On a lot of intensive courses say the same thing. Filler words should be ruled out when talking. The same goes for other tricks. I used to be a very very heavy user of 'ehh' when blocking, it sounds ...

The fear of not being able to get the word out, is the fear of stuttering. Stuttering isn't only repetitions like b-b-b-ball. When we get hard blocks, we are holding back from making sound because we ...

Yeah! My fiance stutters a bit when he gets overexcited but it's nothing like mine har har har. But yeah I don't see why not - I have a pretty blase relationship with my stutter now though. Probably b...

Yeah. I've been spending every night talking to myself in the mirror to practice muscle relaxation and slowing down my rate of speaking to allow room for more breath control. I've been reading out lou...

I was in the same boat as you. Stutter/stammer/stopping since i could speak. Not terrible, but enough to eat at me at times. I joined the USAF. Had to say "airman" a lot and about 80% of my stutter g...

I mean she didn't judge me for stuttering. She judged me for lack of confidence... She thought I was nervous and therefore stuttered... ...

Calling stuttering a habit is incredibly ableist. It's not like cracking your knuckles or some shit. It actually has anatomical causes, it's not something we accidentally learn how to do one day and c...

Glad to hear that you got away safe! Sometimes it is better not to talk. Any fool could've made the situation worse with a lot of talking. I recognize the weakness you are writing about, it is deep ...

OP was asking how to interact with their father when he stutters. If you're saying that OP should tell their father to do these things, I have to disagree. Fluent people telling people who stutter wha...

Physically stuttering?

Physically stuttering? Hi all, I've been stuttering ever since I was young and saw a speech therapist when I was in elementary school but never again afterwards. I also started playing the piano at a...

I have buffers as well which sometimes include weird eye rolls and twitch of the face. My only suggestions is to become aware if what you are saying and trying to control the buffer when it comes. Thi...

It does get messy because one sounds louder than their usual tone while using local projection, and if there is a block, then, in order to get it out, you'd do anything, which usually makes you sudden...

Not as if you are shouting. It's a bit of drama jargon - it involves 'pushing' your voice out of your vocal cords via your diaphragm. What I am intending (sorry for not being straight to the point) is...

If your on the phone that means you are free to use all the facial ticks and arm/leg spasms you want to get through a block....
