Costal breathing is the base of all the techniques that are used throughout the course, but I really doubt anyone could use them unless properly shown how to, as I said, its a four day intensive cours...

That would be a mouthful for me. I have to say the name of my company multiple times every day. Always a consideration when switching jobs!...

Sometimes I'll answer the phone with a "Yo" because I stutter on "Hello." Maybe drop a "Yo" on them OP....

The obvious choice is to just say something else instead, and this is very important for stuttering management at all times, not just when saying "present". This is called substitution, and I would su...

I work as a server at a Sonic drive in. I definitely have a lot of bad days and I have mostly overcome my stutter since it first stared 13 years ago when I was just 9. I still have trouble with any "t...

Hey, don't give up ! I'm 25, stuttering since I'm young, i'm having some random blocking, it goes crazy when i'm anxious/ stressed out. I had those days that I couldn't even plug 3 single words in a ...

Shitty day today

Shitty day today So yeah, just another shitty day. Went to a career fair, stuttered more than ever. Got a few calls for information about my job applications that I sent last week, could hardly get my...

I just tell people I stutter before presentations and get that elephant out of the room. Then I don't have to try as hard to hide that shit. I don't get any better (sometimes I do) but i just power on...

I've developed my speech so that my mouth hardly moves at all because I didn't like it when people made fun of my stammer. I often have to repeat myself to people. Chewing gum puts the whole system ou...

Hey if you want a tip (All stutters are variable obviously but this has helped me) chewing gum reduces my stutter during presentations, try it and see if it does yours. And any triggers you can avoid ...

Stuttering through a Presentation

Stuttering through a Presentation I just needed a place to vent to people who can understand me. Just gave one of the worst presentations of my life, stuttering wise. I just never seemed to get a feel...

Thanks for the comment. I never believed that I would grow out of my stutter either, even though family members often told me I would. I think controlling frame has a lot of benefits beyond just makin...

This is something I'm actually trying to be more aware of - not trying to "keep up" with whoever I'm talking with. I find that if I change the framing to suit my pace, if I stutter it will at least be...

Stuttering and Frame Control

Stuttering and Frame Control Hi all, It's easier for me to be comfortable speaking and being a stutterer if I control the frame of my reality and also the frame of each conversation I have. I'm not ...

I'm the only person in my whole family who stutters. It's really weird, and makes it harder because no one really understands. A lot of my family has other anxiety related things, though, so that part...

feelsgoodman

feelsgoodman tfw you work as a pharmacy technician and it's your first job ever and it's only been the third day and the senior tech has you do drivethrough because people only come to pick up and the...

I tried propanolol but didn't find it to be helpful. I also tried sertraline which didn't change my stutter but helped with my mood so I'm still taking it (I think I have some anxiety that may or may ...

So, I just had a breakthrough...

So, I just had a breakthrough... First, I'd like to say thanks to everyone on this subreddit for all the positive and encouraging posts. I wish I had found this much sooner. I feel a kinship with all...

This doesn't seem "symmetrical" at all, to me. They don't have a stutter, so your treatment of them doesn't bring about the same effect. They won't really know how you feel, they'll just think you're ...

I think it was something like... she was having trouble pronouncing the name of her daughter, so she decided enough was enough, and started practicing. I don't quite remember the details. But it was c...
