
