Seems like you are really resisting stuttering in front of people, causing you to block badly on words. Have your tried voluntary stuttering? Disclosing that you stutter? My life got so much easier wh...

I have the same problem. I have been seeing a speech pathologist for a few months now. One of the things we started working on is voluntary stuttering. When you feel a block, you can usually enunciate...

I am seeing a speech therapist, now facetiming once a week since I am back in university and we focus on desensitizing negative feelings of stuttering by enforcing various techniques. One such techniq...

Thank you for the advice and the recommendations. I agree I think my next steps are trying to desensitised feeling about my stuttering. I used to stutter frequently with my sister in law about 2 year ...

Do you think that practicing both separately will help? If I were to constantly say 'bubble' normally over and over, I would barely improve because I simply cannot do it speaking normally like you say...

Yo that's good idea I've never thought of, just calling random places that you would most likely never going to talk to again to desensitize yourself from the stutter when in real situations....

Exposure is definitely the cure. My speech hasn't really improved throughout my life, but stuttering is not an issue to me anymore. I'm infinitely more concerned about if I have a booger in my nose. ...

Thank you for this thread. Very well written. To the part of using psychedelics, I think it's a very valuable experience. I would not recommend trying them when you are in that self-pity hole full of ...

Best way I can describe it is like running or math the more you do it / talk the better you become over time trial and error that's what helps me , the never quit or fear mindset ...

Exposure. Let yourself be burned. You've got to build up the scar tissue. The fire stops hurting after long enough in it. You've got a good attitude, so you're already making progress. Just don't shy...

Confront the things that scare you & stress you out. Think about something that makes you uncomfortable. Something that stresses you out a little just thinking about it, like maybe calling someon...

While it might help you, there might be more effective ways to deal with your stutter (voluntary stuttering, Van Riper's 'speech correction' methods etc). I say this only because we have limited time ...

When I say techniques I'm referring to all the different types of speech therapy that I've been taught. I went on something called the starfish project where they tie a belt around your chest and ask ...

you are trying everything to NOT stutter and that creates a lot of tension. try to stutter on purpose a few times (yes, thats not a joke) and you will see that through acceptance the tension lessens a...

Creating a group dedicated to helping each other overcome their stutter.

Creating a group dedicated to helping each other overcome their stutter. Hey, my name is Caleb. I've had a stutter my entire life. As a kid, it didn't really affect how I interacted with people or my ...

Armydude19 has it right, IMO. The only thing that will actually work is exposure. Everything else is a bandaid that will only prolong and worsen the problem. Everyone goes through an experimentation ...

I've taken Xanax. Doesn't help. What's helped is just getting myself out there and forcing myself into situations where I'd stutter. (Phone calls, interviews, talking to strangers, etc). ...

No, I prefer boiling them in hot water. Joke aside, you do make a good point. I haven't really given much thought to the other side of the problem(yes I know it sounds stupid). But I do try to tease...

Babble. Cross my eyes. Basically make fun of myself. As long as in the one doing it and nobody is dumb enough to join in, it's a good release. Thankfully nobody who I'm around regularly is an idiot, ...

Yea man, you're a stutterer. The first step is coming to terms with that. And you sound like the way I was, in the closet stutterer. I've done it all in the past - tongue clicks, groans, w/e. Have you...
