>Leaning into Stuttering I agree with everything you mentioned. Yes indeed, it's effective to feel the fear and speak anyway (while resisting the compulsion/rituals) (as you correctly pointed out). In order to make your strategy clearer to me, I'd like to pose these questions: * What do you define as: "Leaning into Stuttering"? (besides letting go of control) * What do you define as **the compulsion** that leads to a speech block? (in other words, what do you define as the main behavioral issue during a speech block?) * What do you define as a '**speech block**'? * What **disruptions** do you define that halt the movement of speech muscles (causing a block)? * What **unhelpful ways to apply these disruptions** do you define? * How do you distinguish **open stuttering** from starting an impaired stutter program (or starting a defective [speech plan](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/11fn406/poll_do_you_understand_this_one_of_the_most/))? * How do you distinguish **embracing the identity of a stutterer** from putting complete faith in the forward flow of speech? * What is your ARTS website? Google offers three different ARTS **stuttering** websites (ssiskinstuttering center, stuttering beacon therapy and another therapy from New Zealand)
