I would like to, but I cannot. The way I stutter is almost seizure like. My head tilts back and I am almost looking up at the ceiling, sometimes my eyes even roll back in my head. ...

About talking on the phone

About talking on the phone My legs are all twitchy from the nervousness of my last phone call. Does anybody feel the same way? Speaking on the phone is such a challenge, I hate that there is complete...

As a stutter this really doesn't sound like stuttering. Stuttering is more an issue of blocks where you cannot say a certain vowel sound or word. But for me I always know exactly what i want to say bu...

I need help figuring out what is happening to my speech.

I need help figuring out what is happening to my speech. I started noticing I developed a pause in my speech about less than 2 years ago. I can be talking to someone. I will have a train of thought as...

I have a combination of silent blocks and repetitive sounds. I definitely can tell a difference if I am around friends or strangers. I stutter both times, but it is worse around strangers. I work as a...

I use a lot of speech therapy techniques, such as continuous phonation (continuing the sound/breath) and cancellations (stopping in the middle of a block, starting over with easy onset)....

I use a variety of fluency shaping and stuttering modification strategies. I primarily use continuous phonation, easy onset and at times slow my rate of speech so I can control and utilize my techniq...

im a blocker... slowing down helps a ton. the biggest thing, which may seem out of your control at times, is limiting your stress level. learn to not give a fuck about your environment and your speech...

I wonder about your ability to monitor the frequency of *not* doing something (i.e., not stuttering) by the frequency of *not* remembering something (i.e., forgetting). (my point is, how do you measur...

im the same way... i dont have repititions and often forget i stutter but my silent blocks often occupy my mind too...

Thanks for your response! What technique are you referring to? It seems that the site is actually in agreement with what you said. My understanding is that tense vocal folds (as well as other muscle...

You're right. I definitely should've visited a doctor as soon as it started happening. But I didn't know back then that it would turn out to be this big. It was mostly "ummms.." and "ahhhs..." and so...

So you're probably stuttering because you cant change the word which sends you into a panic overload and you block hard. I hope is that you can learn to speak comfortably, stutter or no stutter. But a...

As you presumably know, it is easy to tell sometimes when a block is coming in. If I can't get past it, I have a few techniques: - 'So I was walking to the ______ umm, yeah the __shops the other day....

Ah okay. When you can tell that a blocked word is coming up, do you have anything you do to minimise the block? (*If that makes sense haha*)...

Yep, force myself. No matter how awkward or hard it is. Btw, I block and stutter, probably a 80%/20% split. If you feel like complete silence is too awkward (20s is nothing, people can tell when you'...

As in, you force yourself to say the word? Thing is, I don't stutter when I try & say it, I just have a ~20 second block when I'm trying to get it out...

Keep trying until you get it. I started this recently, instead of substituting words. At first, it was awkward and prolonged. D...d....dddddooo...dd...dog. But, with time, it has gotten easier. The ...

Some people really do take over a minute just to get out a single sound. I have problems with this too....

its not so easy when it takes 5+ minutes to even tell someone I have a stuttering problem...
