Honestly, it all comes down to trying to talk slower if you tend to talk fast. I know I naturally talk fast and I think it is a main reason why I stutter. Deep breaths are another good thing, especia...

Need some advice

Need some advice I’m a current high school junior, and I’ve been stuttering for as long as I can remember. I’ve been in speech therapy for just as long, and I’ve realized that my stutter is completely...

Hm I know this strays from the question but perhaps try getting yourself in that relaxed mindset you have in your room. Sounds like your stressing out too much with other people causing you to mess up...

I just turned 22 and i know how that feels mate. Speech therapy never helped me in the long term. November of 2019 was the worst in terms of my speech. In work meetings i could not say what i wanted a...

I'm glad mate. I joined a community which helped me a lot with breathing techniques and overall overcoming bad habits and my stutter has improved. Although it's true that im practicing a lot it's also...

It's hard, but you just have to practice and practice, until your muscle memory help you. I'm from Chile, a college student and practice helped me a lot, but the most important thing is relax, and chi...

Hey man I go through the exact same thing. I'll notice a week or two of my stutter being way worse then usual. I can usually bring it back to my normal level over about a week by just taking ten minut...

If I need to calm down myself quickly I use a box breathing technique. Very helpful, simple and quick. Breath in 4 counts, hold 4 counts, breath out 4 counts, hold 4 counts. Repeat few times. :)...

Whenever I noticed I'm having a really bad week speech wise even if I don't feel overly stressed I take a little time each day to just sit quietly for 10 minutes by myself and just kinda meditate. Jus...

Was going to say this, and is why I aim to be in a calm state every day. Yoga and meditation have helped immensely with this in my experience....

What your experiencing sounds like secondary behaviors. Those are things such as tension, head jerking, jaw tension, eye blinking, tongue protrusion, etc. Stuttering is variable and since your stutter...

Make sure to focus on your breathing during your words and know that you deserve to be heard and you’re in charge of the situation....

I'm no expert in meditation, and I certainly don't do it enough to know all the possible techniques, but Headspace is an app that has sessions for many situations and emotions, including anxiety. Also...

Would you say you’re under more than average stress lately? As a lifelong stutterer (29yrs) I found when I’m suffering from a lack of sleep or am more anxious than normal, my blocks/stutters/repetit...

Meditation has always been hard for me. Can you suggest which technique I should practice for keeping my mind away from anxiety. Also, the awkward silence is what I fear the most that has lead to me t...

Take 300mg of vitamin B1 + Magnesium. It helped me tremendously. Practice speaking with a morning voice. It facilitates the flow of air and you'll do abdominal breathing unconsciously....

Yeah that's tough. It's going to take practice, but if you trust your brain, it will come up with a proper response in the moment. It just needs the space and flexibility to process the other person's...
