>*"When we do tasks, the techniques work, but when we talk freely, they don't, it's like being in a completely different world, it’s really strange how can this happen?, I tried to find the cause and I couldn't. my speech therapist keeps telling me to come to the therapy, even though she don't know the reason why the techniques are not working in free conversations or with others people"* You can ask your speech therapist to examine and delve into the "*execution threshold hypothesis (*[*1*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/15cl7wd/tips_to_improve_stuttering_from_the_research/)*,* [*2*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1126a5n/tips_to_improve_stuttering_according_to_a_phd/)*)*" in stuttering, which suggests that the "*threshold*" becomes too high in certain situations (e.g., when speaking to people) to stop initiating articulation (or stop executing speech movements). You can propose to your speech therapist to focus on practicing: unlearning overreliance on this *execution threshold* & analyzing your thoughts, body sensations and emotions that you perceive as a loss of control (to stop executing speech movements) which raises the *execution threshold* too high.
