Hello.
Not one to do anything by halves: my claim is to have been probably the worst stutterer in the history of the planet. Well, it seemed like that to me, anyway.
Now I am 95% fluent. At age 51. But better late than never.
What I'd like to say most is BREATHE.
I know you don't know how.
Nobody does.
When therapists tell you to breathe, you just want to slap them around and scream: "HOW???"
I learned. It works. But it was very difficult.
But for now: here's a tip that works for me:
Stick your finger in your ear and speak.
Try it :)
