I have a friend from uni who has a severe stutter but I don't mind it. I listen to him and I'm patient with him because he's a cool guy with a great personality and just because he has a stutter doesn't make him any different from anyone else. I accept him for who he is as a person and a good friend
Hope everyone is like you! Hayley Amanda. :)
@Esther Amelia what is his RUclips channel name
Stuttering is not something you have to recover from it is something you have to accept and learn to love because it is a part of you. Anxiety doesn't cause stuttering, stuttering causes anxiety. Relaxing does not help. Speech therapists usually do not have much knowledge of stuttering and do more damage than good. I spend years with different kinds of therapy only to find out it drove me into nothing but a pit of self hatred. The first time someone told me it's okay to stutter I felt free and now I stutter when I talk and it doesn't stop me from talking. This is so problematic. I wouldn't want to stop stuttering even if I could because there are much more important things to worry about.
+Lydia Guevara Why do you think, that relaxing does not helping? That is universal " doctor" for many problems, not just stuttering. It is a "strong helper" although not a major. You must learn tramsform your speaking SLOW and RELEASED. I know that is very difficult because your (and mine, i am stutter too) brains auction difficult speaking, but you can make your own way of speaking.
+ahmed kabbary JUST DO what your parents tell you to do there always right man
ahmed kabbary dude do some thing called costal breathing it helped my stutter
its the main thing that the mcgurie program teaches too (search it up)
+Lydia Guevara AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!! I think the role of a therapist is to help the person accept their stuttering and deal with the discrimination they encounter. They are not trained in fluency techniques because that is the role of the speech therapist (now is fluency the way to go for a stutter, is a whole other issue).
+Aljaž Savič is not about relaxing. is a problem that the brain has sending signals to speak.
I don't stutter at all when I am alone. I stutter 5-10% around family/friends but then this shoots up to like 40% at work/on the phone. I don't get stuck on works like, "m..m..morning" but instead I just won't be able to talk for a moment (I get blocked and it's like my voice has to reset itself and if this happens whilst I am talking to someone I end up having to look away which I feel is so awkward). I really wish that I didn't stutter! :( I find words starting with "m" and the number 3 so difficult to say. However sometimes I am really fluent and when that happens I feel so happy and normal. I really wish that I didnt have to deal with this :(
That's exactly me I don't stutter when I'm alone or talking to my best friend I've been with since elementary school but I even stutter when I talk to my family and worst phones I ignore all phone calls bc in afraid I'll just stutter and if I do answer I'll act like my phone is breaking up
i feel you when i am alone i don't stutter much i even sing when alone but when it is with others i stutter around 90% of the conversation wort thing is that they only understand my first word since the stuttering begin at the middle of my speech i browse almost every video and exercise in the internet and guess what........ still the same ahahaha i have a difficulty with 2 letters only r and s my worst nightmare i also need to repeat the word like th-th-the but nevertheless the support of friends and family helps me overcome day to day problems i learn to lessen my stuttering by looking at the eye the one you're talking to and by breathing as well so that you won't run out of air when talking i hope this helps you in some ways :)
I get it. For me, I'm having trouble with the word Detergent for some reason. I don't stutter with every word but certain words also come out stammered.
SAME
Danny SAME. When i try and read infront of my class the words just don’t come to my mouth. It’s like i physically can’t talk.
Thank you so much, Im in school for nursing and Ive struggled with stuttering my whole life. Sometimes I feel like giving up, this video gave me hope.
I feel the same. Right now I am taking a class to become a CNA but my stutter is really holding me back and making me want to quit.
I used to stutter when I was at my worst with my anxiety. Especially speaking in class
+JordanJFan You got past it? how do u think u did?
