Stuttering Suggestion

[Torpede]

Hey.

I stutter, but, I want to try an experiment and wonder if any of you have already tried it as well. Stuttering, to me, is what I do when I try not to stutter. I worry about stuttering so much that I eventually DO stutter. But, what if you torture yourself, and do what you couldn't do, and speak? What if you absolutely raise your hand when a question is asked during class, if you know the answer, and answer it, even against your own emotions telling you, "don't do it, this will be painful!". Basically, NOT avoiding a chance to speak, is where I'm getting at, here.

I'm going to try this. I've been stuttering for about 13 years, now, and I've never once did this.

Has anyone ever tried NOT avoiding a chance to speak? Can you give me your experience with it?

I agree with you ccompletely. So much of our stuttering is what we are doing to NOT stutter. We add secondary baehaviors, we avoid, anything to hide the repititons and blocks. In the end, we just create a more severe/complicated stutter. The core of this speech is fear. It is so ingrained and natural to most of us that we dont know any other way of living. AND we dont know how to break the cycle.-- What you are talking about is the only way to get out of the mess of fear. Exposing ourselves to it. Showing what we have tried so desparatley to hide. Saying EXACTLY what you want, with no tricks or substituions.--the truth is if you do this, you may have more stuttering than you think. The really cool part is that once you consistantly do this, your fear fades a bit and stuttering can lessen. But plese dont think that losing the fear means losing the stuttering. You stutter and thats that, but your experience can be changed by doing this. You can become DESENITIZED to speaking.

I went through a program that pushed me out of my comfort zone and had me stutter openly to complete strangers. It was the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done. Until the emotional side of stuttering is addressed, I dont think anything can work, but that is just my opinion.--So, did doing this help my stuttering, Yes.- Did it make me fluent because some of the fear had been chipped away, no.- Was I able to mange my stuttering more effectivly because I wasnt scared half to death, yes.- Was I able to live more in the moment because I wasnt obsessing about what had just happened or what was about to happen, Yes.--- There is no easy way out of this fear--- How does a person conquer a fear??? They have to be exposed to it. Sometimes over and over.- When I feel fear creeping in, know what I do??? I stutter my butt of in front of someone. I have to keep myself in check! ;) --- Go give it a try! I commend you. Like you said, go against the feeling in the moment and do it. Do it over and over. Let the stuttering out.-- Go get it!!!!! love, amey

SOrry i am not english man therefore my english is very poor.

i tried some things, not a lot, just some wich maybe can develope my speak (sometimes i am sluttering).

The first which very good for me , and i would like suggest similar people like me that the "Bach essential"- s and the kinezilology. You have to go to an therapeuta of kineziology and he "dissolve your blocks" in your brain and + he choice a proper Bach essential to you.

I done this , and the effect was unbelivable, seriously..unbelivable....You will be other person (if the block dissolving is good and he choice proper bach essential)...i had not got any problem with my speak 2 month (every essential take effect about two months beacase under two month it break down the the topical Blocks which has been "mannaged" with essential..but we have got lots of block in our body, brain and we have to return to the therapeuta in order to choice other essential to the next 2-3 months.

And lots of people say here and anywhere on the forums "we were born a stammer person" and we have to accept it...

NO, we have not to accept it, we have to fight against it until end of our life!!!!!!!!!!!Because it is very cruel thing, and we will never give up...
we can not give up, beacuse the life in this way can not enjoyable... Never accept , as is think.


good luck everybody
