Hi Kate, thanks for reading and commenting! For me, just overall anxiety and feeling rushed is a huge trigger for my stuttering. Working on slowing down -- not just my speech, but my whole self -- is huge. Finding some kind of outlet: something active that you really enjoy -- running, biking, hiking, walking, sports, yoga, anything -- is really important. I also notice that caffeine can have a negative impact on my stuttering (but I love coffee, so I live with that) and I know that when I eat poorly and do not get enough sleep, my stuttering increases... I hope that's helpful!! Keep in touch... we SLPs who stutter need to stick together... Joe kleinj@strose.edu