A much needed topic Kati, thanks. I am a 51 yr old (recovered stutterer) who thought was going to stutter for the rest of my life. Most people never know the terror, shame, nervousness and sick-to-your-stomach normal every day situations cause a stutterer and like you state we have so much to offer and are intelligent people. We often live a very solitary and secluded life and deeply long for friendships and dating but are too afraid to because of anxiety and stuttering. I am a life-long Social Anxiety Disorder sufferer and as soon as I got help and was prescribed an anti-depressant med my stuttering almost immediately stopped and needless to say I quickly took advantage of this time by going out and becoming gradually more sociable. I highly recommend getting help and an anti-depressant Rx... never in my life did I ever think I would be stutter/anxiety free.
I think I'll try that out,do you still use the meds
even the word "stuttering" got me stuttered asf. ughhh
Same and ing word's get me soooooooo bad
it's horrible
I stutter too, everytime I'm talking about stuttering I start stuttering 😂
For me every word with letter E makes stutter 😢
My stutter was really bad when I was younger . I’m now 26 and my stutter has gotten a lot better but I do stutter the most when I have to make a call or someone calls me . I hate talking on the phone 😩 I just get stuck as if the words don’t want to come out and it gets really frustrating. Especially if I think about stuttering I stutter more lol.
Do pranayama , and ayurveda will also help.
Aniruddh Singh what in Ayurveda?
I feel you
@@zaid6142 this is the worst feeling 😭😭
People ask me why I'm so quiet
Me: Because I st-st-stu-stutte-stutter
But in all seriousness I really do stutter
XPhantoms Hell yeah dude tell me about it :(
Same
Colonel Bishop i feel you. it sucks
People always think I'm very shy but I'm not I just " stutter " it really suck 😩
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "how to not stutter when nervous" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Rincaas Stammify Blocker - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got great success with it.
I just discovered your channel via Hannah Hart. This is the first video of yours that I am watching. I have had a neurological stutter since I was a young child. I also battle depression, and a severe GAD(which I believe was brought on by my stutter, as well as some trauma I experienced as a child) Thank you for talking about these issues. There are people out there who need to know that they are not alone in their struggles.
I used to struggle with stuttering until I read Lee Lovetts’ How to Stop Stuttering & Love Speaking and joining his WSSA program. His methods will work if you diligently immerse yourself in them every single day. All the best to my fellow PWS.
i jsut found out Lee Lovett is a trans man?
I like how she says "we". Ex: "Why do WE have it?"
I am still a stutterer, but hypnosis helped me a lot. I learned to take my time in speaking. I use a lot of "ah", and other words that slow my stuttering down. Give it a try if you haven't tried it.
Rob B. Same dear haha
Hello please guide me how I can speak better give some ways
"This isn't any error in you" - like a hug. Thank you :) I'm pretty much fluent but as you say, one blip and its a tornado across my sentences. I usually pretend have lost track of what I was saying or I cough. Problem is saying people's names....you can't word swap..
I absolutely HATE saying my name or other peoples names. Those are the worst.
I'm someone who had a speech disorder as a young child. I would never be able to pronounce certain words, and letters. With that, I developed stuttering. As someone who speaks both English and French, I started stuttering a lot of words in french, and was unable to pronounce them. Something that I do if reading out loud. At the beginning, I hated it because I would always make a foul of myself, but with time I got better. Im able to pronounce some words again. Practice does help. My hope goes out to anyone working on their stuttering. It gets better.
Damn it I only have one life to live and I'm suffering with this stuttering crap. God help us all..
Great video Kati!!!! This is going to be helpful for so many people!!!!
Thank you. This brought tears to my eyes. Your insight is wonderful! God Bless!
I'm 36 and I have been stuttering since I was about 7 years old. My tips are endless. One of them, which helps me a lot, is pushing the focus on something else while speaking. So for example, while ordering in a restaurant, point at the line or picture of the dish you want to the waiter. Or make hand gestures so the person you are talking to gets detracted by your hands and isn't so clearly focused on your stutter. (that last one is mostly in your own head. Most people are very patient and won't care so much.)
My second tip is for dealing with your own embarrasment. I have a very outgoing personality, well sometimes I do, and it definitely helps me change the way I want people to see me. For example, after a very stressful situation in a group, like go around introductions (dreadful) in which I stutter the most and I will feel very embarrassed about, I'm often very scared of leaving a negative opinion about me, like dumb or slow or whatever. After that, I make a joke or answer or ask a question. I'll show them I AM capable of doing (what has to be done) and being (responsible or whatever).
