Takes 4-6 weeks to build up in your system and I will say, those weeks were brutal with anxiety. Citalopram has worked great for me. Again it’s not going to be a cure all and be all. I still stutter h...

Still a teenager in school. What I do is just go by a nickname that’s derived from my actual name. Example: If your name is Alexander and you struggle with it, then I would go by Alex....

In those situations, I try to go first or as close to as possible. If I stutter there’s enough time for everyone to forget, and I don’t have the anticipatory anxiety while I wait for my turn....

Hi! Yeah, stuttering is a bitch and a half. Congrats on improving to the point where people don't know you had a speech impediment! So, if you say your name alone, do you stutter? Or just when you're ...

I had the same problem when I was younger. My name starts with a hard ‘C’, so I’d use my middle name, Susanne, instead. As I got older, my name became easier and I learned to preface my name with “he...

For me, I never stutter when I tell people I stutter. I often stutter on my name. If I stutter a bunch on my intro I say “as you can see, I have a stutter.” I find it works for me at least....

Hey, I struggled a hell of a lot with this too. It might sound silly but what helped me was doing it in a sing song voice. Not like singing your name to someone lol but a lot of stutteres can sing per...

Hi, I know how difficult this seemingly simple task of saying your name can be, but you just need to stay calm. No one remembers the first introduction with anyone. For example, I meet new people ever...

I have the same thing, I have found practicing and recording yourself in front of a mirror helps. If you get really stuck and panicky when it happens I just cough and then say my name. Don't know why...

What if I get stuck in a introduction and can't get past my stutter?...

I agree with everything you've mentioned. You described the experience of losing fluency as soul-crushing.. from my personal perspective, effective therapy should include a solid relapse prevention pr...

I believe that the concept of an inhibitory or threshold mechanism in stuttering dates back to the early studies. This idea can be viewed through the lens of Sheehan’s “approach-avoidance conflict” th...
