To be honest, I had the same issue as you. What I tried was this: \- when I'm alone I don't stutter Strategy: 1. when I'm speaking with people, before I actually speak I first visualize (imagine) that I'm alone 2. then I speak to other people (while visualizing I'm alone) 3. this is really hard in the beginning, because if they talk back or you see/hear them, then it counters your believe. So you can do this in steps like closing your eyes first or only one-side dialogues 4. Once I got the hang of it, I was able to speak fluently without technique, completely naturally with people by visualizing that I"m alone Learning milestones: * The key part you need to learn from this strategy is to build an anchor feeling 'of non-stutterer' like when you speak alone and then simulate this feeling when you speak with people and that is how I reached step 3. * In my experience I never stuttered when speaking to someone with eyes closed while visualing I'm alone (step 1). If you can't do step 1, then I highly doubt you can remove stuttering with this technique. This strategy is only effective if you truly don't stutter when you are in a comfortable situation. * If you stutter in step 3 then switch back to step 2. If you stutter in step 2, switch back to step 1. * I think to reach step 3, will take about 3 days. So let me know in 3 days your results. Also, after 3 days I stopped using this strategy of visualizing I'm alone completely, but perhaps (maybe) I could have removed stuttering if I had continued applying this strategy but again that's a maybe. * Step 4 is speaking to someone without visualizing that you are alone, where you only use the anchor (non-stutterer mentality)
