Shameless obvious advertising aside, "I know from experience, dude" and I know like 30 other people for whom fluency shaping doesn't work. In fact, I think i've only met one or two stutterers who have...

My (continuing) adventure to fluency [HCRI]

My (continuing) adventure to fluency [HCRI] TL;DR - A scientifically proven speech therapy that helped me achieve my fluency. If you are tired and frustrated of your speech disfluency, it is time to o...

> speaking softly and just consciously using whats called "gentle starts" on your words can really help to lessen stuttering< Great tip! I have the exact same feelings as OP. I've got the feeli...

This is a very good technique. If you've written your entire presentation out, you also might want to smush the words before "religion" so "a religion comes out as " areligion" or "the religion" comes...

Something that sometimes works for me: When speaking, take a pause before the word you know you'll stutter on...in this case, "religion". After the pause, take a deep breath, and then say the word but...

Yeah that's true, I worked as waiter in a restaurant even though I know Ill stutter for every call I answer. It helped me to let go of fear of speaking and develop socializing skills. During that peri...

We're here for you, and I can definitely understand and empathize with where you're at. I had many periods of unemployment in my 20's where it was really daunting to look for a job. I found I stuttere...

I do the same thing. I started doing it with a slightly exaggerated H sound — coming out something like HHHi-lean — because that's much easier. ...

Yeah it works, just say the word softly and nobody will even notice if you say "ifty" instead of "fifty". And over time, it might be easier to say "fifty" because you've begun speaking a bit more soft...

Yes, singing can work really well. Staying upbeat, using lots of affirmations and positive self-talk. (" I speak well and I get my point across just fine. I am great at what I do. I'm feeling really g...

try speech therapy. now. simple as that. might wanna try several therapists, they're not all the same. be aware: >to be able to talk like I can when I'm on my own this is not what you're going f...

Thank you for taking the time to write that. I actually have joined a group that meets weekly to practice for about a month now. Its been good, it helped me do a presentation at school. I'm actuall...

well, it's something you train. i think part of it is identifying what you often block/repeat on, and how you should go about doing controlled versions of it. but you should consult a speech therapis...

I went to see "experts" on two separate occassions. I quoted that because one of them was this weird spiritual woman who based her therapy on some kinda book that I highly doubt had any scientific bac...

Very awkward and if you asked me a few years ago to do this would defiantly not be up for it but i'm 27 and enough is enough. If I can't fix the block I CAN fix my posture/eye contact, etc. I have c...

Deliberately stuttering

Deliberately stuttering Has anyone just said F it and spoke freely so that they did deliberately stuttered? I tried this today and.....I spoke fluently. On the phone and at the bank. I stumbled wit...

Speaking fluently at medical school interviews. Weird situation!

Speaking fluently at medical school interviews. Weird situation! A little about me. I'm in my late 20s. I have always had a stutter as a child. It went away in high school when I had lots of friends a...

This pretty much sums up what has improved my speech drastically. I strongly, strongly, strongly believe that slowing down when pronouncing words has helped. I always feel like my brain is trying to s...

I find it really funny how everyone knows these tips you wrote, but hardly anyone use them. Yeah it is fucking embarassing to talk really slow, but think about it, what's better? Stuttering or talking...

Thanks for taking the time to contribute and write such a nice post. What you're talking about sounds pretty similar to fluency shaping, where you retrain the way you speak to speak more "correctly". ...
