I get the same way, and if it's really bad, I get a lip twitch. It's a speech block. If I'm stressed or anxious, it's very strong. If it's with family, like I have to tell them something important tha...

I believe the best thing like many of the post have said here is exposure. You expose it enough and you begin to figure it out. The more I get on the phone, the more I learn what I am doing right and ...

I basically take a positive thought and try to go over that thought as many times in a day as I can. I've found consciously doing it helps a lot otherwise I have been assaulted with negative thoughts ...

Couldn't agree more, I could probably write a whole thread on psychedelics on how they enhanced my life and perspective in a number of positive ways, but they definitely aren't for everyone - and I ag...

Also, try finding a excercise-related hobby - our bodies are designed to respond well to that both mentally and physically. Guided meditation is also a great tool to try, don't think yoga-like poses e...

No, that would simply lead to an infinite loop of using more and more superfluous techniques, while not working on the fundamental problem; your stuttering. I find breathing exercises to be the best ...

Stuttertip: Make sure you start to breathe out and THEN speak

Stuttertip: Make sure you start to breathe out and THEN speak So I saw this in another forum. When you want to say something, start to breath out and then speak. Make sure you started to breathe about...

I also do stutter, but slowing down your rate of speech through phrasing and keeping the abdomen relaxed with free flowing breathing, can actually greatly decrease your stuttering. ...

Sorry to hear that happened. Next time, should you pause, BREATHE. It's normal to forget about your breathing when talking on the phone but be conscious of it. Use fewer words in a sentence too if n...

SLP here. Thanks for reaching out to learn more about how to help your daughter. I don't stutter and I know you were asking the people here who do stutter, but I still feel like I have (hopefully) h...

Phrasing- The way to speak with complete control

Phrasing- The way to speak with complete control I have been in speech therapy for the past 2 years and I wanted to share what I thought was the most important aspect of fluent speech and what has hel...

I listen to the ones that deal with emotional health. I listen to them over and over again. I think this should just be used as a tool, not a solution. But I think the better we learn to manage our em...

Subliminal Messages For Stuttering

Subliminal Messages For Stuttering I was always amazed at my ability to read out loud when no one was listening and then start talking to someone or get on the phone and start stuttering again. Thus...

Two things before I get into my answer: 1. You're only 17. It's still a young age to get a job. But... 2. At some point you are going to have to go through the job application process. It's natura...

It might. But the withdrawal symptoms are deadly. Maybe look into other anxiolytics like L-Theanine. I did take modafinil before a job interview, but if you don't pace yourself it'll just make things...

Just what I needed to hear. I very recently started practicing mindfulness and now I just have to continue. Thanks for the advice....

Practice. Creating new mental habits. Ask people for directions on the street, use the phone as much as possible, join a toastmasters and do public speaking. It's all about expanding your comfort zo...

So, a lot of it is because of breathing? I fully agree! I think what you are describing is similar to costal breathing. There's an app for training that, called, similarly, keep it costal.I'm using it...
