Forced exposure therapy. Put myself in different work positions, and high ed situations that forced myself into social interactions. Which has been helping significantly....

Sure, you could DM me. I live in the US, so time zones might be an issue, but DM me and maybe we can arrange a time to practice a few days a week....

To build on this, grab the phone book (I am dating myself here 🙂) and call a store and ask for their hours or if they carry a certain product. This is great exposure therapy in a sense. To me, phon...

Next time you go to a shop, ask a shop assistant where something is. Next time you want something to eat, go to the counter rather than self checkout. Start a hobby and tell people it is your first ti...

Exposure therapy, my friend. I’ve gotten heavily into the medical field lately (nursing school & taking different workforce programs- Phlebotomy,CNA, EMT, etc) that all forced me into social interac...

I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just “the more I stutter, the more I stutter” and “the less I stutter, the less I stutter” nonetheless building positive experiences is really important. Go out an...

From my experience a feared word becomes less frightening if I purposefully use it more and find opportunities to do so. Attack it until it’s not as scary....

Yes! It was part of a residential program I did in Geneseo NY many years ago. Definitely helped me. If I start feeling avoidant about blocking I will go out and openly stutter, I find it helpful...

Off and on I’ve considered it. I never have because it’s taking me an awfully long time to realize that if somebody has a problem with my stuttering, that’s their problem not mine. Of course it has de...

Something i have discovered with stuttering is, the more we expose ourselves to speak the easier it become to speak. Its like brick wall, and we start to destroy it taking brick by brick....

Dinner in the dark

Dinner in the dark I won't make this long. When you have dinner in the dark you don't see people how they see you when you stutter. This is a good experience for someone who stutters. Makes you think ...

Go out and expose yourself like exposure therapy. This time stutter on purpose, try to stutter, it goes against what most stutterers think. Expose yourself, do things you fear, and deliberately try to...

Finally have a job, make random phone calls everyday, order food and drinks at the counter instead of having to do it on the app. Be more happy and approachable to others, start conversations....

Try to stutter instead. Purposely stutter. Do not fight it. Make the giant that is stuttering insignificant like an old senile person....

What helps me

What helps me Do not fight it, overthink it, instead try to stutter. I have tried it and it’s helped me expose myself to things I used to avoid. It’s basically exposure therapy with a slight mindset s...

Yes, volentarely stuttering ist a great way, to deal with it. On one hand such technique called fluency shaping (there are other techniques as well) can help you to accept your symptoms and you learn ...

I’d argue this technique is effective when paired with other methods like a disclosure statement. For me, voluntarily stuttering was just super awkward. Not in a “oh gosh, I look silly/off.”, but in a...

Yes, it helps ALOT. You will have to exaggerate it multiple times and then talk about your stuttering. At first it can make your stuttering increase because of the stress, but keep doing it and it wil...

I did it for years. I’m as close to being desensitized to stuttering as I have ever been. I know deep in my bones that stuttering won’t hurt me. I’ve stuttered to countless people on purpose and it wo...

I did for a while, but since my stutter is heavily emotional and I'm fluent most of the time, it's kinda hard to keep doing it for too long and I eventually stop without realizing it....
