I have started listening to music. I mean I have always listened to music but I have agoraphobia that is caused by social anxiety and I have started taking my headphones everywhere. Which I discovered the other day while playing cards eliminated my stutter. I was listening to music and my stutter is pretty mild and usually because of the word THE and I didn't stutter for hours until I took my headphones off. It was like I suddenly couldn't talk which is why I noticed the difference. Wearing the headphones while out in public helps both my social anxiety because I find comfort in music. However people who stutter can often sing without a stutter because music is processed by a different part of the brain so it kinda bypasses the part that stutters, even when just listening while talking for some. Worth a shot.
