Yep. I would also explain how he can distinguish his domination so that he knows if his stuttering is psychologicaly dominated. Can he do this by checking: \- doesn't he stutter in one situation but he blocks in other situations? \- can he set a condition like 'this person is new, so I will speak fluently'? So he can convince himself 'now it makes sense to speak fluently'? \- every stutterer before he stutters, he knows or feels a stutter anticipation. Can he distract himself from this stutter anticipation to speak fluently? \- can he use an anchor (like gesture, feeling, symbol, etc) to switch between stuttering and fluency? \- can he speak fluently if he doesn't try? \- can he speak fluently if he doesn't overthink? \- can he speak fluently if he doesn't think about stuttering? \- can he speak fluently if he decides to stop thinking? Can he speak fluently if he doesn't care? ​ Question: can one check this by asking above questions? **What other questions can he ask himself to check for psychological dominance?**
