The Ugly Truth About Stuttering Blocks (And How to Beat Them)
If you stutter, you know the block.
That awful, split-second pause where your throat locks up, your breath disappears, and it feels like the whole world is waiting for you to speak.
Blocks are the silent monster of stuttering. They don’t get as much attention as repetitions or prolongations, but they’re the ones that can make us feel trapped and powerless.
Here’s the ugly truth:
The harder you fight a block, the worse it grips you.
Pretending it’s not there only builds more tension.
And avoiding words doesn’t make blocks go away — it makes them stronger.
Most people don’t realize this… but your relationship with blocks determines your freedom.
