My speech therapist in the 6th grade had me do meditation. It's the only thing that actually worked on me. I was fluent the rest of the school year and the whole summer. Unfortunately I relapsed (is t...

That's great, I am literally starting my meditation routine today, hoping to teach my nervous system how to shut down the emegency response, all the best my friend!...

Meditation resets your nervous system and helps our brains get out of the 'fight or flight' response that I suppose most of us stutters struggle with. This is what my therapist told me anyway...

The single most important thing for a stutterer to do - please read!

The single most important thing for a stutterer to do - please read! Can we all agree that *most* of the time the most draining and painful thing we experience is the *thoughts* about stuttering and n...

A few drinks makes me more fluent too. It Seems like alcohol isn't the fix. It's the reduction in social anxiety that's helping. Alcohol is just the relaxer. You may not even realise you are anxious o...

My limit is 2 drinks (Rum & Coke). I've been told I should drink 24/7 because of the 100% fluency but that is not a viable option for me. I'd rather focus on mindful meditation and reading 📚 o...

Take a deep breath into your stomach/diaphragm, and then exhale. As you breath out, say three words e.g. cat mouse dog. Imagine your breath out like a wave and your words need to surf the wave. It’s a...

I would say a mix would be helpful. I was an adult in speech therapy but I enjoyed doing half of the hour session about the method (such as pull out) and the other half as the mental health side of it...

I never did speech therapy as a kid, and it wasn't very affective as an adult but I'd say the best thing I gained is acceptance of myself as a stutterer and a few lessons in anxiety reduction. I'm no...

Holy shit. Yes i will be careful! I'm so sick of talking. And i'm super far away from being shy. I just need to calm down for a while. Only talk when i have too. And only get to the point. And of cour...

Yes thank you for your comment. I definetly need to breath more when i talk. And i need to tone down my stress and anxiety...

I used to feel tension in my throat and other areas of my body when i stuttered but what helped me was just relaxing. Take a deep breath before you talk then say the words as calmly as you can. Stress...

You’re right, I need to remind myself that there is always another time to share my thoughts and ideas, just have to be at peace with that and be kind to myself...

The Gameplan: putting stuttering research into action to improve fluency This chapter makes a lot of references to my [two](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/pl522u/neuropathology_why_stuttere...

Yo so I’ve been doing that breathing technique and I called up a local store using my trigger words, Guess what? No stutter! Thanks imma be using this...

I'll add to this that specifically Diaphragmatic breathing helps me A LOT. Google it and lots of good videos will come up. And don't be afraid to pause while you breathe. Good luck, you got this!!!...

First, no one is "normal" and please do not compare yourself to others. Also, every day do one little thing that you would normally not do and see if you can do it. Pushing yourself out of your comf...

Rest. Breathing better also made a big difference to me (making an effort to take deep, full breaths so I'm not running out of air). I'm talking on Zoom this week to 40 people. You'll do fine!...

Yea i agree 👍. I started reading aloud recently for 5 to 10 minutes aday, and then i read aloud again with dr mort cooper speech( its like extra phonation into your speech) and finally i recite words...

Thx for advices, in my language stutterer is so much easier to say. If needed to present my thesis in English I would definitely use speach disorder. I will try to relax my some meditation before...