I hope that'll helps someone. Remember, your only job is just being you. Other people's opinions don't matter that much in the big plan.
I have stuttered my entire life. I always hear the phase, "You'll grow out of it." I'm 25 years old and I still do it daily. I spent years in speech therapy from elementary, middle and high school with little to no results. However, I have been able to overcome this is a lot of ways by avoiding words/phases. When it comes to public speaking, I need weeks to prepare. I've noticed the more I rehearse, I stutter less. Now, I work in a fast pace, media job so my stuttering increases in high stress situations.
+bbcott Read the book called redefining stuttering by john c harrison it can be a thing one can overcome
I have a stutter that started/ I noticed at 18ish, mostly if I'm tense/nervous or in noisy environments. A friend of mine got the best reaction. He grabs my shoulders and tells me to calm down. It gives me time to stop, calm down and start over and he won't interrupt until I'm done.
Happy mental wellness month!
Best advice I can give as a stutterer is to re-learn how to speak. Not every "tip and trick" works for everyone. We all have individual struggles and getting "help" from people who don't stutter doesn't help me and a lot of others. Something that's really helped me in my adult years is talking in "radio voice". Really enunciate your words and open your mouth. I struggle with words that start with D's and T's, so I pronounce them as if they were Z's. Change where your tongue lies when saying words. Kind of slide the words out rather than push them out. Slow down and deep breaths. Reading a book or practicing in a mirror doesn't do much for me. Teach yourself new ways to say words and how to pronounce them a little different. That's my best advice.
My 9 year old has a severe stutter. He is also brilliant. (I'm not biased, he really is advanced for his age. My 3 year old is not. He's developmentally delayed.) He has soooo much anxiety anyway and his stutter just exacerbates it. He has been in ST since he was 3 and so much of this information is so helpful and we already utilize it. I love how you approach the subject and how accepting your demeanor is. That in itself is extremely helpful and I'm going to show him this when I pick him up from school. Thank you!
I think i am not shy too.Just afraid to speak.
Too much miserable memories.
It did take damage to your personality and cognition ability if others keeping laughing at you and nobody understands you.
I just want to give a hug to whoever have the problem.
Hope you get out of this suck thing sooner.
my stuttering is on and off, I can go from smooth speech to moderate stutter sometimes just choke on a word look like a idiot.
i stutter randomly, never on specific words just sometimes on one word when I speak. If I need to speak fast i mess/jumble up my words and stutter and feel so embarrassed
My Dyslexia or tick's raise when I get into a game, or just comes when a big change in my life
I stuttered pretty bad when I was younger. Lucky for me my dad was very patient with me and he tried to make reading/speaking fun for me. I grew out of it but I still slip up every now when I'm worked up or I'm feel rushed.
I've stuttered for more than 20 years and it's getting better now. There's a book called the valsalva hypothesis that teaches you a breathing technique along with learning to phonate all the vowel sounds. I always struggled with b and d words growing up. I eventually give up trying to say them and would change the word completely. Now I know it's not the beginning letter of a word i struggle with but with the vowel sound that comes after. My problem vowel sound was the ehhh sound. it was a game changer for me. I now understand that stuttering is not fluency or articulation issue as most stutters can mouth words silently to themselves but a voice problem. Hope This makes sense.
I've I've stuttering since I was 6. Now I'm 22 and it's gotten progressively worse. I don't talk in public because of it. I talk in my house but silent in public
Ditto, and I’m older. Try practicing speaking fluidly in a super low stress setting, and hopefully that muscle memory will transfer to public settings allowing you to speak more fluidly. I had bouts ranging from bad to terrible (couldn’t say my own name) through college, but tried practicing in low stress (usually social, lol) situations, and it helped a lot. Not 100%, but definitely better. I can now go a few days without stuttering episodes.
you have given me the hope i needed to help my child who is in this situation. thank you am glade i clicked on this video.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! REALLY HELPFUL ! sometimes when I try to speak slow it kinda help not to stutter so much!
