I feel as though my throat clenches up, and all of a sudden I need to take a deep breath. The breathing could be a coping mechanism though. My hands stay frozen in whatever position they are at that m...

I don't have any video recommendations, but I will also recommend some yoga or especially meditation. I've benefited greatly from meditation. It slows down my thoughts, my breathing and my ability to...

But how will you get better at speaking, if you don’t do it? I’m the opposite, I take the opportunity to go in front of the class and speak. Not in my full lecture (with about 130), but every Thursday...

I've tried a few things here and there, but nothing really worked. What has helped me is meditation, cutting coffee, and being honest with myself and not expecting perfection. It's fine if you stutt...

There is no cure. Speech therapy can help you learn tactics to deal with stuttering as it comes. Yoga/other can help with your breath. Mental health services can help you weather the frustration and i...

Try this anxiety breathing technique. Take a long, deep breath through your nose. Hold it for 3 seconds. Exhale slowly through pursed lips, while you relax the muscles in your face, jaw, shoulders, an...
