> speaking softly and just consciously using whats called "gentle starts" on your words can really help to lessen stuttering< Great tip! I have the exact same feelings as OP. I've got the feeling that I stutter more when I'm asked to repeat myself. I had an interview a week ago for a job I really wanted and I was so nervous. I even flipped my coffee cup! So, that started really good /s. During the interview I calmed down and I actually started to talk in a softer voice when I was telling a story and it came out fluently. Do make sure you tell your anecdotes in STAR style. I've had speech therapy, physiotherapy, haptonomy but I feel like I know what I should do but don't find the peace of mind to do it. I'm employed right now and have said to myself I would do everything the coming two years to reduce or get over it. As long as you are confident you can get a job you want. There is a job out there for you!
