There was a suttertalk B Team episode on this: http://stuttertalk.com/hitting-thresholds-for-making-changes-in-stuttering-ep-455/ I do 3 assignments every day, working on a specific junk behavior I t...

I spend 45-60 minutes a day reading out loud and practicing breathing. I don't find it to be helping when I talk to people in the real world though. I'm going to have to do something else because it ...

How much time are YOU committing everyday on your speech?

How much time are YOU committing everyday on your speech? I stutter too, but all I see on the internet are people complaining and giving sob stories on how difficult stuttering is and asking for quick...

What I do is take a breath through my mouth and then exhale a little and start saying the word. If the word happens to be plosive(like B, P, G etc.) I add in a little H right before saying the actual ...

Pretty common. Likely because you dont want to stutter and the pressure/risk is greatest at the start of speaking. There are some "fluency techniques" you can like easing into the first word like Stav...

I used to start most responses with a similar phrase that I knew I could get out fluently. Once you can do that use the inertia of that to finish the sentence. ...

Definitely common for me, I haven't figured out a solid solution other than trying to ease into the first sound/word and hope for the best. It's hit or miss...

Thank you.. I've got another one coming up. What helps me is reading and I extend the vowels in my first few words like "Heeeeellloo, hooow are yoou?" It might seem strange but you'd be surprised how ...

Thank you for the reply. I'm with you in that I'd rather have an open stutter than the sentence blocks, it seems easier to manage and explain than random pauses. My mother is actually a speech therapi...

I collect words or short phrases that are least likely to trigger stuttering and lean on them to get me started. "So" is a good one to drop in front of question words: "So, how.." or "So, why...". The...

*At least* one hour? And here I'm all proud of doing 10-20 minutes a day by reading news articles, damn. Guess I gotta pickup some books....

So it's interesting you bring this up. Your perspective is similar to a method of stuttering intervention that doesn't get talked about very much. Dean Williams' Normal Talking Model suggested that st...

I think this may help some of you...

I think this may help some of you... I stutter. It's not too bad, there are days when I speak fluently and then the next is a total shipwreck. I find that in situations where the spotlight is on me an...

Didn't the lad from Educating Yorkshire have a similar technique before he had therapy? Great if you've found something that works for you OP :)...

Yep he also focuses on relaxing the valsalva mechanism (abdomen and butt) when speaking. He says when we use effort to say a word it causes our larynx to close up and then we get a block. I had 10 ses...

There was this thread on it: http://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/2wcwo7/stutterblocks_pdf/ I know a guy who is working with Bill and he says it's helping him. I think they focus a lot of vowel c...

Has anybody had any luck with Valsalva therapy?

Has anybody had any luck with Valsalva therapy? I've been watching a couple of William Parry videos and learning about the Valsalva Hypothesis. Has anybody heard of this and successfully used the Vals...

Thanks for taking the time, buddy. That's some nice tips you're giving :) I could really benefit from the telephone exercise. Like, a lot. Think I will try it out. ...

Try using headphones and keeping the phone away from your face. It helps make it feel less formal like you're just talking to yourself....

Started this book last week and just by gradually accepting my stutter and talking slower, I already can feel some progress. My biggest fear, as the same of others, is the telephone. If my life depend...
