>We just don’t know any other path of speaking I agree with you that we don't know know any other path of speaking, we certainly don't **focus** on maintaining the forward flow of speech. The problem lies in the fact that we tell ourselves that we do (giving us the impression that we tried) ignorant of the fact that we actually **focused** on unhelpful corrections. In my opinion, we can all consciously move our speech muscles during a block because we don't stutter when voiceless mouthing which could mean that all PWS have a fluency mental state and a stutter mental state, and the moment we experience: (1) convincing stimuli, yes indeed like anticipation, (2) or overthink or overreact to this stimuli, (3) apply secondary characterists or unhelpful strategies, we are reinforcing the pathways of the stutter mental state