My brain is filled with ideas and things to say, but I get stuck with constant stuttering T¬T and I never had it when I was younger, I got it when I was about 10/11, I'm 13 now and it's hasn't gotten any better
The tension build up is what I need to work on reducing
I was actually rejected from a couple of sales/consulting related jobs for stuttering
I am a Speech Therapist and I take online therapy for stuttering
I am passionate about stuttering and have helped 100s of individual lead a happy, healthy and normal speech life.
Yoga REALLY helps, i have been doing yoga for like three months now, it really helped me stutter less, so does talking to yourself in front of a mirror.
Look to whoever is reading this, if you stutter, i know how you feel, but give it a try, just try to practice yoga every day for a month, just one month, and you will see RESULTS.
I know you don't know me, but please trust me, just try :)
Ok
+maren cherry what yoga pose or technique i should try ?
dimas as heey sorry for replying late, just saw it, like right now, any pose that relaxes you and calms you down, i do meditation now and i breath from my belly whenever i speak... just find out which technique works to keep you calm and relaxed, good luck :) love you
so how long should i do yoga for 1 hour or more?
Angelo Alangco I do it, for 30 min a day, when i wake up, I feel AWESOME, after it
Am 35, i began stuttering from childhood.its so painful that am not able to explain myself clearly because many people dont take me seriously even some loose interest in listening to me, I will forever be grateful to Doctor isibor God will continue to Bless you sir more knowledge. You can also stop stuttering
joseph willu marry me
Yes defo some very helpful tips....I struggle with my address, date of birth and the letters f and s. Talking out loud, or reading to myself is a great idea.... and it works ( even if I feel a bit nuts!! 😁!!) Thanks again Kati x
Mogsy T
Then I’ve got it much harder than you.
I cannot pronounce my vowels when they are at the start of a word. *a* *e* *i* *o* *u* *é*
Around February - June I couldn’t pronounce them.
June - July I could pronounce them really well.
And now in August they’re really hard for me again, and *st*
I'm a stuttered, well I'm much better now and I'm glad you talked about this
I have a stutter & I feel it’s gotten worse over the years cos when I was at school (in the 80’s) I use to work round it & find another word that’s the same meaning & say that instead if I could, I also use to try & avoid reading out loud in school as well & pretend I didn’t hear the teacher call my name to read, but it didn’t work..anyway since meeting my husband & having a family I feel it’s gotten worse, I also have anxiety which doesn’t help, I mainly struggle on S’s, depending what S word it is & also B’s & M’s to name a few, this video was good to watch & gave me insight in what I should try & do to help myself, I don’t know why my parents never did anything about my stammer when I was young 😔
Read my response to Ethan Bell’s comment about word substitution of umms and ahhs. I couldn’t figure out how to paste it. I’m also a child of the 80’s so I can relate to the lifetime effects of stuttering. Basically, try practicing speaking clearly about stupid topics (gossip, weather, sports) in a LOW STRESS environment; family/friends/pets. Don’t do mirrors, mirrors suck. This will, over months/years, progressively train your mouth muscles how to execute the sounds fluidly. Then, when you’re in a high-stress environment (work, public speaking) your muscles will remember the fluidity and you might speak clearer. This approach worked for me; I still have my bad days/weeks, but over time I have good days/weeks:even months. Best of luck. I’m rooting for you!
I was raised by a psychopath. I stutter under pressure or on the phone. Due the psycho not ever looking at me, I disgusted them. If I cant see their eyes......I get stressed. Because I don't want to disgust anyone.
That’s crazy how I understand that smh bullied by your own guardians
Thank you Kati for this, I appreciate it!
There's a really really good documentary on youtube i think it's called stop my stutter from BBC Three, and it follows like some of the UK's stutterers and they show some super good techniques and breathing exercises that help stop stuttering :D
I stutter too since 20 years and it mmakes me not nervous, it's a part of me
I wonder who use to stutter in my family, can't believe it genetic .
