Just a thought; the reason could be that you have worked so much on your speech technique but you haven’t learned the feeling of speaking and being spontaneous. You may have learned to control your sp...

I have the same issue too. I use to squeeze my face some how before I say good morning. I don’t anymore. The only problem we stutterers have is breathing in before talking. Breathing is the main key ...

I don't think it's a good idea. Maybe this trick wil help you reduce anxieties and fears of stutter, but it's just a temporary expedient and stutter is not relevant to wrong breath intakes either, at...

Hey, I feel your frustration. My advice for the anxiety related to the stutter is mindfulness meditation. It works wonders. I made a post about it. Please check it out!...

Ok I'm not sure if that's going to be any useful but it helps me tremendously. So usually when I know I'm about to speak I get this almost panic attacks, my heart starts raising like crazy, my breath...

I done it on couple of occasions, it definitely helps me to concentrate but wouldn't say it had any impact on my speech. What I noticed recently that breathing helps a lot. Calm and slow breathing ri...

Hey, I also work in a fast paced environment and need to get my point across quickly and concisely. I find the only things that truly help are slowing my mind down and staying calm and cool, even duri...

As someone above said, try to be as confident as possible (through breathing exercises, talking to self in front of mirror, journaling… whatever you think works for you). Then be prepared to stutter, ...

First of all I would avoid using fillers, it's only gonna get worse. Try some relaxing techniques and get used to talking during exhaling(most of us don't know how to breath), your voice will be in lo...

It is about watchfulness. You do need to exert a minuscule amount of concentration to watch the breath though. It’s more effort than mindlessly dozing off....

Vigorous exercise followed by a mediation session = relief and improved fluency Works great for me. Considering stuttering seems to be a purely mental obstacle (for me), an exercise session burns of...

Everything you mentioned is great advice and so informative. thanks for sharing. All of these replies has made me excited to get into seeing him in person more after his exams, and with what you men...

This is an amazing post man. I need to discipline myself to do this daily. I know it will make a difference. Thanks for sharing....

Thanks Guitarman, I will check out your post. I'm a big believer in mindful and awareness. I feel like I have just been caught in a very negative thoughtloop and lost in the motions of fast paced west...

I see. I was there, maybe a week ago? By “there” I mean I too was in such a shitty, worthless feeling mental state. And then I rekindled my meditation routine and within days have a healthy sense of s...

Like everyone else says, I think you are a great sister for being there for him. Or brother, not sure if you specified. Anyways, I think the most fundamental thing you can do to help him, for *start...

I used to stutter on my name during class introductions in 9th-11th grade. And then, my confidence increase and I can say my own name in introductions, and I wonder the the hell I couldn’t do it befor...

I read it about a month ago, seemed quite relatable and made sense. I do my best to practice everything as stated. It’s still early to say that it’s helping me since I haven’t perfected the ‘crutches’...

Yes I did stop. Need to try it again. I was very young at the time and wanted more help from that certain therapist but she moved onto somewhere else. Her meditation consisted of me visualizing a st...

Man, so crazy. The stutter seems to only happen when we think about it. I forget to stutter sometimes and it is such a mind fuck. Did you stop meditating?...
