One thing I’ve found to help for important conversations that I know are coming up is: 1) practice what I’m going to say and intentionally stutter. As in, I w-w-want to meet with you b-b-b-because… et...

Do it! I still stutter but I fully credit the hobby with getting me out of my shell and comfortable with my own voice. Now I'm getting up in front of total strangers and talking for HOURS....

First, you're not alone. I am in my 40s now, but I was a very severe stutterer and I related to every single thing you said. I won't sugar coat things, I was a hot mess, especially in the first half...

Since I can remember so maybe at 4 years of age. Got over it at like 20. I basically just exposed myself to my worst fears like public speaking, debates, even arguments. I think as someone who stutter...

I was into it when I was younger and very open minded until they wanted me to go on a bus and say i was a stutterer to build my confidence or something.  Never came back.  They can go ahead and do tha...

Basically my line of argumentation is that if there is no anatomical disruption in the musculature or nerve endings in the jaw. Thus, stuttering is nothing but a maladaption or a subconscious behavior...

As someone who has gotten over his stutter I want to start a free stutter group where people can get reps and we can possibly gather information and possibly post data and testimonials for people on the group.

So you are saying by deliberately doing/practicing stutters like reptitions can actually help to reduce stutter ?...

Yes, but talking by yourself and seeing yourself be more fluent alone reduces anticipation on some of the feared words. This is what makes stuttering worse - anticipation. I think that by seeing how m...

Abit late to the party but I'd like to say what happend to me My grumps/grandad was a dick and liked to take the pics out of people that stutter and me being a kid copied him for a long time and as I...

The worst thing is not even stuttering, even though i stutter and overcame things such as presentations, or introductions, the fear, shame and anxiety is still there, even though i overcame the situat...

If I had to do it, I would try just starting a small talk conversation just to break that initial barrier e.g. ask her if she's still using blah blah equipment, or at the bubbler where you have water....

I've always wanted to do those "comfort zone challenges" but I never really knew how to start. Do you think those challenges helped you with your stutter? And what are the challenges that you recomme...

I took Chase Gillis' program a few years ago. He had his clients do "comfort zone challenges" - one of the challenges he assigned to us was to approach a certain number of strangers and tell them, "He...

I did not mean the child was forced to talk. When I was talking about forcing someone afraid of bugs or germs to touch, I was using an example to show how futile it is to overcome the fear by forcing....

It's curious that exposure therapy worked for you, because it doesn't work for me. No matter how much I put myself out there, it's always the same. At the end, I'm always utterly exhausted, and in the...

Thanks for answering and advice! You are absolutely right about practising in real situations, need to push myself and use supplements for courage....

The effect can varies among ppl imo, ash took a week for me to manifest the effect, 3 days for L-theanine. You can consider combining them with other supplement too for more result. I usually took 3 w...

Practice practice practice.. maybe pause like a few second when you feel a stutter is coming. Make it look like intentional ...

Gave myself time.  Let the new neural pathways develop and strengthen over time.  I went through the blocks, it felt impossible at first all over again.  Kept at it.  Ultimately, stuttered freely thro...