I stutter and now my 3yo daughter too stutters. It makes me feel so sad seeing her struggling. 😣
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "self therapy for the stutterer 11th edition" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Deyarper Especial Dominance - (do a google search ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to get rid of your stuttering once and for all without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got great results with it.
My mom has a mild stutter and my Dad's Brother has a Mild stutter as well. I caught it the worst but my other 4 siblings are ok
@kamenpower me to man it's pretty ruff because he stutters all the time so it effects me when i talk and see i have a stuttering problem and then i had to do speech in elementary school and also middle school.
@Plamen hi same here.
I have a really bad stutter and my parents don't believe it's serious but at night I pick a sentence and I try to say it over and over again but as I can't do it I pull out my hair I also have someone speak for me in class I have never ever recovered from it you can not recover from it.... it doesn't help when I also have ocd where I have to tap walks after I go past them and also with light switches after I pass them I have to turn it off and on over again and again and I since I have a p.o box I don't get mail thrue a mailbox but still every Sunday I have to go check my mailbox at least 10 times before I absolute know that there is no mail in there.
these things are hard to have and please does anybody else have these along with washing my hands till they bleed at least some body tell me I'm not alone.
i hope you feel better D-:
I don’t even think I necessarily “stutter.” My problem is whenever I talk to a friend, the hardest word to say is the first word. For example: “do” “will” “how” “can”- those words just don’t come out; it’s like my voice just vanished out of thin air and I can’t do anything about it. So most of the time I say “um” or “uh” to fix that, which is helps, but not all the time. This gets me pissed off all the time, I want to be able to have a conversation, say hi to a person, or even ask a question, but I can’t. I handle this better than most people, but I still feel sick to my stomach. I feel it’s the lack of confidence, but I’m not too sure. Whenever I present something in school the first word is the hardest, but after I overcome that first word it’s a breeze to me. If anyone has a fix to this please notify, thank you for listening
You’re doing word substitution by using easier to pronounce filler words either in anticipation of stuttering on the actual word, or as a last minute ditch on the actual word. I did this for many years. What worked for me actually came from my days in law enforcement: muscle memory (e.g. practice critical skills like reloading exhaustively so when you’re in a high-stress scenario like a shootout you’re not thinking ‘where’s my spare magazine?’, your muscles just know and you reload without thinking). Anyway, practice speaking words/sounds you frequently trip up on, but in a low-stress consequence-free environment; family, close friends, even to a pet. Practice a LOT in low stress, like months/years. Then over time your mouth muscles will remember how to execute the sounds smoothly, but in high-stress situations (class, asking a girl out, etc). Muscle memory worked for me, and I frequently shoot the shit with anyone about no serious topics just to get that easy speech practice in, so when it matters I’m more likely to speak clearly. It’s not 100% effective, but it’s definitely high 90’s over time. I’ve gone weeks without stuttering sometimes, and I used to be baaaad, like couldn’t even say my own name bad.
Kati you're awesome as always, this definitely helped me.
I've been stuttering s for years, an it's good to have a little more info from a friendly source.
Great tips young lady. Thanks so much
Relax, practice in front of the mirror, read aloud, release tension, be kind to yourself
***** thank you for this video. I dealt with stuttering and saying my "R's" when I was younger. I also have problems with putting things in order in sentences and still to this day I have to think minutes before I say anything. I'm looking into ADHD. Speaking has always been a struggle for me :/
I have been bullied lots of times but i don't care what others think. I don't usually read that much because of my stuttering, i get nervous a lot of times if i'm reading to a lot of people and i begin to stutter. I go to speech and they have demonstrate lots of methods to stop my stuttering, but none have worked for me.It came to the point where i started to think suicidal and gave'ed up and try'ed a different way to communicate with people. But its started to get better as i looked up more information online to stop it.
Interesting.First time I see this term and condition.Also...interesting how many videos are about it on right side of the screen...thank you Kati Morton.
