There is a Marcus Aurelius quote that stopped me in my tracks. “Jettison the judgement, and you are saved”. It’s for me in adulthood my internal judgement. Hard pattern to break, agree with the ...

Anxiety reduction and staying positive is just part of my everyday life. Anxiety/depression and the stutter are symbiotic for me. One side causes the other but also reducing one side reduces the other...

Is this the optimal way to deal with a block? When you hold your breath you're reinforcing to your brain that this is the way to deal with blocks. The moment you get into a block isn't it better to ...

Hey just a piece of advice... maybe next time when you are feeling muted or afraid of speaking (because of stuttering or whatever) try to be **mute on purpose**. It will wear off the anxiety. When you...

It’s the exact opposite for me. I need to avoid breathing into my rib cage and use diaphragmatic breathing instead. When I breathe shallowly and rapidly, it goes into my upper chest and ribcage. I’...

I was breathing the way you are telling to do when I was far less fluent. Breathing through tummy actually helped me be more calmer and slow down my speech. I don't think I will go back. I am more f...

So how does breathing in the diaphragm instead of into your gut help you, if you wouldn’t mind, walk me through the processes and at what point in the steps it seems to help....

I was doing what you are telling, but actually diaphragm breathing has helped me gain some fluency. Breathing with chest makes my muscles more tense and makes me feel out of breath, which increased my...

Basically the complete opposite of diaphragm breathing. Interesting, because diaphragm breathing is usually advised to people who stutter. Does not help everyone though....

What worked for me

What worked for me Hi, I managed to overcome my stuttering by breathing into my chest/ribcage rather than into my gut. What I mean is people who stutter do so because of shallow breathing and they br...

I more focus on making all of my syllables in my words even in duration, it helps me a lot. I went to an institute for stuttering people and the two most useful things I learned for myself at least is...

Remember stuttering at age 5. Speech therapy my through my life. Nothing worked. Lived at the fork: choose being true to myself or avoiding shame. At age 23 - I was ready to go all in and face whateve...

I’m the same way less stressed when talk to myself. So how can we be this way all the time?...

Heyy ❤️❤️ how old are you btw? I’m 24f and I just want to let you know I’m dealing with the same exact thing as well. With me though is that I had a stutter when I was little and had speech therapy in...

Thank you. The problem is that when I get into the moment, my mind starts racing, and then it is difficult to remember to breathe correctly. I need to work on internalizing some sort of cue to init...

Stuttering is basically caused by the brain's inability to process the speaker's voice as s/he speaks. To minimize stuttering do not let the brain process the speaker's regular voice. Process anothe...

I rarely repeat syllables/words/sounds. My major problem is blocking. I just can't move, my voice box can't make a sound. Inside my body I've been trying to take note recently of what exactly is go...

I can relate to what you going through. I also suffer from slightly stuttering and will be attending in-person college classes. What I would suggest is to try taking deep breaths, and speaking at a mo...
