Yeah, makes sense. As the effects wear off our sympathetic tone slowly returns, external evaluation returns, tension and self monitoring vigilance rises again. There’s the vicious cycle. Look up the...

A few hours. Then after enough fight or flight moments during the day, my body stiffens up again. I think I need to practice regular breathwork, meditation throughout the day?...

Makes sense. A nice warm shower drops cortisol, relaxes you and strongly activates the parasympathetic nervous system (via the vagus nerve), which dampens the sympathetic “fight-or-flight” response. ...

Every time I come out of the shower my speech improves a lot, over 50%. Maybe the hot shower is relaxing my nervous system. My chest doesn’t feel so tight when I am trying to speak

Wow, thanks for this information. It is very interesting, and I will be looking into how to help my 7 year old with breathing techniques. Do you mind citing the source showing where this information c...

Very interesting on the breathing. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I haven't gone super deep on the breathing as you have, but I have had to slow down everything from breathing to enunciat...

The process started from the age of 40 (presently 55) when I was able to leave the corporate world, and I decided that I wanted to actively try and reduce my stutter. My first observation was that m...

What were the things you felt helped out the most with your stuttering? Was it the things you list above such as meditation, breathing, etc.? Did you try things like reading out loud consistently or t...

In that case, look up the 4-7-8 breathing techniques / exercises. It’s really good at relaxing and reducing anxiety, but you need to stick with it, daily! It activates your vagus nerve fairly quickly ...

Notice how your breath is in flow..... relax, just observe it... in, out, in out.... watch how, by doing so, you chill out, your mind calms. After while, make a sound as you exhale... again, see how e...

I hope it's ok to share this, but it doesn't feel right not to respond to your post here. I'm a professional singer and actor and private voice teacher. I spoke with a prominent stutter into my early ...

Personally, I would agree with your assessment. I think stuttering can be very different for different people, though. In my case, my stuttering has improved dramatically over the years. I chose to ...

I’m starting to think we don’t need speech therapists, we need to learn breathwork, we need to meditate, ease our bodies and minds...

Yes there are many supplements that help with anxiety and nervous system repair. Breathing properly, especially in social settings is a massive problem for us. It’s like, we run out of air way quicker...

Magnesium glycinate help me to handle the anxiety but still I'm not fluent it has something to do with breathing too...

Oh I know I stutter lol but the reason is because my nervous system is damaged, I have very severe social anxiety. I speak fluently when I am alone. I think I need to start researching how to repair t...

I more or less did and I became a teacher and I talk to everyone. Turns out it was largely anxiety but I still do struggle with some words. I'll often sandwich those words to the middle of the sentenc...

Thanks for your comment! I'm already breathing from my diaphragm. Tbh I've already accepted my stuttering, I just want to minimize it for my work. So that's why I want to find a natural way to redu...

I feel like over time you just learn to become more vulnerable in both stuttering and being upfront about saying you have a stutter. By that I mean you do a mindset shift and just think whatever happe...

Only make those efforts if it’s valuable to you. Nobody else gets to dictate how you express yourself. I’ve gone to pretty large extents with some extended family members when they commented on it of...