You are right! Practice helps. I hated doing it to but it helped me in the end I was also in speech therapy when I was younger! However I still do not like getting up in front of people and speaking.
Hi! I have a massive stutter,and if you’re wondering what happens to the mind when you stutter,its
“So i- Well- OH MY GOD DAMN IT” and your voice goes “Well-Well-well-well- Well so I” (whatever you were going to say)
Interesting perspective. I always explained it to people as it’s like being in a glass prison and you can clearly see the words you want to say, but you can’t touch them; you just end up banging on the glass.
Asking questions is hard for me because they start with the word "do", which I build tension up on
Same for me, I hate starting with "do"
I don't plan on quitting stuttering. I have cut back considerably. King George VI with his stammer and Winston Churchill with his lisp kept the English Empire from succumbing to the German Wolf. Their voices were their main tools. Jimmy Stewart had a great career even with his stutter. So I will keep my stutter. Even as I have a career that includes public speaking. Just like James Earl Jones. "Luke I am your father."
I think stuttering is caused by a traumatic event between the ages of 2-7. As a Clinical Hypnotherapist I have found the cause of 100% of my clients. anything from a dog barking in a child's face, to a child seeing some one get shot. This is the spectrum that I have worked with. If any one has any questions about finding the cause of your stutter, please let me know. I think if you can find the cause, you can get to the cure. Thank you for your time
I am in my 20s and I started stuttering (I think) I will forget how to pronounce a word during the middle of the word in my conversation (and sometimes the meaning of the word too)
Thank you for this. Much needed.
Great video Kati its really helpful for me, also i love ur video's. I also find that doing RUclips videos help me get thro my problems x
I tend to snowball/avalanche with my stuttering. Six years of speech therapy in elementary school helped tremendously, but at 37, I still do it randomly. I tend to break up the stress and reset using expletives (never appropriately), but I'm more embarrassed about stuttering than using bad language.
I remember there was a contestant on American Idol who stuttered, but his stuttering went away when he sang.
SaraMakesArt i stutter and i dont stutter when i sing. x
I don't stutter when I sing
For some reason i don't stutter when i sing :)
funny thing! I play guitar and sing all the time. pretty soon I'm gonna try to start a gig and the local bar.
+Imode Killz I even sing for a living :), the trick to get stutter free lies in the way you sing. You are not busy with words that you speak but actually listen to the sound of your voice to keep pitch. Natural speaking comes when you listen to your voice and not be busy with words and try to speak them. Thats unnatural. Natural speaking is making a sound and your mouth will automaticly form them into a sentence. We who suffer from stuttering want to control this last part because of fear, making it worse.
@kati
I was delayed in speech and didn't really start talking til I was 4 or 5 and was in speech therapy. For the most part I think I can speak with no problem, but other times what I'm thinking doesn't come out the way I want to saying it. I've offended people because I wasn't able to properly say it. It seriously sounds like I dont speak English because its slurred and I mix up word orders or sounds completely unintelligible (I can write papers with good grammar and was in advanced English classes in HS) I also stutter sometimes. It's mostly when I'm overwhelmed or stimulated where I struggle to get the word out and it looks like I'm in pain or something. Most of the time I laugh it off saying I had a "mini stroke" or a brain fart. It's sometimes frustrating because if I'm busy at work it takes 2 or 4x longer to say the word wasting other peoples time. I also have issues pronouncing words which is very frustrating. I know my issues are as severe, but wonder if other people had similar experiences? Or what helped you?
So anxiety and stress don't cause stutter? I thought my stutter mainly caused by them. It developed when I was in high school. I stutter 5% in daily conversation but when I have to give speech or presentation then it will turn really bad.
Winona Wu same i had this college presentation and i was fuck cause im not used to it
Winona Wu I think that's called being human. People slip up sometimes and especially if you're nervous (such as the presentation)
yep i also faced stuttering and feel anxiety when start to talk like to talking with friends relatives but i better know how i recover and make batter because of in my point of view its not a dieses it just a thought that often people make in our mind since childhood or adult aged when he/she talked that stutter on some word so you give signal to brain whatever i stop those words or sentences and hope you are stutter that is often doing with me but now a days i probably recover but when i feel anxiety that make stutter and my speech flow disturbed. and mam kati your video is make better understanding to know cure the stuttering. thanks alot.
