do have any tips when dealing with d, a and b blocks? I'm 17 and never had blocks until last year. I've always loved talking and growing up my stuttering was on and off/elongation. It never bothered me clearly as I volunteered to give a speech in front of the whole school (1000+ kids) and despite stuttering was proud of myself. Then randomly I started to get blocks instead where my tongue gets paralyzed at the beginning and it feels like there's no way to get the word out. I've tried talking slowly, light touch, elongation like everything and I still can't get it out. The funny thing is that I'm able to say it in a very soft voice but can't say it in my normal volume. It's really bothering my confidence and I wanna switch ym blocks into a "less severe" form of stuttering.
