Well i dont really repeat. Most of my stuttering is in the form of blocking as well, often silent. I sometimes prolongate but thats when im actually trying to stutter out the word. Blocks are bad man,...

Reading this made me feel very happy with myself. Just like yourself, I am 18, and have stammered since a young age. Small groups or friends is usually no problem, but required public speaking, especi...

Hey, nice of you to include a stuttering character and to come to us with questions. Like others have said, there are a lot of different ways to stutter. The prolongations and repitions are the most...

First, I think having the character having a stutter, but not having it as his defining characteristic is a great idea and will make for an interesting character. I think he should stutter less durin...

Breathing helps blocks. The momentum of the breath helps me push out the word. It dpesnt always work and sometimes it feels strange breathing mid sentence though. Worth a shot....

The guy stutters using his lips, that's typical bad acting of stuttering. When we stutter we use the larynx, stomach, and anus (Valsalva hypothesis). The same way you block your whole body when you tr...

I did before, she recommended I record what physically happens when I block. She hadn't heard of valsalva when I mentioned it. She gave me a list of different sounds I could practice but I don't think...

I have tried valsalva and it didn't help very much. I have gone through each of his steps but I'm still around the same level of fluency as before. I have become self aware when I block and there isn'...

well thoughts and feelings are two different things. I am a rather severe stutterer so ive always acklowedged and accepted that I stutterered so there was no "fear" of whether i would block or not. I ...

I see how this makes sense, but it's not related to blocks, for me, and it's not a behavior I developed in regards to stuttering, at least not consciously. It just happens for as long as I can remembe...

You swallow? PM me. All kidding aside, maybe it's a secondary behavior you developed to counter your throat tensing up during speech? You know, like a block. Sometimes PWS will swallow, yawn, or cough...

my disfluency also takes the form of a silent block... i also range from bad days to near perfect spontaneous fluency. ...

Congratulations on not fearing blocks and for putting yourself into communication interactions that might make you uncomfortable. Neither of those are small things. You should be proud. Can I ask som...

Thanks for the reply, It's refreshing to hear from people with the same experience. You worded the sinking feeling perfectly "reality collapses around you" like nothing else besides trying to get tha...

yeah especially with silent blocks, past speech problems get mentally reinforced. i had trouble saying the word relationship for a while but i got over it eventually. your doctor is treating stutterin...

You're right, I've had some bad experiences with asking questions, and now they can be a huge source of anxiety which triggers a stutter or a block. I think my GP would have to refer me to a psychiatr...

i think i have pretty similar stuttering problems to you. im also covert and my silent blocks can go from non existent to invasive. you have problems with those specific words because they are used to...

stutter has gotten so bad that I passed myself out while stuck

stutter has gotten so bad that I passed myself out while stuck So, things have gotten pretty crazy with my stuttering problem. I have begun taking in and not expelling air while I am stuck. It is like...

I find i stutter and block a lot, If I have to stop/think about what I want to say or the flow of speech stops. And if there's nerves about, worse it is. But times when I'm doing things i enjoy, out ...

For me, These options to deal with blocks aren't that appealing. Substituing words will build up fear. And pushing through a block comes with a lot of struggle. Have you made an effort to learn pullo...
