I’m so happy I came across this video. It’s comforting seeing some of my own coping mechanisms, practices and experiences articulated amongst the panel. Great video❤
Many people think stuttering is just caused by nervousness but like Emily Blunt said, it can be a neurological cause. I read about a man who was in an accident that caused trauma to the speech part of his brain. When he recovered he had a stutter. Also there is research that links GERD, severe acid reflux, as a baby to stuttering due to movements of the tongue not developing correctly.
No, that is not the case. It is not in the tongue. Stuttering is a co-ordination problem where-in the stutterer cannot co-ordinate speech and thought. If you notice stutterers cannot stutter while singing, this is because the song and rythm is already known (less thinking). If it would have been in the tongue then stutterers should stutter while singing also. Also with practice this co-ordination can be improved to a great deal to such an extent, that it goes un-noticed to the average listener.
@@hrishikeshmaluskar1224So, you mean, if I don't stutter when I'm singing. There is a high chance that it'll recover when I receive therapy from a therapist. Sorry for my bad English grammar, I'm not a native.
Interesting, we only know of 1 person in the family with a stutter, and that was my dad's aunt. I stuttered since age 4, and I am about to be 52. I was in my 20's when I finally had SLP who specialized in stuttering. I still carry the shame around... and haven't lived to full potential.
I wish I could ask Emily Blunt, "How is it that when the camera starts rolling, it just goes away?" I do know every person with a stutter has a unique case. Some words are harder for some. Some initial sounds are more difficult but for others they aren't. Perhaps for her unique, neurological composition, somehow when her brain is performing memorized lines it bypasses whatever the neurological cause of the stutter is. For myself, I have found it more difficult to speak when reciting text or reading aloud from a book rather than just normal, routine daily discourse. I guess it is just that. Every case is unique. I think I would love acting if I could turn the stutter off. Right now, I know I would ruin the scene.
We hear you. Stuttering can have an incredible impact on your life. Also, support is available from various resources around the globe, and it is possible to be a great communicator, whether you stutter or not.
wow - at the 10 minute mark. that's interesting and powerful that the biggest change is it's ok to be an empowered speaker and stutter vs being broken

@@hrishikeshmaluskar1224 The research reports the possible link. Some causes are idiopathic of course.

In the book Tough Love it says half the stutter is fighting the stutter. Just stutter and you stutter less:)

Thank you for enlightening me. The advice to be patient and make eye contact and be curious and listen, is very helpful. I’ll remember.❤
Thank you for this ❤
