You’re asking the million dollar question. In short, it takes practice. What I will do is talk to my family and try to get myself to stutter, which isn’t hard. Since I know they don’t care, I can real...

Truth! A great social activity that involves little talking is hiking. I think my stutter has helped me to be comfortable by myself. There is no such thing as an awkward silence to me. My new bos...

A lot of speech techniques, including speaking slowly, concentrating on my tongue's moves (it threw stuttering away for one day) or concentrating on my blocks and ease them, beathing with diaphragm, m...

I feel your pain my friend.. my name starts with an "A" and I can hardly get it out most of the time. I started going by a nickname that rolls off the tongue a bit better but I normally still have to ...

with practice it won't sound that way. I know what you're saying, but if you habitually breathe with your diaphragm - it won't sound like you're making an effort to breathe a certain way....

I totally second the diaphragmatic breathing!! Watched YouTube videos (and a Ted talk) on it and it has helped a lot with my fluency. ...

I had been on speech therapy, when i was like 7-8 y.o. We practiced speaking by syllables (making a pause after each one). I dont feel like it helped me. I didnt want to speak by syllables with other ...

Helped me in many ways. ​ I am fluent whenever I read out loud, so It got me in a "fluent state of mind". Also helped me practice breathing, pausing every 3-5 words so I would breath, spe...

Look up diaphragm breathing. You need to do it, all day, everyday until it's your normal breath. It does help but won't stop your stuttering. Reading outloud is good practice, but practicing 'improm...

We did an exercise where we said "the mouth, the teeth, the tip of the tongue" and we would repeat that over and over. We did a lot of alliteration like that and practiced breathing exercises. We als...

I don’t know. I do think there is a fundamental difference in language processing in the brains of stutterers vs. “non-stutterers” (quotes because no one is 100% fluent). Personally I started when I ...

focus on your breathing and use gentle starts is what works for me. I am sure you've covered that part with your therapist already. ...

I am 57 and have dealt with this since I was 8. I understand all of your feelings associated with this soul crushing problem. 2 weeks ago I started speech therapy for the first time in my life. It ha...

Hi there! You're going to get tons of good advice in here and guidance. Speech therapy can be a wonderful thing for helping with stuttering and there are so many success stories. Stuttering can be lin...

I had a bad stutter when I was younger and I took a communication skills class at school and it completely went away, now it only comes back if I'm extremely stressed. I would recommend seeing if your...

I know that feel... it's terrible. I don't have a solution man :( I just try to exhale deep and take a quick pause....

I've been going to a speech therapist recently which has helped me a lot. The therapist has taught me tools that help me avoid blockages such as: 1. Easy onset (taking a deep breath before starting a...

I close mu eyes and my eyes twitch when i hit a block. Stopping and taking a breath helps sometimes...

When that happens to me I stop completely, close my eyes, take a deep breath and try again. You should watch some videos online of stutterers, you will quickly realize there are tons of people with th...

I love the "Chemistry" thing going here :-). Yes. My difficulty was being patient with myself. Not trying to "power through" the block. That just makes it worse. Learning to stop. Breath. Chill o...
