Yes, exactly, you got it. Also, I am not really sure what in particular helped me so much, but what I mostly did was read aloud passages of text and getting tips about breathing/speaking slower etc. I...

I started to speak faster when I was younger as a way of 'avoiding' stuttering, then I ended up speaking fast and stuttering.. not great! Trying to actively speak slower and think about what I'm sayin...

Maybe when you start to feel a stutter, you speed up to get out as much as you can on this go. I personally speak fast by nature, but the faster I speak, the less time my muscles have to coordinate wi...

A lot of people will just tell you not to let you're stutter limit you, and they're right; but it's also a lot easier said than done. It depends on how you feel about it. How you think you would feel ...

Speaking fast? Hi, I have a general question, does anybody here speak fast? My stutter was really bad like 5/6 years ago, being scared to talk in public, but my great speech therapist helped me a lo...

I insert "fucking" into a lot of my speech because it helps me not stutter. I used to use "like," but realized that people don't like hearing "like" all the time. I did, however, that nobody cares whe...

Stuttering has very little to do with anxiety, so I doubt it's college. Anyway, maybe try the delayed audio feedback apps out there? I stutter and frankly don't know if you can do anything about it. ...