Omg! Thank you so much. You just got a new Subscriber :D. This will greatly help me.
I can speak perfectly in front of a mirror in empty room.
But when there's a person I can't speak properly.
.
I stutter least when taking to an old friend or family member.
But stutter most when taking to a new person
I used to stutter in Junior High. Then magically it just went away, Then it came back temporarily during high school, and then went away and i've never stuttered again. I'm in my early 40's now.
SomeStuff your really lucky :) (too bad I'm young but I really hate myself but I learned that you should try to just talk not think about stuttering)
I suspect mine is 90% nerves, but when I'm nervous, my cerebral palsy kicks in. My tongue can tense up and cause me to get stuck on certain sounds, and my throat can tighten to the point I have to force sound out in the first place.
Everyone at my high school makes fun of my bad stutter, I stutter like every sentence and it does make me insecure to talk
i legit can't stutter when i'm alone, thats the thing that bugs me out
I've had it since i was 3 all the way to 11 I am 11
I looked up this video because I heard someone say they had a stuttering problem, and I realized that I don't think that even once in my life have I ever noticed that someone who was talking to me had a stutter. I'm sure I've interacted with plenty of people that have a Street stutter, but I certainly have never noticed or thought about it
I feel like my experience is different than most. I stuttered severely-moderately from age 4-11, then stopped completely from 12-19, but then it came back in a mild form and I still have it to this day (I'm 24.) I wish I could go back to my teenage years of not stuttering but I can't seem to do it.

I developed a stammer in my early years, around aged 4 I think. It gradually got worst as I got older, with hindsight because of the stress and anxiety that accompanied it whilst entering my teen years and having to socialize more. Upon entering my 20s, I learnt strategies to either hide, avoid or mask my stammer, which alleviated the stress and anxiety somewhat. What I did notice when I stammered is that it was accompanied by a mindset, a way of being, that I would describe as, lacking in self confidence, low self esteem, fearful and afraid. I guessed this state of being probably came about either through some childhood trauma, that I cannot recollect, or through some genetic factors, since my father also stammers.
Since I had no recollection of trauma, I decided to work on the genetic option and assume that I have neural pathways that have formed either very early on, or were passed onto me genetically which made me stammer and were fear possibly related. I made a decision that I would form new neural pathways which would bypass the old ones. To achieve this I had to reinvent myself and create a new personality, hence new neural pathways. I observed the times when i didn't stammer and noted what I was doing differently and began repeating them over and over again.
Its difficult to explain what was specifically different, except to say it was a feeling, a confident feeling. I spoke more loudly, with a slight change in the tone, almost like a forced accent. I decided to raise my head, pull my shoulders back and walk around like i had no cares in the world. I joined dance classes and kept nurtured a feeling of the world is my oyster firmly in the front of my mind. I relinquished fear.
I'm in my forties now and 95% of the time I don't stammer. When I do, it's usually because I'm overtired or let fear back into my life. The old me is still there, I doubt it will ever go away, but it's firmly locked away. My advice to people who stammer is... reinvent yourself. The stammer in you is the broken you and you keep going down the same old neural pathways that you created many years ago that no longer serve you anymore. So, yes you are right partially. It is brain wiring, but we can change our wiring. Whenever we do something new, we create new neural pathways, new wiring.
+Back Space Have u read the book Reediting stuttering its for free online if you look it up on Google. It explains the mystery of stuttering from a recovered ex stutterer. Reinventing yourself is touched upon (not exactly in those words) in the book. You should definitely check it out. Im getting over my speech impediment i have come a long way. i don't believe it is genetic at all i think that is completely bull shit. I do believe about our neural wiring tho.
