I’d say it’s PARTLY a breath issue. A block in speech is always connected with the stop of airflow. Your diaphragm and or your vocal cords cramp up. It seems like breathing exercises and thus better c...

Yess. He talks about that method a lot. Also a great asset to have to calm yourself down whenever needed!...

It's interesting to hear that you've noticed a correlation between your breathing exercises and improved fluency in speech. The diaphragm plays a critical role in breathing and speech, as you mentione...

This is something I know, but never put into practice. I need to work on it. What has helped me is something else I learned from watching him - the double inhale. Take a big breath in, and then brea...

The Importance of Breathing

The Importance of Breathing Hey guys, newcomer here. That’s my first post, so I don’t know whether this has been talked about before. I recently came across an [episode](https://open.spotify.com/epis...

Smuggled turtles, There is an interesting video on YouTube about a program in the UK as part of the NHS. I don't know about Canada’s health plans, but just check this encouraging video about severe s...

I'm so sorry. Do you think it has anything to do with your breathing? Did any circumstances change in your life that might have caused trauma? I overcame my lifelong stuttering at 70. I really believe...

Taking deep breaths will make your stutter WORSE. Try reading my comment again! are you unable to say certain words sometimes (names, places, your food order, favorite fan/sports team etc) , and you...

I do believe breathing is an issue we all have and we need to control it. I know that's something in my case at least but I also do believe it's very psychological. There are times when I stutter and ...

Sorry, I didn't clarify that. I meant to have a good inhale but speak on the exhale and your stomach will naturally deflate as it pushes the air out. I saw someone say to "think of it as a balloon" an...

Thank you for the story. And for me, breathing is really key when speaking. As we speak, we exhale really slowly. So if you incorporate different techniques to speak, mixed with breathing, it will hel...

I went to a counselor/therapist while I was in university. I realized a lot of my stuttering issues (really bad days) stemmed from a lot of mental health issues I was dealing with. When you start to u...

I went to a therapist and received more effective tools in 2 sessions than I did in 10 years of speech therapy. To give you an example, when approaching a situation where I am nervous I may stutter,...
