There is a physical aspect of speaking that needs to be addressed. This is what traditional therapies tend to try to do. However there is a space before the physical aspect of speaking that is the roo...

Understanding OP's post more, I think this is kind of the wrong question to ask? Fluent speakers don't stutter period. Stuttering starts in the mind with anticipation and control. Fluent speakers ma...

Stop pushing. To stop blocking you need to make the sound you're afraid to make (the stuttered sound). You can't do this in difficult situations, you can only start working on it in the safest/easiest...

Are you talking about more than blocking? Your body knows how to make sound, some of that sound may be disfluent but you've been conditioned that that's not acceptable so you avoid it at all cost, thu...
