So your post is interesting -- Dean Williams, one of the early speech pathologists interested in stuttering, said that stuttering is what you do when you are interfering with your normal speech. This...

I've tried to practice before going into an interview but it doesn't matter how much I practice, I freeze up once I try to speak. ...

Lol. I just did a presentation at school today so this totally resonates with me. I ended up doing fine too but I'd been anxious about it for literally over a month. Damn I feel so relieved right now....

Same here. I got nervous for a high school speech the year before. I worried all year a few times a week. It was so sad, I know....

Every time I have to do a presentation or make a speech in school, I get nervous several days beforehand. 100% of the time. And I ALWAYS end up doing fine. But that nervousness never goes away. So y...

Absolutely, people can't see the physchological part of stuttering, which (in my case atleast) is a much larger part of stuttering....

hahah i'm the same way; grammatical errors, even people talking, I'll correct them. I find I am very technical and deliberate in my word choice. This is definitely linked to my stuttering ...

I definitely do this, the proper term is circumlocution and as for OP; I have yet to find a sution to being put on the spot. For some reason it's like a mental road block that literally becomes a bloc...

Not like this always works for me, this is an unorthodox method to stay relaxed and I probably require some professional help for thinking this, but meh. I remember William Wallace's quote in Bravehe...

Does anyone know some effective relaxation tehniques??? (I need to presentate by tomorrow!)

Does anyone know some effective relaxation tehniques??? (I need to presentate by tomorrow!) So I have a pretty bad stammer, especially when I need to presentate something. Tomorrow I will have an exam...

I will try my best to give you an idea about how fluent people think before they speak. Do you know how when you're reading something(like this text) you automatically understand it? Like you don't ha...

This provokes the thought, do you believe that we're too critical of ourselves when we speak? When we don't hear ourselves, we can't pick out our speech flaws, but when we can hear ourselves we're too...

Could be because you're thinking about it too much. I know that right now, if I was to magically learn the basics of Arabic and go to the an Arabian country and speak it to someone, I'd have no hesita...

New here and this is my first post so here it goes... Confidence definitely has something to do with my stutter. I stutter more when I think about stuttering. When I stutter on a word it gets added...

But I usually get too nervous or excited and then I lose my breath or breathe too much. I have in the past when I was a bit younger, presented speeches and not stuttered but now that I'm older I think...

I need some advice and techniques.

I need some advice and techniques. Hello. My name is Aidan and I am 16 years old. I have had a stutter since I was young and it was bad when I was young and then didn't come up until I was about 12-13...

I don't know what it is about me but when people call attention to my stutter, I don't stammer as much. I don't understand. I think that most people that I talk to throughout the day think I have a ...

This one has more merit to it, but I still don't think it "causes" blocks. Rather, "divided intentions" can exacerbate a block. In order to have the divided intentions you must first learn that stut...

I found it unsatisfactory. He is correct to discount the use of an unknown to explain another unknown. However, he then precedes to do exactly that not once but twice. Nether divided psychological in...

21/m here stutterer for 12 years. I never really went to a speech therapist, just that one time when I was 13/14. My parents where concerned that sometimes I had blocks and stumbled upon my words. Ba...