+Christian n Hi Christian, good to hear you are getting over your stammer. Every example of people getting over a stammer is a great example for everyone still struggling with their speech. I will check out the book for sure. Regards Genetics. I believe it's partially genetic in some people, but not everyone. For me, There is some family history going back 3 generations. I believe I inherited my fathers brain wiring, and he, his fathers wiring. That doesn't mean we are stuck with it because as i explained above, we can create new brain wiring. We do it every day with our new experiences. It's just my opinion however, I may be wrong, but for me I can see the logic in genetics.
Bro first day of school I the end because I get nervous af and stutter
I have stuttering but it wasn't worse until but at age 19 I had bad stress anxiety and depression now is much worse 😢
thanks a lot this video helped to feel better
I don't know why but, I don't feel as bad as I use to about stuttering, I feel special for some reason, like its a interesting challenge, and people can't take nothing from me because they can't except it. I do only what I need to do and that makes me feel good weather it works out or not
I started stuttering after receiving a concussion playing football. 😢it sucks but my stutter isn't as bad as a lot of the people that stutter that I see.
It's weird because when I present in front of my class I don't stutter I guess because I'm so scared of stuttering that I don't weird huh 😂🤔
Aww, sorry to hear that.
Talk in the car, bluetooth exists so everyone is going to think you are in the phone.
I used to stutter only in English because it is my second language.
I stutter alone and with others and didn’t start till I met someone who did I started at 14 now 4 years later I’ve been diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome
Hey kati, I got the feels when I saw you made this video as I just had the worst day and my stutter was so bad.-exam stress is the worst ,anyway thanks :), Your tips were very helpful and you are so understanding!
Do you know if people generally stutter more when they are working or if the role mean they find it easier? Im about to leave school and my parents are pressuring me to get a job as a waitress or at a shop but I really struggle to break the block at the start of questions, and if I have to say a specific word or phrase without substituting it eg, "Do you want some more drinks"(especially if it is to strangers). Sorry if this makes no sense. You are amasing!
i have a stuttering problem from my childhood........when im alone speaking i never stutter but when im in public i stutter on few words...i think my stuttering is due to my low confidence...so wht should i do to stop it??..plz reply me
***** Can you talk a bit about infant/young child abuse and how it might be linked to adult problems? (BPD and ED) Love your videos!
My papa developed a stutter when I was born, so when I learned to talk, I learned to talk stuttering. All my friends, classmates, and teachers know I stutter. Some of my friends are starting to stutter. And someone keeps taking my pencil or pen I have out and then run around the room. The other day this happened.
Friend: *takes pen/pencil*
Me: give it b-b- back!
Me: give m-m-m-m-m-m-m- my pencil back!
Friend: it sounded like a rap. M-m-m-m my.
THE answer is singing. I am a stutterer. With no cure but you never have seen a singing stutterer. We have to sing while we talk. But not "sing". lol
People already think I'm a weirdo, 'cause I don't talk too much if I feel like building up the tension, I'm going to stutter. If I, idk, let the tension out by screaming or doing some odd sound in the middle of a sentence, they'll probably think that I have some kind of mental problem
get teased for my stuttering all the time i hate it.. it makes me not wanna talk
My stuttering goes from level 10 to 99 when I'm angry .
Me too
Me too
Very interesting, though strange that they say such a high percentage begins at such a young age. I started to stutter when I was way older, due to anxiety, and it still happens on the phone, in stressful situations and
The problem I have is that non stutterers have no idea as to how to "cure" stutterers. You have no idea. Stuttering is only partially "mental". It is also physical. You just have no idea. Sometimes I can talk, sometimes I cant.
I don't stutter when I am really focused and it's strange but I only stutter in some languages
This really helped!! New subbie!!!
People used to think Why I never talked in school but when I was in elementary school i used to hate the first days of school cause they would always make you say your name and what you did over the summer and stuff and since I was scared I would tense up and I physically couldn’t speak it’s like I had a speech block or something. And my teachers used to always say to speak up when I couldn’t 😕
Thank You!
You are talking sooo Smoothly.I think I am Jealous.Good work.Keep it up
