Stuttering when planning sentences/words

Stuttering when planning sentences/words Heya! Been struggling with stuttering for the past year, but it seems slightly different than most explanations of stuttering online. Stuttering for me comes...

Counting how many turns left and hoping for the class to end before your turn comes. Man this anticipation was like hell....

yeah i definitely feel like the reason why it happened was because i had panicked, so doing what you did would have helped. thank you...

panicked and refused to do the icebreaker in class my class today did icebreakers/introducing yourself to the class and when it got to my turn i panicked so hard and just said “no thank you i’ll pass”...

Having more control over your mind

Having more control over your mind Hello, so I saw a post that talked about how in order to stop anticipating a word that you will stammer over, you need more control over your brain. I have noticed t...

I don't think you need to tell them... if it happens, then they'll know. Can you practice the interview with a friend beforehand? Try to anticipate the type of questions they'll ask, and maybe it wil...

Can someone explain/help me understand this experience?

Stuttered in class

Stuttered in class So today is my first day of classes for the new semester. I went to class today trying to hype myself up for the introduction part but when it came to my turn I just couldn’t do it....

It's impossible to describe. Basically you know what you want to say, and you know how to say it... But you also know you will block on that word before you even start saying it... It's like the brain...

Same here. I’m 40 and don’t stutter much these days, but the possibility of having a block is always on my mind when talking in front of a group. I’m also returning to school this week to begin a new ...

What is this? I don't stutter, but I "block", and it only happens when I'm anxious. The anxiety can be due to speaking in front of a crowd, or it can be anticipatory anxiety about a certain word that begins with a certain letter that I know I've blocked on in the past.

I’m sure 98% of people who block “sense thrm coming”. Understanding the difference *is the key* to drastically and semi-permanently reducing blocks. Prepping synonyms and probably that breathing is ...

I’ve thought about that, but I am apparently not the only one who senses blocks coming, preps breathing corrections (HCRI techniques) or synonyms....

I can relate to this really hard. Overthinking/anticipating exactly what I’m going to say is 100% the cause of my blocks. Also, I’m laughing so hard at the part about asking a non stutterer “what stra...

do you ever lay in bed at night and think about how everyone can speak normally and you tell yourself “i could totally speak well too” with some momentary optimism, but then you remember that if that were true, it would have happened already?

You sorta have it reversed- you actually block because you are expecting to block...

Nah, just the first one or if I get the stutters’ sixth sense on a block coming....
