So. To put this into a Model: * Stimulus (fear of being judged) * Needs: (I rely on the NEED that others do not notice my stuttering) & (I NEED to decrease my closeness with the girl I just met - to make it easier to execute speech) i.e., they strengthen the Approach-avoidance conflict or fight-flight-freeze response. *(Strengthening of the mind to hold back speech, or to put more limitations on expressing communication)* * Conditioned suppression: The subconscious mind suppresses "executing the speech plan" i.e., excessive regulation of speech plan execution * Manifestations: Secondary behaviors (such as speaking more slowly) to try not to stutter \~\~ Is this correct? Any improvements? I'd like to learn from your insight!
