My stutter was VERY severe. Now, I say this comparing to your average stutter. In situations outside my comfort zone, which was quite small at that, close friends and family only, I would/could take u...

Well, that's a good question that's hard to describe. I really suggest taking up yoga. It helped teach me to isolate muscles to learn to relax. I often just let my mouth, face go slack. That's how I l...

Well, do you stutter less if you talk without moving your lips? I do, at least to myself. I don't have the balls to talk like that in front of people , they'd think I was nuts lol. It does force you t...

Step #1: Throw any expectations out of the window. 'Will I be fluent or not?' 'Will I ever be a social person?' 'Will I ever do this or that?'. Forget all of that. Your only goal now it's to become th...

Hi there. A year and a half ago, I was where you were. I didn't think there was any hope for me. I thought I'd have a shit future, no career, no social life, I thought I'd remain an outcast. I was w...

I want to advocate that people practice mindfulness outside of a stuttering context. Yes it can be used to overcome stuttering but it has greater benefits. Generally speaking, we end up boxing ourselv...

I can confirm, mindfulness and a proper daily meditation practice has GREATLY increased fluency and made me care less about how other people think of me. Also eradicates anxiety overtime with a decent...

On amazon there is a book available called Mindfulness and Stuttering that I read last year. It describes which meditation practice can potentially benefit people who stutter. It was a good read and I...

I'm actually seeing a psychologist for anxiety in regards to my stutter, we just started talking about mindfulness and mindful meditation the other day but I've only just started practicing, it's only...

Mindfulness and Stuttering?

Mindfulness and Stuttering? This was the exact question I asked my mother when she wanted me to become more spiritual. She used to be a yoga teacher and advised, when I was younger, to practice mindfu...

Bro, it was at your age where things were at my worst for me. Felt the exact same way as you and wished it would go away. Kinda feels like your whole life is ruined if you're unable to communicate "no...

You could start by telling people how to relax. Different practices/methods that can help reduce anxieties (since you mentioned it's anxiety based). Maybe, if you know it, expand on what happens insid...

I was in the Navy and i got kinda buzzed one night at a party and everyone was surprised that i wasn't stuttering at all. It continues to this day. But for a job interview, i couldn't do it. My opinio...

I've struggled with stuttering my whole life as well my friend. it sucks, but what helps me is to remember to breathe and fact is, all we have is time. people are often in a rush, and it translates ov...

Nope. Baaaad idea. Alcohol helps you to disconnect from your mind (especially from damaging thoughts). But doing something like meditation can achieve the same result......

I've been on holiday over the last 4-5 days. Finally got the chance to see people's responses to this. I'm glad that people like it and see this as helpful. That's the idea. For me to share with you...

Totally agree with the root cause. It is 100% a sensitivity thing for me. HOW to apply this insight will depend on the individual, of course. I like to speak at a rhythm as though I'm singing. I take...

I'm getting a septoplasty and turbinate reduction (for a medical issue), which should enable me to breathe through my nose. I'm really hoping that it will affect my speech in a positive way. Much of t...

Indeed, the emphasis is on breathing. The technical side of it I don't really understand but regular swimming is supposed to make you more comfortable with your breathing or something like that....

Breathe deeply. All the time. It'll help you to relax. Or at least to help overcome the anxiety you have about your speaking. ...
