I notice that I start sweating, like immediately, when I start stuttering....

Yeah, i know that feel, but often i keep moving my hand even though i'm not stuttering anymore....

It's very common for people who stutter to display what are called *secondary behaviors* when stuttering. Secondary behaviors are physical actions such as blinking, nodding/head movements, stamping th...

Anyone else feel the need to move when stammering or stuttering?

Anyone else feel the need to move when stammering or stuttering? Often my feet, or maybe just my hand up and down....

thats very good and im quite happy for you. He's gone to this program several years ago and done a few refreshers, but he still doesn't have great control and even though he uses the technique more th...

You're right, doing it on the street is a whole other level. I assume the coaches speak fluently because they've practiced so much they can do the "controlled normal" or whatever it is you call it. B...

From what I've experienced, things like this are really just learned behaviors to escape the stutter. You at one point rolled your eyes back and got through a stutter at the same time, so you associat...

Rant: I'm 24 and I don't know what to do

Rant: I'm 24 and I don't know what to do I've been stuttering since I was in first grade. Following an embarrassing and pathetic "Talent Show" We were forced to take part in, I had the joy of being pa...

my stutter got a lot worse over the course of a year (when i first started working at a firm and the environment wasn't at all great) so i did some speech therapy. the eye rolling was one of my "tech...

I noticed myself starting to do that, so I will close my eyes and try to talk really slow. I try to pretend that I am trying to relax and get a hold of my thoughts. ...

This is what is called a "secondary behavior" in response to the stuttering moment (core behavior). Most people who stutter may also have a technique such as foot tapping, finger scratching, etc....

My eyes roll back but i sort of use it as a distraction method before i say the word i know i will have difficulty on so the person im talking to just thinks im trying to think of a word to say....

A lot of people have different facial ticks. It sounds like its not helpful trying to force out the words with force, so maybe when you get stuck in a block, try to release, reset, and try again....

It happens a lot to me, on the worst of my blocks. It'll occasionally happen when I'm driving and once it did and I was told to "just stop talking." I don't know what it is or why I do it but it drive...

Mine do when I block really badly. I tend to look at the ceiling so it looks less strange though....

Mine used to. I would have all kinds of facial tics when I blocked hard on a word, almost like my body was using all the energy it could to get the word out, but it just made it worse. ...

Nope, but I divert my eyes and place a hand over my mouth when I stutter. As if that helps but its instinctive. ...

Mine definitely do. I also have a habit of instinctively shutting my eyes when I'm in the middle of a difficult word :) I think it's another involuntary body movement that many stutterers experience...

Blocks. When that happens, my hand automatically goes to adjust my glasses, which is awkward because I get am so conscious of that. I probably look even stupider doing that. I cannot make myself stop...

Hey, I just want to let you know something incredibly important and useful which I myself (a mild stutterer) came up with =]
