>"Really ruining my life. Does anyone have any possible pointers to help me out or what could possibly be causing this?" There isn't a one-technique because every stutterer has different symptoms, perspective and responses. Analyze your thinking/response pattern. In my experience, if I'm speaking alone then I don't have stutter symptoms, perspective and responses. When I'm in a feared situation I start overthinking: 1. I can't \[lack of confidence\] 2. I'll fail \[prediction\] 3. I don't have time to deal with overthinking \[lack of discipline\] 4. I don't believe in progress \[fixed mindset\] 5. Body sensations: stutter feeling, nervous feeling, problems breathing The first step to progress is to acknowledge this thinking (and behavioral) pattern. If this pattern is complicated behavior, I suggest to distinguish your patterns between: evidence vs non-evidence, opinion vs fact, emotion based vs rational, new information vs existing information, normal vs obsession, helpful vs unhelpful, content vs metacognitize, cause vs effect, personal root vs non-root, evaluation of stutter vs fluency. Step two is to deal with it how you think is most effective, i.e. self-talk vs observation, learning progress vs automation ​ >"I had a slight stutter from about 7-11, it went away and came back when I was 18ish" The advantage is that stuttering went into a 7 year remission. What you can try is analyze your thought pattern and ask yourself: 'Is this thought or feeling what I had in the 7 years of remission'? (i.e. the 5 thoughts I wrote above, but every stutterer is different so you probably have another thinking pattern)
