Doing practice phonecalls So I've been doing some practice phonecalls to pharmacies asking for random medicines and if I need prescriptions for them. I try to talk slowly with clear pronounciation and...

My method for reducing speaking anxiety: practicing real-life tasks

My method for reducing speaking anxiety: practicing real-life tasks I’ve had a stutter my whole life. A few years ago, I came across Acceptance and commitment therapy ACT, and it helped me start accep...

Reading out loud in general is useful. If you're already pretty fluent by yourself, it means the nerves are simply getting to you when other people are around. That's something very common as public s...

It’s called “Voluntary Stuttering” and lets you be in control of how and when you choose to stutter. My daughter does this occasionally. She chooses places where it can be hard (ordering a drink at St...

I think all those physical symptoms, are reduced and significantly managed by taking off all that pressure, not hide your stutter, and instead do the opposite and try to willingly stutter. Do the oppo...

No solution indeed. That is life. Still, I would recommend you get into exposure therapy of some sort. Stutter on purpose. What happened for me was I stuttered on purpose in countless occasions now no...

I really feel what you’re describing. I used to feel physically sick before presentations. I’d stay up late practicing again and again, just to make sure I didn’t stutter even one word. But the next m...

I’ve stuttered my whole life. Acceptance helped, but practicing small speaking tasks helped me face my fear of speaking

I’ve stuttered my whole life. Acceptance helped, but practicing small speaking tasks helped me face my fear of speaking Hi everyone, I’m Alex Wong. I’m from Malaysia and currently living in Europe. I’...

i felt every word in this post like i was the one typing it. 32M here, been battling with stuttering for 26 years now. i’ve also reached that “fake fluency” stage, but honestly? it just makes you soun...

i took golden teacher shrooms and they didn't reduce BUT it made it that I genuinely did not give a fuck about the stutter so the words flowed but stuttered, i think that's how it feels to reach pure...

Great post! My general advice would be instead of avoiding trigger words, that you pointed out. Try to mindfully accepting/allowing the thoughts/emotions of trigger-words i.e., acknowledge them. After...

That is a smooth way to come out about your stuttering in my opinion...

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. That’s a fascinating psychosomatic link you’re struggling with. It sounds very debilitating so I have a lot of empathy for what you must be going through. I like the i...

i imagine it might be bit difficult for a 10 yo to stutter voluntarily, esp among kids of the same age group. But I'm sure the therapist knows what they're doing. I've never worked with kids, and only...

My 10 year old is in speech therapy, and I was so confused at the concept of stuttering voluntarily. Thanks for explaining the benefit! So far, they've only touched on that strategy, but thanks to you...

I've worked with speech coaches (and some professional therapists), and based on what I learned, I've also coached few friends/acquaintances. From my experience, the difference between people that see...

I remember I blocked on my name once when I was drunk and introducing myself to people with my friend. When I blocked he made a joke saying he forgot and I casually said ya that happens sometimes. I t...

I tink in a sense shadowing and singing might have lots of similarities. when we sing or shadow-speak "the song itself is usually pre-scripted" so we are singing "random lyrics" and not "our true opin...
