Anyone Tried This Techinque For Stuttering - Pretend your voice is being controlled externally My theory is that in many cases, stuttering is when your body expresses anxiety through the systems involved in talking. Anxiety will get expressed some way or the other. For most people it will be increased heart rate, breathing, sweaty palms, shaking hands, etc. Your mind will find one outlet and use that. Which is why they say that people will often time start stuttering if they suddenly pick up the habit one day during childhood. Like copying a friend. Being a long term anxiety sufferer, I have learnt that if you spend enough time in situations that make you uncomfortable, you can eventually learn to simply not express that anxiety. It will exist, but it just won't get expressed. There have been times where I've completely freaked out inside my head but the person who's sitting right opposite me cannot tell the difference because I look the same to them. So the technique is this - Seperate your anxiety from your body. Just let the anxiety exist on its own. Let your body be controlled by what needs to be done rather than your " real-time mind ". Your real-time mind is the one that experiences anxiety and is working in the present moment. Your decision making mind is the logic based part of your mind that decides to make a decision, and then activates again whenever the next decision is to be made. Think of it as a " turn-based game ". So if you need to recite a sentence, just make the decision to recite it. There's no turning back or modification after that point. Your real-time mind is no longer in control of your speech after that decision is made. I tried this recently. It seemed to work. I was able to recite an entire sentence with no stuttering. But it's not easy to get into this way of thinking. It's easy to slip up and let anxiety poison your body all over again. ​
