That's down to opinion if they're hopeless or not! If you attempt both half heartedly you won't get the results! I would suggest looking at stammering websites for advice, I don't know where you are ...

I've recently been experimenting with this, but it seems like stress itself either helps or harms me. Sometimes it makes me fluent and other times it just makes things worse, but the breathing helps w...

Yeah. I think that for me, the idea of recognizing when I am stressed, worked up, and tense helps me to overcome it. By just taking a step back, I can relax in situations that I normally would not be ...

My speech pathologist addresses this in sessions every time, but I see it less and meditation and more just breathing exercises. I think it helps me, I don't entirely understand the why of it but it ...

What is your experience with meditation and stuttering?

What is your experience with meditation and stuttering? Just curious....

Yeah it's like every muscle in my torso is tight! Same I've tried meditating a couple of times but after a day at work I normally just want to watch tv! ...

I also have this problem, I have breathing techniques to use but I find once there is tension there I find it very hard to get rid of! I find my shoulders are raised, by breathing is jittery! Sometime...

And, I mean, besides working on the psychological aspects, there are speech therapy courses or speech therapists you could reach out to. For me, I found the speech therapy techniques needed to be comb...

Hey! Hang in there .. I have felt much of what you wrote on this post. I'm 30 now, and especially over the past few years, I've tried to slowly change my views about stuttering. I've done some speec...

I appreciate the reply. To be honest, I have a very difficult time about the breathing technique as I am new to it. My mouth and my head tend to resist trying pause mid sentence because I've been alwa...

Pretty much. I just, like yoga style, breathe in and breathe out (let all that tension out). It's not fool-proof, but it generally helps. I also talk in front of a lot of people fairly regularly. What...

Thanks for replying! I do tend to use "bridge sounds" and for me, it's words such as "like" and "so." This is useful whenever I'm not having severe stutter, but it becomes displeasing to both me and ...

Ah I know the feeling. It's tough. And the shame and depression following don't make it better. I know you're probably looking for re-assurance, and trust me this will pass but if I can share a couple...

Yes 100%, with being mute i feel like i would be able to accept it and get used to it. With stuttering it doesn't stay the same, the severity varies greatly which makes it really hard to accept. I rec...

I was taught in speech therapy to use “bridge sounds” (idk if that’s the right term) to bounce to sounds that are hard for me. Like W’s, which sometimes even as an adult I’ll have to start with saying...

Controlled breathing helps with blocks. Inhale before you speak, and softly exhale as you speak. Often when I became flustered and stutter, it helps to just stop, calm your self, and mentally prepare ...

To add to this though -- I still do the practices daily, it's something for me to hang on to rather than just feeling bad about myself. And really simple things, like breathing while you talk, I never...

Discord Voice Chat #3 - Sun 01/Oct/2017 @ 22:00 UTC Come talk with other stutterers this Sunday at 22:00 UTC. We all stutter, so there's nothing to worry about, you wont be judged, we are all going th...

I usually start with "just to let you know, sometimes when I am nervous, I stutter" -especially if I am having a bad stutter day. That's always worked for me. At least they'll give you time to ge...

Practice with friends family over the phone. And relax there is no pressure or stress needed when phoning to friends or family....
